Pivot, Pitch, Repeat: Larissa Banting’s Reinvention Story
Episode 86
What do you do when your business takes a hit—then another, and another?
Larissa Banting built a seven-figure destination wedding company in Costa Rica, only to be hit with economic downturns, internal theft, and a pandemic shutdown. But instead of giving up, she pivoted—again and again—and found her next calling in public relations.
In this episode, Larissa shares:
- How she went from publicist to wedding planner (and back again)
- What a “self-liquidating offer” is—and how it saved her business in 2020
- The hard lessons behind selling a business, losing six figures, and rebuilding from scratch
- Why it’s never too early (or too late) to pitch yourself to the media
- The connection between horseback riding and entrepreneurship (yep, really!)
This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought, “I can’t start over again.” You’re not starting over—you’re building on everything you’ve learned.
