Lisa Messenger

About

Speaker. Author. Founder. Always evolving, never conforming.I don’t just build businesses—I challenge the very idea of how they should be built.Over the past 24 years, I’ve launched, scaled, and reinvented multiple ventures from the ground up. I started with The Messenger Group in 2001, custom publishing over 400 books, before leaping headfirst into the unknown with Collective Hub—a print magazine I launched in 2013 with zero experience in magazines or big media. It became a global multimedia brand sold in 37 countries and graced coffee tables and vision boards around the world.Along the way, I’ve authored more than 40 books across business, mindset, wellness, and reinvention—including Daring & Disruptive, Money & Mindfulness, Risk & Resilience, and Work From Wherever. I’ve built a community of over 800,000 loyal followers and featured cover stars like Sarah Jessica Parker, Ryan Gosling, and George Clooney. I’ve spoken alongside Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, and Gary Vee, and worked with powerhouse brands like L’Oréal, Facebook, HP, and IBM.But the real story? It’s in the messy middle. I’ve shut down businesses at their peak, walked away from what no longer served, and rebuilt everything—smarter, leaner, more aligned. I share openly about the raw, real behind-the-scenes because I believe failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of it.These days, I run a high-impact, soul-led business focused on creativity, content, and connection. I host 3-day retreats quarterly in Byron Bay, helping people harness the power of AI and build personal brand ecosystems with authenticity and ease. I also work one-on-one with founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to scale with intention and build businesses that feel as good as they look.I’ve just completed my debut fiction novel, I’m relaunching my podcast Hear me RAW, and I’m more energised than ever by the power of reinvention. I believe the future belongs to those bold enough to evolve, and my mission is to help others rise into their fullest, freest expression.If you’re building something brave, craving reinvention, or want to bring more depth, daring, and soul to your brand—let’s connect.
