lizabeth Pipko wants to change the world. “I know I’m a long way away,” she tells me with a smile, as we enjoy coffee a few minutes from her South Florida home where she spends her time when not in her native New York City. While listening to her speak I must remind myself that the young lady sitting in front of me is only 26 years old. She speaks with the insight and candor of someone wise beyond her years, all the while telling me she hopes to never grow up. “We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing” she reminds me. I enjoy how seriously she takes her own advice as she continues to make jokes throughout our almost two-hour conversation.
