SXSW 2025: Lisa DelMonte — Head of Creative, Co-Host @ Audience 101

Between wrangling speakers and everything else that goes into putting on a speakeasy at SXSW, Lisa popped into the studio to talk about why she, Mike, Mary, and the team hosted the Lively Grit Daily House at SXSW 2025.

We talk about dogs, parenthood, the gender dynamics of cool, and more.

“It's your personality and how you connect with people and what your vibe is and how you're communicating and talking and treating people… The way you treat others makes you cool or not.” -Lisa DelMonte
