Cablefax Daily interviewed Fox Business Network anchor Liz Claman on her induction into the Cable Hall of Fame.

I had this fear that if I stayed too long in each place, my roots would grow too deep to extricate myself in order to reach my holy grail: the network!

I worked like crazy, landed big guests and Fox gave me my own show with my name on it—16 years in, we’re still building every day and I love that.
Who has been one of your favorite interviews?

He pulled off a business and cultural miracle: He got tea-drinking nations Britain and China to love coffee. Amazing and inspiring.
