Welcome back to The Mind of George Show! This week, we’re diving into a profound and transformative episode with my dear friend, Steven Pemberton. Originally aired on his podcast, Voice Like A Lion, this conversation is filled with raw insights, powerful mindset shifts, and reflections on faith, business, and life.

We explore how adversity can serve as life’s greatest teacher and how shifting your perspective transforms obstacles into opportunities.

Steven Pemberton left his corporate job in 2020, feeling called to something greater. Alongside his wife, he built two 7-figure e-commerce businesses generating over $4 million in sales. Today, Steven runs Elevatum, a consultancy helping brands scale holistically from $5M to $25M. He also hosts Voice Like A Lion Podcast, where he discusses faith, business, and the importance of living with purpose.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Power of Perspective: Change how you view challenges—they’re opportunities for growth.
• Faith Over Fear: Building purpose through faith leads to true fulfillment.
• Grace Changes Everything: Extend grace to deepen relationships and foster growth.
• Obedience Unlocks Blessings: Trust God’s plan, even when it doesn’t make sense.
• Strength Through Struggles: Adversity shapes your character and resilience.

If you’re looking for inspiration, truth, and tangible ways to lead a life aligned with purpose, this episode is for you. Let’s continue the conversation—message me on Instagram @itsgeorgebryant! And follow Steve on Instagram and take a look at his website.
