The Boatanista

I am beyond excited to share this podcast with Captain Sandy and Beyond the Docks! 💙⚓

This conversation is all about life on the water—the freedom, the clarity, the joy—and my journey as a woman navigating and thriving in the marine industry.

Being on the water isn’t just something I do… it’s who I am. And getting to share that story at this level is incredibly meaningful to me.

Tune in, lean into your own “blue mind,” and come along for the ride. 🌊✨

There are moments when you realize your business isn’t just a business… it’s a calling.
I had the honor of being featured on the Living My Faith channel, where I got to share something much deeper than boats, memberships, or entrepreneurship… I got to share my heart. ❤️

As a co owner of Freedom Boat Club here in Northeast Florida, I’ve always believed this journey was about more than getting people on the water. It’s about creating joy, connection, peace… and yes, even moments where people feel closer to God.

In this interview, I open up about:
⚓ How my faith guides my decisions in business
⚓ What it really means to lead with purpose
The challenges, the growth, and the surrender along the way
This one is personal. And I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share it.

If you’ve ever wondered how faith and business can truly come together… I hope this speaks to you. 🙏

Lisa shares how faith guided her career leap, built her business, and shapes how she leads, serves others, and trusts God through every challenge.

What a great thing she is doing to inspire young people to get into the Marine industry
