Let’ s Meet Lisa Forbes ….
Hello. What is your name? How long have you been involved in the entertainment business? My name is Lisa Forbes but in the biz I ' m known as L. or L. Marrie
When did you know that you wanted to be in this business and what was your motivation? I have always wanted to be in entertainment in some form or fashion. I began my college career as a Theater major and attended my first few years on a theatre scholarship. Lately, it seems I have become more interested in being behind the scenes in production and management.
Who has helped you along the way and inspired you the most? It is hard to narrow it down to just one or two people. First, as always I have been helped most by God who has provided me with the talents and resources to be successful. Next I would have to thank my business partner and fiancé who is incredibly talented. It ' s hard not to be inspired when you around someone who has the same vision, not to mention he is a slave driver so there is no time for slacking on my part. Finally, I have met so many incredible independent artists and they motivate me to provide them with a space where they can showcase their talents. I also have a wonderful family of radio broadcasters who I would have never met had it not been for Internet radio.
What are some of the highlights of your career so far? The biggest highlights so far have been to interview artists from as far away as Africa and New Zealand and to have them as featured artists.
Have you received any special awards or achievements? When we were broadcasting via Blog Talk Radio we were listed on their front page as a Blog Talk Radio Pick for doing the first ever 24 hour radio telethon to raise money for The Jiddy Talk Foundation in Dallas, Texas to provide Christmas toys for underprivileged children.
Do you have any special events, shows / gigs coming up? We will be having the grand re-launch of Verb Radio coming up on May 7. It has been a long time coming and we are very excited to be back on the air!
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 or 10 years? Hmmm... that question always gets me. I guess I can honestly say wherever the Lord leads me.
What would you like your legacy to be? I would like to know that I made a difference in some way to someone. Even if it is something as simple as a person being able to say I made them smile.
Do you have other interests? What services does your company offer? My fiancé and I are partners in Ellen Wright Group LLC, which owns Verb Radio and The Verb Radio Network. We are Creative Consultants providing self publishing support to writers and we do audio production. We also offer critique and consultative work in these areas.
Any special words of encouragement or advice for our readers?... whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Amen.
