Bob & Gloria Gilstad: Turning Vision Into Legacy

Many couples dream of building something meaningful together. Bob and Gloria Gilstad have done just that, creating not only a thriving business but a lasting legacy.
Known affectionately across Vollara as the “Queen Bee,” Gloria helped introduce the Royal Formula Honey supplement and quickly became known for her warmth, drive, and leadership. But her story with Bob goes far beyond any single product. Their journey began during one of the toughest economic periods in modern American history. It was a challenging time, with soaring interest rates, rising prices, and limited job opportunities. Gloria, then working in real estate, was facing an uphill climb. An unexpected opportunity opened the door to a new career path that brought not only income but also purpose and the chance to build something meaningful together. Their people skills and relentless work ethic quickly set them apart.
A new chapter began when they met Joe Urso and were introduced to the revolutionary ActivePure® Technology. That connection guided them to Vollara, where they found a perfect fit for their passion and commitment to helping others succeed. For Gloria, it was more than a business opportunity; it was a chance to share a deeper vision for health and well-being.
“It’s often said, ‘We are what we eat,’” she says. “A deeper truth is,
‘We are what we absorb.’ Air, water, and nutrients shape our health, and how we absorb them matters. Vollara’s green technologies make it possible to purify the air we breathe, cleanse the surfaces we touch, enrich the water we drink, support our immune system, and strengthen our bodies through quality nutrition.”

Building a Brand at the State Fair
As part of their growing Vollara journey, Bob and Gloria turned their focus to connecting with people face to face and built a signature presence through live events, most notably their Minnesota State Fair booth, which has become legendary. Each year, their warm, first-class presentation draws massive crowds, creates meaningful conversations, and opens doors to life-changing opportunities. Their approach is a blueprint for success: preparation, passion, and presence.
A Business That Built a Life They Love
That same energy and dedication extended beyond the fairgrounds and into their daily lives. Bob and Gloria didn’t just build a business; they built a life of freedom, adventure, and purpose. Through their Vollara success, they’ve earned tax benefits, bonus cars, 14 cruises, and countless VIP incentive trips.

Their joy multiplied with the birth of their grandson James—a powerful reminder of the “why” behind their hard work. And fittingly, for a couple who first met in the middle of a lake while Gloria was in a boat and Bob was in a canoe, water remains a shared passion that reflects their balance of ambition and joy.

Their story is more than a record of achievement; it’s a living example of what’s possible when passion meets perseverance. They have built more than a business; they have built a community, a team, and a legacy that will inspire others for years to come.
Vollara proudly honors Bob and Gloria Gilstad in this Spotlight,
not just for their success but for the lives they’ve touched
and the example they continue to set.
