Meet the Live Your Message
Dream Team
Behind Every Great Business Is a Great Team
Just as it takes a whole village to raise a child, we believe it takes a whole team to sustain a successful business.
One of our core values here at Live Your Message is “If We Want to Go Far, Go Together.”
We’re stronger together than we are apart, as a team… and as a tribe.
No matter how good we are at what we do as individuals, we believe in teamwork, collaboration and mentorship. When you join the Live Your Message Tribe, you’re not just learning from Marisa, you’re learning from the whole team. There’s no such thing as a self-made millionaire!
If you’re looking for a job where you can fully use your skills, express yourself and make a difference, check out our CAREERS page for open opportunities!

MARISA MURGATROYD
Visionary/CEO
Marisa started her career as an artist who was told by her father that she had no marketable skills. She figured out how to build a mid-7-figure business anyway and shown over 7,000 students how to succeed online — many of whom also felt like they had “no marketable skills” or were told they couldn’t do it.

MARISA MURGATROYD
Founder & CEO
Hey, it’s Marisa! You already know me but it never hurts to introduce yourself. I’m the founder of Live Your Message where I get people so excited about changing their lives that they stop dreaming… and start doing.
My superpower is “translating essence into form.” In other words, turning those vague ideas in your head into a catchy and quotable business message and a gorgeous brand. I help entrepreneurs like you create a business that’s authentic and aligned with who you are.
I learned the art and science of “how to get anyone excited about anything” in my award-winning career as a documentary filmmaker. While making movies about everything from dirt to methamphetamine addiction, I discovered the power of storytelling to instantly transform the conversation and move people to action.
From the time I first walked into a room and was greeted with, “I know you from the internet!,” I realized the power of online marketing to take your message to millions… and I’ve been hooked ever since!
At 4’11” and a quarter, I’m called the shortest woman in marketing — but that doesn’t stop me from having huge ideas. In addition to Live Your Message, I’m also the Co-founder of Xperiencify, the world’s first fully gamified membership site system.
Over the last decade I’ve brought in over $40 million in online course and program sales. So rest assured, I know what I’m doing when I help you build your online empire.
I live in Austin, Texas with the love of my life, Murray. Together, we’ve grown our online business from scratch, while building an amazing community of world-changing superheroes.
KATE WAN
Chief Operating Officer
I’m the Chief Operations Officer at Live Your Message, which has been featured on Inc’s 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America 4 years in a row.
During my career I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of industries — from large corporations to start ups, to starting my own company and helping others grow theirs. I’ve seen it all when it comes to leading complex teams and I’m excited every day to bring my experience to Live Your Message.
I manage the leadership team — including the Directors of Operations, Fulfillment, Creative Agency and Customer Support. As it says on our organizational chart, I’m “the glue that holds the company together”.
I also support Marisa by running the day-to-day business, helping steer the ship and fostering growth every step of the way.
We’re a world class team who gets world class results (and we have fun doing it)!
