MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to empower people to live wild and free — like a Lion. We want to see people living to their full potential, using self awareness and compassion to move onward and forward, through their personal doubts and fears, so they may pursue their wildest dreams. We seek to create equal access to all LAL resources — with ethical working opportunities for creators, high quality coaching and client relationships, and rooted storytelling from Lions around the world — where each person is thriving, creating an international community of Lions living wild and free.
Live As Lions is run by an international family of dreamers: The Mannchens!

OUR FAMILY
HISTORY
Founded in 2008, musical group Liz and the Lions began using music to narrate tales of people, places, life lessons, experiences, and adventures. Eventually feeling dissatisfied, Liz and the Lions could sense greater potential and became determined to find a way to elevate the band's message of empowerment to an even more wild and free reality.
Fueled by the purpose of empowering people, Liz and the Lions toured in over 20 countries. While championing fans, the band also used their music to promote social change, sustainability and more, all on behalf of projects in developing countries, to help lift people out of poverty.
​
Seeing the global effects of this message, Liz and the Lions still believed their music could achieve so much more. So, in 2021, the goals of Liz and the Lions expanded into the brand Live as Lions.
Now, with purposeful products, music, life coaching, thought-provoking podcasts, and transformative events, Live as Lions is passionate about empowering you to live your most wild and free life.
