For eight years, Lisa Bilyeu lived the life others expected: a traditional Greek wife focused on supporting her husband and running the home. But deep down, she knew she was meant for more. With no business background, zero confidence, and no clear roadmap, she decided to rewrite her story. She co-founded Quest Nutrition with her husband and built a billion-dollar business. In this LEAP Replay, Lisa opens up to Ilana about breaking free from cultural expectations, showing up authentically in the face of criticism, and how you can build radical confidence without needing external validation.
