Lisa Egan started her career as a licensed psychotherapist. She worked with a number of women in the middle of life transitions, and realized quickly that there were a lot of women with good ideas, but little experience in implementing them. Being an entrepreneur, and wanting to help these women, Lisa started WiseWomen Radio. As an outgrowth of this initiative, Lisa began to work in the financial services industry, eventually started her own firm. Today, Lisa is the President and Founder of The WiseGroup Insurance and Financial Services. Having observed a family member struggling to cover the cost of long term care, Lisa has a passion for helping seniors as they plan for the future, and, in many cases, for living years beyond what they may have originally expected. Lisa can be reached at (214) 272-8914, or visit her on the web at www.wisegroupinsurance.com.
