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.
