Lara Casey Isaacson is a serial entrepreneur. She’s the mind behind the wildly successful companies Southern Weddings and Cultivate What Matters.
That success meant everything was great and she’d never leave, right? Wrong.
So how did she go from being the founder and CEO of two successful companies to giving it all up to be a stay-at-home homeschool mom? Well, that’s episode 19 of “That Was Stupid.”
In this episode, Lara shares her journey of building her businesses, the challenges she faced, and the importance of faith and obedience in her life. She discusses the viral moment that propelled her into the spotlight, the lessons learned from navigating entrepreneurship without a formal background, and the balance between being a mom and a business owner. She also reflects on the grief of letting go of Southern Weddings and Cultivate What Matters and announces a brand new role as CEO (chief education officer) of Faith Driven Students.
