KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Faith and entrepreneurship are intertwined. Faith is about belief, conviction, assurance, and creation. It is a foundational force for entrepreneurs, helping them navigate uncertainty and materialize their purpose-driven ventures.
• Faith and hustle can coexist. The episode challenges the idea that entrepreneurship is solely about grinding and hustling. Instead, faith provides direction and purpose, ensuring that actions align with a greater mission rather than just relentless effort without meaning.
• Faith acts as a lens that clarifies an entrepreneur’s journey and purpose-driven work. It helps them stay focused on their purpose, use resources wisely, and find assurance in their path rather than being consumed by the hustle culture.
