Over the Wall with Rob LoCascio

On this week's episode, I bring you part one of my conversation with my dear friend, actor Edward Norton. Edward comes from a long line of entrepreneurs, and the vigor and tenacity with which he attacks every new project in his life reflects that. We discussed being raised in an entrepreneurial household, the importance of defining what it means to fail, and how disappointment has affected his career and life path. 

Make sure to tune back in for part two next Monday! New episodes are released weekly on Monday mornings.

This week, please welcome to the show a personal friend of mine and legendary entrepreneur and founder, Doug Evans. Doug and I went deep on this episode into some of the tougher topics around leadership - things like admitting when something isn't working, finding purpose, making sacrifices in our personal lives, and how being an entrepreneur can be a selfish act. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. There is a lot of wisdom in this one.

This week, I'm joined by renowned neuropsychologist Dr. Frank Maurio. I found my way into Dr. Maurio's office at one of the most challenging points of my life. I was lost and unsure of where to go next or what to do. The advice and guidance he gave me resonated with me so much, and the lessons he taught me I have used every year since in so many of the decisions I make, especially as it pertained to starting LivePerson. He is full of wisdom and I'm very excited to have him on Over the Wall today.

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.

Leave it to a world-renowned music producer and songwriter who’s worked with everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Shania Twain to understand what inspires people to be their most creative—and create something incredible. My friend Ron Aniello joined me on Over the Wall from the studio in New Jersey for an inspiring conversation about how to surround yourself with talented people who can boost your creative process and set you off towards success. There’s tons of helpful knowledge in this one for anyone experiencing creative frustration, self-doubt, or issues answering the call of their own curiosity.

For part two of Over the Wall with Deepak Chopra, we hear from the iconic doctor  about some of his tips for finding your true purpose, navigating creative breakthroughs, the basics of meditation, and how all of these teachings can serve you in fulfilling your greatest dreams and visions. Deepak also shares more about how to cope with anxiety in your life and entrepreneurial career, and the key to trusting your gut feelings when facing difficult situations.

For the second episode of Over the Wall, I'm honored to welcome Deepak Chopra. In part one of the episode, Deepak focuses on one of the many difficulties that plague entrepreneurs: getting unstuck. Deepak also explains how “reflective inquiry,” the concept of asking yourself purposeful questions, can help you gain more control of some of the unpleasant emotions. In closing, Deepak shares his “happiness formula,” and how to use this mental exercise as an entrepreneur.

In November of 2020, the world of entrepreneurship lost an incredible leader and business icon with Tony’s Hsieh’s tragic passing. I was lucky enough to have spent time with Tony over the years and always looked up to him as someone who reinvented customer service while creating a culture-first company at Zappos and community built on passion and the quest for providing happiness. For the first episode of Over the Wall, I had the honor of being joined by Alfred Lin & Fred Mossler, two of Tony’s best friends and early Zappos executives, for an intimate and insightful conversation about Tony's core values, early challenges and inspirations, his unique leadership style, and how he took Zappos to unimaginable heights by attention to persistence and partnership in the face of challenges.

Rob LoCascio invented webchat for companies. He founded a billion dollar company and has been on the entrepreneurial journey for 25 years. Along the way, Rob had to take risks and make mistakes; his journey to success was not a clear path. In this show, Rob shares his journey, invites industry titans to discuss their biggest mistakes and lessons learned, and helps real entrepreneurs work through challenges big and small.
