In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Esther Graham sits down with entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, and founder of Limitless Women, Laura Gisborne, for a powerful discussion about faith, leadership, legacy, and living a life by design. Together, they explore what it takes to move beyond simply building a successful business to creating a life that is aligned with your values, your calling, and your God-given purpose. Laura shares the deeply personal experiences that shaped her journey—from overcoming childhood trauma to building multiple successful businesses while making service and philanthropy central to everything she does. Along the way, she offers practical wisdom for entrepreneurs who want to stop surviving, start thriving, and build businesses that support their lives rather than consume them. Dr. Esther and Laura also reflect on their shared experiences serving with Girl Up Uganda, the transformational lessons they've learned from young leaders around the world, and why true leadership begins with humility, generosity, and a willingness to continually grow.

Because when your life is built on purpose, your legacy has no limits.
