So if you want to create a personal brand, get better conversions, learn key business skills, and find practical and innovative ways to grow a business and make a Dent in the universe this podcast is for you.

CEO of The Hunger Project Australia for over 17 years, Cathy has just recently become The Hunger Project’s Global Leader for Partnerships and Global Vice President. She was voted winner of the Australian Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence Awards, and frankly I’m not surprised, because she is making one hell of a dent in the universe.

Her mission to end world hunger by 2030 is spreading like wildfire across the globe, and Cathy and The Hunger Project believe the hungry people in poverty are the biggest resources to reaching that goal. The Hunger Project unlocks the creativity, leadership and entrepreneurialism of the hungry so they can feed their families.
Having spent extensive time in villages across India, Bangladesh and Africa, Cathy has witnessed first-hand the shocking truths behind poverty stricken life, as well as the mind-blowing transformations that can stem from education, structure and leadership. Her book Unlikely Leaders present these transformations and the strong messages of courage, boldness and vision from the poorest of the poor.
From uncovering the catalyst that told Cathy she needed to do something bigger, smashing through the charity paradigm by committing 100% to solve the problem, to the ability of influence leading to profound world-changing movements, I dig into the heart, power, and intense truths behind the work of The Hunger Project.

- Denying ourselves to take action and eradicating our ‘who me?’ attitude
- The answer to the question: Why do people play small?
- Our search for meaning and connection, and how to make our existence more than living and dying
- Knowing that we’re always influencing someone, and understanding some of the distinctions that underline that
- The non-literate subsistence farmers who are learning against a huge backdrop of violence to make big changes happen – and what we can learn from that
- The tools that we can learn from villagers that can give us access to productivity and more engagement

- How to go into partnership

Lisa Messenger is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Collective Magazine, best-selling author of multiple books including Daring and Disruptive, Life & Love, Money + Mindfulness and Break-Up’s & Breakthroughs. A symbol for game changers, rule breakers and style makers Lisa is truly disrupting her industry and walks her talk that “anything is possible.”
It hasn’t always been that way; in fact, throughout her twenties Lisa battled with the depths of depression, suicidal thoughts and alcohol abuse for escape from the life she now remembers as a “train smash.”
Lisa’s is a journey of courage, self-discovery and hard work – emotionally and commercially. This, she explains, has been the key to unlocking her creative power and turning it into the empire she’s built despite the odds.
Recently celebrating her ten year anniversary of freedom from alcohol dependency, in the same year she hung out with Richard Branson on his home in Necker Island, Lisa has catapulted to the centre of her industry.
Her best-selling book Daring and Disruptive is described as “the entrepreneur’s roller-coaster ride for those who want to succeed almost as much as they want to breathe” – which sums up Lisa’s personal story in a nutshell.
Top 5 takeaways from my chat with Lisa:
- The mental shifts and decisions that drove Lisa out of depression and into self-discovery
- The pivotal moment of finding her why and how you can too.
- How Lisa found the courage and determination to go against the trend and launch a print magazine amongst 5000 competitors in Australia.
- How Lisa uses social media to ‘stalk’ influencers (and how it lead to a partnership deal with one of Australia’s largest corporations)
- Lisa’s coolest once in a lifetime opportunities, including an invitation to interview Martha Stewart in her New York office, attending an editorial meeting with media giants at The New York Times and hanging out with Richard Branson on his home turf Necker Island; and how she stays humble when her mind is being blown by extraordinary experiences.
Plus we talk about Lisa’s techniques to removing the barriers from starting new business ideas, advice on business growth (with little money) through partnerships, the pitching tips that secured The Collective magazine a monthly spot in the hands of Richard Branson and his Necker Island guests, Lisa’s rituals that changed her life and why a team of rockstars around you is essential to your success, and how to attract them, reward them and keep them excited (without money as the key incentive).
