Australian Entrepreneur Lisa Messenger

In My Heart with Heather Thomson

Australian entrepreneur Lisa Messenger is the vibrant, game-changing founder and CEO of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013 with no experience in an industry that people said is either dead or dying. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, events and more recently, co-working spaces – all of which serve to ignite human potential. Lisa is an international speaker, best-selling author, and an authority on disruption in both the corporate sector and the start-up scene. Lisa’s experience in publishing has seen her produce over 400 custom-published books for companies and individuals as well as having authored and co-authored many herself. Most notably, Lisa charted her ride to success with her best-selling book Daring & Disruptive, its sequel, Life & Love, reached #1 on Booktopia, Money & Mindfulness hit best-selling status within the first month. Lisa then channeled her entrepreneurial energy into Purpose. A book about how to find your ‘why’ and the rest will look after itself. Then came Risk & Resilience – a personal story of how she overcame the making and breaking of her own brand, in order to evolve into the next stage in business and life. Lisa’s latest offering, Work From Wherever, shares the lessons she learned rebuilding a brand on the move and the incredible nomads she met on her travels. Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to change the way they think, take them out of their comfort zone and prove that there is more than one way to do anything. Lisa and her partner went through years of infertility treatments, including many rounds of IVF. They are now expecting their son this August via their friend who volunteered to be their surrogate. Heather and Lisa talk all things entrepreneur, personal struggles, and looking at things in different ways, including how to have a child.
