In this episode of Women Unlocking Wealth, Tamara and Danielle welcome renowned Sedona restaurateur Lisa Dahl for a powerful conversation on building wealth that goes far beyond money.

Lisa shares her personal journey that shaped her path to create multiple award-winning restaurants rooted in culture, creativity, and purpose. With more than 300 team members and six distinct dining concepts, Lisa explains why identity, service, and intentional leadership separate thriving brands from those that feel like “just another place.”

She also reflects on losing her entire team during COVID, rebuilding from the ground up, and why culture can’t be written into a handbook but must be lived daily.

If this episode resonates with you, share it with a woman who’s building, rebuilding, or scaling something of her own and tell us in the comments what kind of legacy you’re creating.
