Blake shares how his journey from missionary work to door-to-door sales eventually led him to a $6M+ business helping others scale, and why thinking better is more powerful than doing more.We also get personal about my own scaling vision, unpacking how real estate, impact, and podcasting intersect with my mission to serve aging-out foster youth.
