Slow growth may not look flashy, but it creates deep roots that can weather any storm. Through the wisdom of 1 Corinthians 14:40, Psalm 46:10, Proverbs 29:18, and more, Greg emphasizes the importance of precision, quiet discipline, and unseen efforts that produce unshakable leaders.

If you’re ready to slow down, dig deep, and strengthen the foundation of your business and life—this one’s for you. 🌱⛏️📖 00:00:00 Intro 00:08:10 Slow Growth.
