At its best, business ownership can be a dream, but at its worst, it can feel like a nightmare. In this episode, Alex talks with two wildly successful business owners, Bryan and Shannon Miles, about the lessons they’ve learned about healthy, lifegiving business ownership. Bryan and Shannon are co-founders of the virtual staffing company Belay and serial business owners who are now launching a new nonprofit to help business owners experience personal and professional growth. In this episode, they talk about casting and refining a vision, staying in alignment while working together, embracing expansion, and much more.
