In this episode of the No Half Cakes Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa Rizzo, a dynamic entrepreneur who has carved out a niche in the mindset and self-talk space. From humble beginnings, Lisa transformed her challenging upbringing into a story of resilience and accomplishment. She shared her journey from shoveling driveways as a kid to founding Limitless Slides, a footwear company innovatively featuring interchangeable words of affirmation.
Lisa’s VBS system, which stands for Visualization, Body Language, and Self-Talk, was a major focus of our conversation. This method advocates for the power of visualization, positive self-talk, and confident body language in transforming one’s self-perception and performance. Lisa emphasized the importance of these practices in not just athletic performance but everyday life, citing her own childhood experiences as the foundation for these principles.
We delved into the significance of body language and how it reflects and influences inner self-talk. Lisa highlighted practical tips such as maintaining a confident posture and making eye contact to shift one’s mindset instantly. She also advocated giving oneself grace to manage negative thoughts and doubts, suggesting practical routines like morning gratitude and visualization exercises to maintain a positive outlook.
Lisa’s story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and authenticity. She shared personal anecdotes, including moments of professional setbacks and triumphs, which humanize the otherwise glamorized entrepreneurial journey. Her mission transcends beyond selling footwear; it’s about creating a positive movement and inspiring others to embrace their limitless potential.
As we wrapped up, Lisa stressed the importance of finding stories of relatable founders to draw inspiration and understanding that setbacks are part of the journey.

This episode is a compelling reminder of the difference mindset can make and the importance of staying authentic and resilient in the face of challenges.
