Description
Originally aired: March 2021
Episode Number: 77
What happens when 17 years of Buddhist study meets the chaos and creativity of entrepreneurship?
In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, Founder and CEO of The Growth Impact Group Kate Gray shares how the two paths that once seemed in conflict—spiritual practice and business—became the same journey of awakening. She opens up about the tension between being a Buddhist and a business owner, how her entrepreneurial work became her greatest teacher, and the moment a Zen parable completely shifted her perspective on what it means to live a "spiritual" life.
From running seven-figure plant medicine retreats to learning that true enlightenment might just mean being a "normal person," she reveals how surrender, mindset, and authenticity turned ambition into a form of meditation—and business into a path to presence.
