In this episode of Success Is Subjective, career educator and coach Lisa Marker-Robbins shares how her own journey—from navigating family expectations to founding multiple companies—has shaped the way she helps young people and their parents chart meaningful, purpose-aligned paths forward. With a background in teaching and educational leadership, Lisa launched her first company to serve 15 to 25-year-olds seeking clarity about their future. Since then, she’s started and sold companies, raised twins and bonus kids, and redefined success not as achievement alone, but as alignment with strengths and values.
Lisa opens up about the pressure she felt to attend college, the assumption she’d be a stay-at-home mom, and the powerful decision to forge her own path in educational entrepreneurship. Her philosophy? “There’s no failure or mistake, as long as there’s a lesson in it.” Whether she’s advising teens, coaching parents, or guiding clients through post-college transitions, Lisa believes career development is a family journey—and one that doesn’t need to follow a traditional script to be successful.
