Thrive Episode # 81 - Cultivating Artistic Success With Guest Lisa Tamagini Welcome to the second season of Thrive! We took a break but we are back and we are so excited about the lineup of guests we have for this season. One of our goals for season two is to bring in more creativity, more artistry, more music, and see where the intersection lies between entrepreneurship, success, and creativity. Because as someone who is an operatic singer, who came up to carve out a career on stage, and then pivoting into entrepreneurship and branding, a lot of what I bring to my business and what makes me unique and successful as a brand strategist comes directly from my expertise and my experience on stage and being an artist.

She teaches students who have gone on to be on Broadway, who have graced operatic stages in the United States and in Europe. Some of her students have also gone on to appear on The Voice and American Idol. She is the real deal and a true artist.
