DeepSummary
In this episode of the Do The Work podcast, host Sabrina Zohar interviews Lisa Bilyeu, the co-founder of Quest Nutrition and author of 'Radical Confidence.' Lisa shares her personal journey of overcoming societal expectations and finding her true self after years of living a life that didn't suit her. She emphasizes the importance of taking action and not waiting for confidence to come first, as confidence is a byproduct of action.
Lisa discusses how she was conditioned to believe that her purpose in life was to be a housewife and support her husband, but after years of feeling unfulfilled, she recognized the need to make a change. She and her husband decided to start a protein bar company, Quest Nutrition, which grew exponentially and allowed her to find her passion.
Throughout the conversation, Lisa and Sabrina explore the concept of building confidence, validating one's own experiences, and setting boundaries in relationships. They emphasize the importance of self-worth, communication, and not compromising one's values for the sake of pleasing others.
