While there are many of us out there who are entrepreneurs, there are many that don’t understand our mentality. People tell us to take vacations, to hang out at parties, to travel the world – and all we can think about is when our prototype will be ready.

In this episode, Michael Dermer speaks to Liz Gaspari, former owner and vice president of Gaspari Nutrition. Known as the “Supplement Queen,” Liz built an international fitness empire selling nutritional supplements. Born to immigrant parents in a rural Pennsylvania town, Liz’s entrepreneurial spirit was apparent from an early age. Liz spent her childhood coming up with new business ideas, ranging from a pretzel pop-up on a New Jersey boardwalk to selling video games in front of her family’s chicken restaurant. If anyone understands the entrepreneurial struggle, it’s Liz. Building a multi-million dollar company while paving the way for women in the nutritional supplement industry is just a small portion of Liz’s story.

The definition of an entrepreneur depends on who you talk to. And so does being a leader. But regardless of the definition, there are two things that entrepreneurs must have - ego and humility. Successful entrepreneurs understand that you need a healthy dose of both - even though the dominance of one can often mean the downfall of a really great idea or team or vision.
