Lisa Bilyeu is cofounder of the billion-dollar company Quest Nutrition and cofounder and
President of Impact Theory. She is also the host of Women of Impact, a show featuring women who have overcome incredible hardship to achieve massive success. Her mission is to empower all women to become the heroes of their own lives.
These are impressive credentials, but especially so considering how this all came about. Growing up in London, her conservative Greek culture dictated that her natural course was to become a stay-at-home wife and mother. Driven to prove everybody wrong, she worked hard to earn a degree in a subject she loved - film, then headed to Los Angeles to make her filmmaking dream come true.
That was the plan... In LA, Lisa met the man of her dreams. But then she climbed
onto the hamster wheel of supporting her husband and 'keeping house,
and as she says: "When that wheel started to squeak with the sound of my dying dreams, I just drowned it out. Instead of facing my feelings, I tried to distract myself from them - for eight years!"
Today we talk about how she learned to build what she calls: Radical Confidence; learning to run towards a life that you love. Lisa went from a housewife with no prior business experience to cofounder of a billion-dollar company, and now she is a warm, positive voice in the personal development world. So, how did she do it? Lisa says: "I did it by making over my mindset. I acknowledged my doubts, my insecurities, my fear of embarrassment and my guilt for wanting more than what I already had - and let all those negative things become my fuel for creating the change I needed."
In our conversation, Lisa talks about the struggle to move from being a "good Greek daughter" to an INRCEDIBLE Greek daughter! We talk about how she taught herself to change the way she looked at things -in other words, to Think Differently about them. She shares how she went against cultural expectations, navigated family pressure, and eventually went on to become the hero of her own life.
Lisa is a pocket rocket who takes no prisoners - she doesn't have to, once you've listened to this, you'll be willingly captivated by her!
