Running Your Own Race with Special Guest Dana Gentry

Listen Later

In this powerful and personal conversation, Anna sits down with her colleague and friend Dana Gentry to explore what it really means to grow with intention — in business, leadership, faith, and life.

Dana shares her 20-year journey in real estate and leadership, revealing the pivotal moments that taught her growth isn’t just about scale or success, but about alignment. Together, Anna and Dana unpack the cost of burnout, the danger of comparison, and the freedom that comes from learning to run your own race.

This episode dives deep into intentional leadership, stewarding people well, setting boundaries with your time, and why restoration — not hustle — is often the next level of growth. Dana also opens up about the defining moment that inspired her new book RESTORE, and why living intentionally can transform not just your work, but your entire life.

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but disconnected on the inside, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
