What if building your business wasn’t about doing more, but about being more intentional with the people already around you?

In this episode of Employee to Boss, I’m joined by Faith Morris, an operations strategist and community builder who helps entrepreneurs scale sustainably by rethinking how they build teams, partnerships, and networks. We talk about her journey from employee to boss, rebuilding confidence after career rejection, and why intentional relationships, not more platforms, are often the missing piece in business growth.

Faith and I are both members of The Entreprenista League, a business and community membership where founders like you can access top-tier resources, media opportunities, and a community that will be there to support you as you grow your business.
