I have a very special guest in this episode today and I’m so pumped for you to hear all the things we talk about. Her name is Lisa Messenger and if you haven’t heard of her, where have you been? This woman, this incredible raw and real business woman, is an absolute boss bitch.
Lisa is a best-selling author, the CEO and Editor in Chief of The Collective Hub, which is an international business and lifestyle platform that, among many things, publishes books, puts on events and helps people who want to upskill themselves. She has 20 years of business under her belt and is so open and so real. I love her energy and I know you’re going to love this episode. We talk about everything from business to cults, meditation, death, dogs, you name it. She’s amazing.
Having just launched a new podcast, “Hear Me Raw”, and releasing a new journal called Create Your Best Life, Lisa has been busy in isolation. This woman does not stop! Please go check out her podcast, buy her books and tune in to this episode to hear more about Lisa and all of the things she’s up to.
