Laugh, or You'll Cry
Overview
Laugh or you’ll cry is a night out for entrepreneurs!
Join Lisa Bean LIVE on stage as she shares two hours of hilarious, humbling, and yet strangely uplifting stories about business, success, and change!
“This is my first ever ‘show on the road’. I’ve been warming up for this my entire life. Think Mel Robbins meets Sarah Millican, maybe with less profanity for now haha (love you Sarah!)”
Laugh or You’ll Cry is a raw, hilarious, two-hour show where entrepreneur, author, and business coach Lisa Bean takes to the stage to tell stories about life as an entrepreneur.
Lisa talks about:
The hilarious (and terrible) reality of launching your own business, sleepless nights of worrying about money, and the drive that never leaves you to find a way to make this work.
How life as a military kid, going to new schools every two years before landing in military boarding school shaped her personality.
Her long, messy journey from start-up… to debt… to depression… to finally finding her edge as a speaker, coach and entrepreneur.
It’s honest. It’s unfiltered. It’s unexpectedly uplifting.
And it will make you laugh so hard you might cry – or cry so hard you might laugh. We’re not sure yet!
If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt stuck or wondered “is this it?”, you’ll recognise parts of this story of hope, of effort in the darkness, or sheer gritty determination.
