How Your Belief Systems Can Sabotage or Scale Your Business with Mark Collins

In this episode of The Rooted Founder, Staci Gray sits down with Mark Collins—a business coach, pastor, and author—for a down-to-earth conversation about one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face: understanding who you really are and why it matters for your business. Mark shares how self-doubt and feeling pulled in too many directions can cloud your sense of identity, making it harder to make decisions that align with your values. They discuss why it's so important to get clear on who you are as a person, not just as a business leader, and how that clarity can help you grow both personally and professionally. If you've ever felt like you're losing yourself in the grind of building a business or just want to find more purpose in your work and life, this episode is for you. It's an honest talk about getting past what holds you back and finding a stronger, more intentional identity.
