    About this guest

    For those of you who do not know Lisa Morris, she …

    1. Broadway Star → Multi‑Million-Dollar Entrepreneur → Family Office Powerhouse
      Lisa Morris is a Broadway touring performer turned entrepreneur; she founded and built Road Concierge, a multi‑million-dollar entertainment travel agency, before selling it to a multi‑billion‑dollar travel conglomerate (Internova, via ALTOUR), where she still leads the entertainment travel division and now serves as Managing Director at AKS Family Partners and Director of Philanthropic Services for FORCE Family Office.
    2. From Schemes at a Hedge Fund to Savvy Founder
      While touring as an actress, Lisa realized artists were poorly served by traditional travel agencies. She launched Road Concierge originally as a side hustle—but quickly turned that into a full-time business after booking travel for top Broadway and touring productions, including Les Miserables, Cats, Evita, Beauty and the Beast, and even Prince's shows.
    3. Impact Investor & Philanthropy Advocate
      Lisa's influence extends well beyond entertainment: she now invests in early-stage impact-driven startups (like SociAvi, which helps the elderly safely use tech) and serves in influential philanthropic roles—pitch coaching through NYSERDA/Columbia, advisor to organizations like the Mary Tyler Moore Foundation and Coralus, and senior advisor at the largest U.S. family office network, FORCE Family Office.
