Episode No. 27 Hustle + Faith With Marlena Banks
“I never would've seen my purpose if I had not taken that first step.”
-Marlena Banks
Goal chasing ain't exactly for the faint at heart. You have to have some major grit, determination and a whole lot of faith to believe in those seemingly impossible God-sized goals. Don't believe me? Just ask today's guest Marlena Banks. She knows all about crazy hustle and big faith. She left her corporate job at an advertising agency to follow the nudges God placed on her heart to create. That one leap of faith changed the game for her big time! Now she is a creative director, designer and just recently she added author to her repertoire with her newly published book-- "*Big Idea Food: A Weekly Devotional For Entrepreneurs, Side Hustlers + Dreamers". Juggling all of those hats have not been easy for Marlena but with her know how stick-to-it-ness and insane faith she's been able to forge her own path and as a result create a platform for other faith-based entrepreneurs and creatives through her brand Big Idea Food. If you've been a little burned out and could use a little faith to reenergize your dream chase then today's episode is for you!
