Today's Guest is the definition of a fierce female.

Lisa Messenger is Australia's ultimate success story when she captivated her audience and quickly became a global sensation when launching her print magazine The Collective Hub in 2013. Lisa quickly gained a loyal community of aspiring entrepreneurs who were ready to say goodbye to the 9 to 5.

Working alongside the likes Richard Branson, Anna Wintour and the world's biggest leaders, Lisa and her dedicated team provided their readers with inspiration, knowledge and the tools to support them to build their brand and businesses from the ground up.

This author, motivational speaker and all round amazing human has shown the world that it takes hustle, grit and a hell of a lot of risk and resilience to build a global phenomenon. Lisa gives you all of the raw and honest details in her newest book Risk & Resilience which launched this month.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa in her apartment to talk about the courageous decision to break The Collective Hub, the importance of being open and vulnerable, that big is not always better and her plans to rebuild a fool proof brand.
