Entrepreneurship means spending a lot of time building for the future, but it’s important to actually stop and enjoy the present every once in a while.

A Bills game, a family day, and a win is a pretty good way to do exactly that.

Your business matters, but so do the people you’re building your life alongside.

Throwing it back to one of our conversations from January 2025 with Stephanie Skryzowski, founder and CEO of 100 Degrees Consulting.

One of the biggest ideas Stephanie brought to the conversation was that doing good and building a prosperous life don't have to be competing goals.

As the founder of a company that helps nonprofits understand their numbers, make smarter financial decisions, and grow their impact, Stephanie has built her career around that idea.

We talked about money, purpose, financial clarity, entrepreneurship, and what it actually looks like to build a business around something you care deeply about.

Stephanie is also the author of the upcoming book Do Good and Prosper, where she digs even deeper into the idea that purpose and prosperity can exist in the same life.

Missed this one the first time around? It's worth going back to.

🎙️ Give the episode a listen and let us know what takeaway stuck with you.
