Lisa Messenger is Building a Business Empire That Actually Means Something

She didn’t follow the rulebook. She burned it.

Today, Collective Hub is more than a magazine. It’s a full-scale media and education platform with books, events, digital content, and even co-working spaces. Lisa’s not just running a company she’s lighting a fire under an entire generation of founders who want to build something that matters.

From Nothing to Global Reach

Lisa’s start wasn’t polished or perfect. She came in with no background in media and turned a so-called "dying industry" into a launchpad. She’s published over 400 custom books, written 16 of her own, and signed a global deal with Simon & Schuster.

Her books like Daring & Disruptive, Money & Mindfulness, and Purpose aren’t fluff. They’re raw, honest takes on building a business from scratch, surviving the hits, and getting back up with even more purpose.

Speaking the Truth and Owning the Stage

When she’s not writing or building the next Collective vertical, Lisa’s speaking all over the world. From sharing the stage with Richard Branson to headlining major business events across the globe, her message is simple: break the rules, trust your gut, and make something that actually matters.

She’s spoken for Telstra, IBM, McDonald’s, L’Oreal, Facebook you name it. But she doesn’t do corporate for the sake of it. She shows up with truth, a little grit, and a challenge to think bigger.

Building With Backbone

Lisa’s not just about big ideas. She’s been through the mess too. She’s openly shared the times her brand cracked, when the money dried up, when she had to reset the whole thing. Books like Risk & Resilience and Work From Wherever show what it really looks like to rebuild when everything falls apart.

That’s what sets her apart she’s not selling overnight success. She’s building with backbone.

Still Proudly Australian

Despite the global reach, Lisa’s roots are firmly in Australia. She’s shown what’s possible when you mix bold ideas with relentless execution. She’s not just representing Aussie entrepreneurship she’s helping shape it.

Lisa's also helped redefine what it means to be a business leader. She’s not about suit-and-tie boardrooms. She’s about doing work that lights you up and building brands that have a pulse.

Final Word from The Cultivator

Lisa Messenger isn’t just another “inspirational” entrepreneur. She’s the real deal. No fluff, no spin. She took risks when it wasn’t trendy, stayed true to herself, and came out the other side with a business that changes lives.

If you're building something real and not just chasing vanity metrics she’s someone worth watching.
