Link Live with Lorenzo Costa
Link Live is a weekly podcast featuring raw, in-depth conversations with entrepreneurs, founders, creators, and connectors across industries and generations. Each episode explores real journeys — the challenges, breakthroughs, failures, and life lessons behind building something from nothing.
Hosted by Lorenzo Costa, Founder & CEO of Chicago-based marketing agency Link Creative and production studio Link Label Studios, the show goes beyond surface-level success stories. Conversations are honest, unfiltered, and grounded in real experience.
Every episode builds toward a deeper discussion on how social media, digital presence, and today’s constantly evolving culture have influenced each guest’s path and accelerated their growth.
New episodes drop weekly, featuring special guests from all backgrounds, stages, and walks of life.
