LISA messenger

In episode 4 on #MerryBiz we chat with one of our biggest inspirations (when she said yes to the interview we actually squealed and jumped up and down #truestory).

She is the CEO and creative director of The Messenger group as well as founder and editor-in chief of The Collective magazine.

She’s authored and co-authored over a dozen books and The Messenger Group has custom published more than 400 books for companies and individuals.

She currently runs a multi-platform business with over 25 staff, delivers a monthly magazine and support products all while maintaining life balance!

#MERRYBIZ SHOW NOTES 

Some questions we ask… 

  • Take us back 14 years to when your business journey began…
  • Why did you decide to start The Collective magazine? 
  • How did you secure the funding to start the magazine without getting investors on board?
  • How and why do you rely so much on your intuition to make business decisions? 
  • How has social media and your online presence impacted the success of The Collective magazine? 
  • Share your work/life balance strategy… how do you manage to get SO much done? 

“I wanted to form a media where we could get into the grit and real stuff… the pain, the hustle and what it takes to be successful.”
