Podcasts about Lizanne Falsetto

Lizanne Falsetto is the CEO, Founder, and Chairman of betterland foods™, and the founder of thinkThin®.  Long before she became an entrepreneur, Lizanne Falsetto had a career as a model. She developed food for herself on the job, and quickly discovered that her peers were interested in what she was making. She went on to create thinkThin®, the gluten-free protein bars you've seen on the shelves of grocery stores since the 90s. She sold that company a few years ago, and now she's building game-changing, cow-free dairy alternatives. Just as importantly, Lizanne's career has taken a series of unexpected twists and turns that are genuinely inspirational. She's been decorated with an impressive array of awards and accolades, and she is well-known for her philanthropy. I'm deeply honored to have her here.

Lizanne Falsetto is the Founder and CEO of Betterland Foods. Years before she became a world-renowned CEO, Lizanne Falsetto began her entrepreneurial journey at her kitchen table, inspired both by a family recipe and desire to solve a personal problem. On that table, the original thinkThin bar was created: a revolutionary bar that would become one of the most sought-after health foods on the market. Lizanne is a prescient food pioneer and protein expert who understood the benefits of a high-protein, low-sugar lifestyle 20 years before the widespread adoption of the ketogenic diet. As thinkThin scaled to reach a global audience, Lizanne became the first in the industry to stamp “gluten-free” on product packaging, ultimately paving the way for an entirely new retail category on store shelves: the nutrition bar. Lizanne's original instinct for a clear market opportunity in health food evolved into a 20-year tenure as CEO of one of the fastest-growing health food brands in history. thinkThin was acquired by Glanbia in late 2015. Lizanne founded Betterland Foods on the vision of a kinder, more sustainable food system. She and her team are committed to innovating in several categories to deliver the next evolution of accessible, clean, and protein-rich products that deliver superior taste and health while treading gently on our planet, creating a better food future for all. Lizanne is also an active member of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), a board member of the Global Health & Wellness Network, Mayo Clinic Champion, host of the Vitality podcast, and the 2021/2022 Chapter Chair of the Pacific Coast Gold Chapter.   This Episode is Sponsored By: With Masterclass, you can learn from the world's best minds, anytime, anywhere, at your own pace.

Today on the show we're learning from Lizanne Falsetto, the founder of thinkThin® and betterland foods™. Lizanne began her entrepreneurial journey at her kitchen table, inspired both by a family recipe and a strong desire to solve a personal problem. On that table, the original thinkThin® bar was created: a revolutionary product that would become one of the most sought-after health foods on the market. Her original instinct for a clear market opportunity in health food evolved into a 20-year tenure as founder and CEO of one of the fastest-growing health food brands in history and was eventually acquired for $217 m in 2015. In 2020, as the pandemic disrupted life the world over, she was intrigued by the influx of food scientists creating cleaner, alternative proteins without the direct use of animals. These discoveries rekindled her entrepreneurial verve and led her to establish betterland foods™, a new venture committed to creating crave-able, delicious foods that are better for people – and better for the planet. There are so many learnings and lessons woven into this episode and I'm just so excited to be able to share this inspiring conversation with you. We chat about the early days of building the brand when Lizanne was still modeling and would bring her home-creations to shoots to get feedback. How this natural desire led her to walk straight into the path of entrepreneurship, and how she learned what she was doing along the way. Setting up "Harvard for a day" chats with consultants, and just getting her product into as many hands as possible. How important it is to keep your messaging consistent. Especially when you have limited ways to get your voice out there, to stay consistent with your messaging. And my favorite tip of all, how important it is to have your own personal financial situation in check when you get into building a business and possibly raising capital. It's so important to understand this, in order to understand the ramifications down the line. We round off by chatting about her incredible exit selling thinkThin® for $217 million. And how important it is to be ready spiritually, mentally, and emotionally before selling your business. Now, let's get straight into it.

This week, Kalika looks back at her podcast with Lizanne Falsetto. Lizanne is the founder of ThinkThin, a brand that specializes in nutritional bars and snacks. During her long trips abroad as a model, Lizanne found herself cooking. She would cook old family recipes like brownies and cookies and share them with people on her trips. On one such occasion, Madonna happened to try one of her creations. Lizanne thought of her bars as something she just made in the kitchen, not realizing that Madonna would write about her bars in InStyle magazine, which kickstarted Lizanne’s journey. Listen in as she shares her incredible journey and how she ultimately sold thinkThin for over $200 million.

Lizanne Falsetto epitomizes today’s woman. She is a celebrated CEO & founder of thinkThin® ( the lifestyle brand she sold in late 2015), health and wellness visionary, retail trend spotter, sought-after business media commentator, and advisor to the next-generation of entrepreneurs. While a successful fashion model in the 1990s, she hungered for a protein-rich, high-energy on-the-go snack, that was low in sugar and gluten-free. thinkThin® was founded to address this market opportunity. Crafted by hand from a personal recipe, thinkThin® quickly scaled nationally and globally. What began as a clear market opportunity in health foods ended up as a 20-year tenure as CEO of one of the fastest-growing health food snacks in history. After thinkThin® was acquired in December of 2015, Lizanne began a new chapter as an advisor to CEOs and early stage entrepreneurs with clear track records in product design, market share capture, and revenue-relevant business leadership.    A natural explorer with an affinity for spotting retail trends long before they come into popularity, Lizanne started lizannefalsetto.com in 2018 as a wellness platform to share insights as she travels the world trying new and ancient foods, herbal remedies and products that are said to increase energy, stamina, and promote wellness & longevity.

Lizanne Falsetto, the founder of ThinkThin, talks about her new venture, LF Advisory, and the types of people she wants to work with.

Lizanne Falsetto launched her Think Thin empire in the mid 90s—based on a hunch: people wanted a high protein, low sugar energy bar that tasted great. Listen in on the story of how the former model and mom of two crafted a winning recipe in her own kitchen, learned to trust her instinct, and launched the company with her own money. And with the 2016 sale of Think Thin — for a reported 217 million dollars — hear how Lizanne is pivoting, once again.

Lizanne Falsetto ditched a college basketball scholarship for an international modeling career. While on the road, Lizanne found herself hungry but didn’t like the fast food options so she created her own high-protein, zero-sugar, food-on-the-go snack, what we now call the thinkThin® bar! It set a trend as the FIRST protein bar to be gluten-free. “The No. 1 thing that I would say to the women out there who want to learn about cash flow is to always keep your payables (what you have to pay) at least 20% lower than your receivables (the money coming in).” - Lizanne Falsetto.

Think Thin Protein Bar creator, Entrepeneur and multimillionaire Lizanne Falsetto stops by the podcast to tell us how a former model with no formal college eductaion started a business in her garage that would help revolutionize the fitness bar industry and put a cool $200-million in her pocket when she sold it.

  Last month Lizanne Falsetto, 52, sold her protein bar company, ThinkThin, for $217 million -- a huge triumph for this single mom without a college degree. In this Lizanne Falsetto interview, we dish about: Her darkest moment, while going through divorce, facing business bankruptcy when the Atkins craze tanked and her dad died -- and how she pushed through. Why this former model stayed in the background as she built  her empire. What her big, Italian family's food tradition taught her about business, family and life. What her panty color has to do with her professional and romantic success. How she balanced entrepreneurship with single motherhood on a daily basis. What she teaches her teenagers today about business and money. How she attracted the alpha male who is her long-time romantic partner. Why she describes herself as a "warrior woman."

The Making of the Woman and the thinkThin BrandComing from a big Italian family Lizanne Falsetto was a foodie from a young age. Influenced by her grandfather's kitchen garden and grandmother's cooking; good food, good health – it was instilled. Later, modeling internationally, Lizanne developed a better-for-you version of her grandmother's recipe as portable and delicious nutrition. This ultimately became the prototype for the thinkThin bar and the foundation of her second career. By the time she finished modeling and returned to the States, the mother of two followed her entrepreneurial instincts into the fast growing, competitive environment of nutrition bars. Over a decade later, Lizanne had built thinkThin from early relationships with Whole Foods Market and the natural channel, into mass grocery and club stores.

Few young women are offered the choice between a career in basketball or fashion. thinkThin® Founder & CEO Lizanne Falsetto chose fashion and embarked on a successful business chapter that took her to live and work in Japan, Paris, Milan, New York, Australia and Madrid. From both sports and fashion, she gained a deep knowledge and understanding of nutrition and its role in health. From her Italian grandparents, however, she developed a great respect and love for real food - freshly picked from the garden and brought to the table for nourishing conversation and warm family laughter. Balancing a career and motherhood led to the thinkThin® formula: simple, nutritious and delicious portable food. Frances You - For the women who crave a luxury slipper both elegant and comfortable - one that can be worn in the privacy of the bedroom or at a posh black-tie event - a new Los Angeles-based venture has fulfilled your wish. LMN (Luxe Me Now) is a newly launched collection of extraordinary slippers that are at once chic, feminine and versatile. With gorgeous fabrics and hand-sewn embellishments, LMN debuted its first collection this past Holiday season at Saks Fifth Avenue and will soon expand into other national retailers and regional boutiques. Gracing the pages of Angeleno, Luxury Las Vegas, Palm Springs Life and other lifestyle magazines, the brand begs the question, How can women be glamorous inside AND outside the bedroom? The answer: LMN-tray!
