In the inaugural episode, Andrea Jung, current president and CEO of Grameen American and former CEO of Avon, revealed that she learned one of her one of her biggest lessons when didn’t fight the Avon board ‘hard enough on a decision that, [I think] had huge implications for the company.’

“I’ve always been fascinated by what makes a person successful and why we don’t talk enough about the real things that are behind that,’ Liu said in a statement. “I’m excited ‘Radiate’ provides that unique platform for Masters of the Universe to talk candidly about their lives so that others can learn. We’re all looking for that extra thing that will help us and this will provide that for listeners.”

Liu was formerly an anchor and correspondent for CNBC Asia, based in Hong Kong. She covered the daily market action in the Greater China region for all of CNBC’s morning shows including the signature program “Squawk Box.” She anchored the coverage of the China market meltdown in February 2007 and also anchored CNBC’s newest show, “Capital Connection,” which launched in March 2007.

Before entering television, Liu was the Atlanta bureau chief for The Financial Times.
