From There to Here Lisette Keus: The Lionfish Huntress
Lisette Keus is a lionfish huntress and entrepreneur. In this episode, she talks about widening horizons, the awareness of differences, non-profit contradictions, adapting to the opportunities, being in charge of the whole chain, fixing the problems as they occur, and to keep moving.
Lisette Keus was born in the Netherlands and grew up in the world, thanks to her adventurous and business-minded parents. Her journey has taken her from Australia to Curaçao to Bangladesh, shaping her view of the world with every step.
She once had the idealistic dream of becoming a human rights lawyer, but after a few detours, reality led her (back) to the ocean. Lisette eventually started Lionfish Caribbean, where they’re helping to tackle the invasive lionfish problem by catching them, and turning them into delicious LionDishes and beautiful jewelry. She strongly believes that long-term real change comes from businesses, not so much from non-profits, and that sustainable solutions can be both impactful and profitable.
For her, life is all about moving forward, opening your eyes and staying connected to the world around you. And if you want things to be different, then change it!
