I wrote "Why You Should Have (at Least) 2 Careers" for Harvard Business Review. It became one of HBR’s 30 most influential pieces in its 100-year history.

Many ask me: How do I build a life with multiple income streams?

I share answers every week in my newsletter.

You’ll spend 90,000 hours working.

Don’t waste them just chasing a paycheck.

Map your strengths. Align with your values.

Design work that energizes you—not drains you.

Your best years are meant for more than survival.

You think strength means standing alone.

Real strength comes from leaning on others.

As a songwriter and musician, I've seen how a single honest lyric can make people feel less alone.

"Lean on Me" was released in 1972 on Withers' second album.

It became his first and only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

He wrote it after moving to Los Angeles, missing the sense of community from his hometown.

Asking for help doesn't make you weak.

It makes you human.

What happens when you take a patriotic American song and make it about biking?

You get "Battle Hymn of the Bicycle" - my new single that just dropped.

A fun reimagining of "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Instead of marching into battle, we're pedaling through puddles.

The recording process was pure joy:

↳ Captured wind rushing past during morning rides
↳ Recorded the rhythmic click-click of pedal rotations
↳ Found melodies in the sound of tires on wet pavement
↳ Replaced war drums with the gentle whoosh of spinning spokes

The contrast made me smile every day in the studio.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" carries the weight of history and conflict.

But what if that same soaring grandeur could celebrate something wonderfully ordinary?

The small triumph of choosing to bike instead of drive.
The quiet victory of fresh air filling your lungs.
The surprisingly epic feeling of conquering that hill on your morning commute.

This track feels like sunshine set to music.

Sometimes the most ordinary moments deserve the most extraordinary soundtracks.

What everyday activity in your world deserves its own epic theme song?

Prior to 2010 Various Accounting Roles

As an Information Technology professional, I combine intellect, robust troubleshooting abilities, and a sense of humor to keep my clients productive. I'm excited to begin my new role as IT Service Manager in July 2024. My varied work experience has equipped me with skills in C-Level Executive Tech Support, Accounting, Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance, Telecom, and Video Conferencing Support, along with various Desktop Support skills, including hardware and software. These distinct yet interconnected skill sets benefit from my detail-oriented approach, which is one of my strengths.

I earned my BSBA in Computer Information Systems, graduating as an Arnold Fletcher Award Honoree (equivalent to magna cum laude) and received my degree on October 1, 2022. Additionally, I hold an AAS degree in Accounting/Information Systems, which included an "Excellence in Academics" certificate, and a diploma in Internetworking from PC Age Career Institute.

My parallel career as an award-winning singer/songwriter has honed my skills in other technologies, such as audio/video editing, live sound, recording engineering, arrangement, website development, maintenance, and live video conferencing and streaming across various platforms.

The integration of right brain and left brain functions epitomizes me perfectly; I am at the intersection of numbers, technology, and music.

Under the stage name Lisa Coppola, I recently celebrated a #1 hit on iTunes World Music in August 2023 with the song “Spread Hope Send Love” by Amy McAllister, and we received the World Entertainment Award in LA for Best Music Group.
