Whether everything we thought we wanted is still worth pursuing. And that's why today's guest, Jenn Lim brings the thinking and lessons we need to hear.

Growing up, Lisa was told that she would be nothing more than a housewife - which drove her crazy because she had bigger plans than that. Leaving the UK for Hollywood with the dream of making movies, she was surprised to find herself spending most of her 20's "stuck" at home...as a housewife. Unhappy, her turning point came when she finally admitted to her husband she couldn't carry on. That moment kicked off the build of Quest Nutrition with her partners, which they turned into a billion-dollar company.
