EP4: Lisa Bilyeu

Over the Wall with Rob LoCascio

My latest guest on Over the Wall is an incredible entrepreneur, podcast host, speaker, and co-founder, Lisa Bilyeu. You might know Lisa as the partner and wife of Tom Bilyeu, who, alongside, she eventually founded and sold health bar company Quest Nutrition for a cool billion dollars in 2019. Lisa’s journey took her from growing up in a conservative Greek family in London to eventually meeting Tom and relocating to Los Angeles when Tom was struggling to build his career in tech. Lisa went from a stay-at-home wife married to a high-functioning entrepreneur to eventually joining Tom in his career pivot, which led them to founding Quest and building it into a billion-dollar success. In the episode, Lisa talks about some of the pressures and emotional difficulties of building a massive business with your significant other, how to navigate personal and professional tension, the troubles and triumphs of building Quest, as well as her experiences (and challenges) being a female entrepreneur.
