Bissell's family has been in real estate for more than 50 years, and she was a broker in Illinois in her father's office immediately after college. However, she transitioned to other areas of interest which she pursued for many years. Bissell has produced over 250 nationally-syndicated, golf television programs as well as a dozen high goal polo matches.

She was also instrumental in the company's national branding program. Bissell has written three books, Fred Couples: Golf’s Reluctant Superstar and Venus on The Fairway (co-authored with former LPGA player Debbie Meisterlin Keller) and Championship Swimming, (co-authored with Olympian Tracey McFarlane Mirande).
