How to Create a Culture of Rapid Personal Growth with Tom Bilyeu (pt. 2)

In Episode 2, our conversation with Quest Nutrition president and co-founder Tom Bilyeu continues. 

In part 2 of our conversation, Tom mentioned a few things that surprised us. 

For starters, he explains that if you’re an employee at Quest Nutrition, he’s not just there to give you the support you need to achieve your goals and grow as a professional. Likewise, his mission isn’t just to provide consumers with nutritious, healthy snacks that taste great while improving your overall metabolic health. 

Ahead of all these things, Tom sees it as his job to do one thing and one thing only —

To free you from the Matrix. 

We were intrigued, and had to know more. His explanation revealed more than we expected, including the development of Quest Nutrition’s 25 bullet mission statement, and why he’s ok with Quest serving as an incubator for human talent. 

In this episode, we also debut our rapid-fire “Minute of Magic”segment, in which we challenge Tom to answer a series of questions in quick succession. 

So take the red pill with Tom, and see how far this rabbit hole goes…
