In this special edition of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley sits down with longtime friend, entrepreneur, speaker, and business coach Mary Foley to explore a side of business that doesn't always get talked about: the spiritual journey of entrepreneurship. Drawing from her experience in corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, professional speaking, and coaching, Mary shares how building a business can reveal who you are, challenge what you believe, and force you to confront fear, resistance, discipline, and purpose. From doing the revenue-generating work you may want to avoid to navigating difficult seasons and questioning whether you're still on the right path, Cory and Mary discuss why growing a business often requires just as much internal growth as it does strategy. Whether you're an entrepreneur, small business owner, leader, or someone navigating a challenging season in business, this conversation offers a different perspective on what it really takes to keep moving forward. Inside this episode: Why entrepreneurship can be a spiritual journey The importance of aligning your business with purpose Why building a business can reveal and strengthen your character How fear and resistance can hold entrepreneurs back Why difficult seasons don't always mean it's time to quit The importance of understanding your deeper "why" Why revenue-generating activities have to remain a priority How accountability helps turn intentions into action Why CEOs still need to think like salespeople The role perseverance plays in long-term business growth Why entrepreneurship isn't necessarily the right path for everyone  How business challenges can develop courage, discipline, humility, patience, faith, and gratitude
