Ep. 102 | Redefine Failure and Unleash Your Impact with Lisa Bilyeu

Failure, purpose, growth. All of these are common speak these days, but how do we use them as leverage? How do we get to a place where our vision is so bold —even in the face of doubt, fear and others telling us it won't work? Enter Lisa Bilyeu —rockstar entrepreneur, founding member of Quest Nutrition and co-founder of Impact Theory.

As co-founder of Impact Theory, she’s looking to combine her highly developed skills as a creative producer with her drive to help people build things that matter. During this engaging and inspiring conversation, you’ll discover: Why success is an evolution and the power of growth Why stretching yourself is crucial to fulfillment The illusion of retirement and lacking purpose Breaking down the question of “no bullshit, what would it take?” Lisa’s transition from housewife to entrepreneur The power of trust and feedback in relationships How to navigate the stress of business and work Communicating a shared vision with your partner Navigating the early days of Quest Nutrition Why your vision shouldn’t make sense to others The power of thinking big and bold for yourself How to use regret as leverage to make big leaps How to re-frame failure and not make it about you Why placing your self esteem on a result is dangerous The real world stories of launching a startup dream How to know it's time for your transition to something new Launching Impact Theory and Women of Impact ...and so much more in an episode designed to challenge you to think bolder, bigger and with more purpose.   THE 1% RULE IS OUT!

Ep. 100 | Chase Your Dreams and Choose The Third Door Alex Banayan

Reality is negotiable. That’s what I got after reading the book from my latest guest — Alex Banayan. Alex is an entrepreneur, speaker and author of The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers. Here’s the premise of the book: There's the First Door: the main entrance, where 99 percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always . . . the Third Door. It's the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen--there's always a way. During this conversation, we explore his amazing quest to write the book, how anyone can live the philosophy, how to take bold action and some amazing lessons from the people he interviewed, including Bill Gates, Lady Gaga and more. We talk about being rejected, about the upside of being naive...and how to never give up! THE 1% RULE IS OUT!
