If you've been white-knuckling your business outcomes, this episode will either deeply unsettle you — or finally set you free.
Shay unpacks what Scripture actually says about who controls outcomes in business, and why your strategy, effort, and budget can only take you so far. She shares her own story of a business pivot that could only have been God, and walks through three countercultural business strategies for building with open hands.
This is the episode for the woman who's exhausted from trying to engineer results — and ready to build a different way.
If this hit home, send it to one entrepreneur who needs permission to loosen her grip.
