Survival to Strategy: Building a Business That Lasts

Описание: In this episode of The Karas Wright Show, Karas sits down with Stephanie Gross, CEO & Founder of Bumby Wool, to explore what it really takes to build a sustainable business — and a fulfilling life — over the long haul.
Stephanie shares her 18-year journey from starting a business at her kitchen table to growing a thriving Alberta-based brand rooted in sustainability, intention, and purpose. Together, they unpack the realities of entrepreneurship: navigating pivots, building systems that work without burning out, and learning when to step back so your business can move forward.
This conversation dives into leadership, long-term vision, strategic planning, and why success isn’t just about growth — it’s about alignment. From surviving uncertainty to designing a business that supports your life (not consumes it), this episode offers real-world insight for founders, creatives, and business owners at any stage.

Whether you’re scaling a company, navigating change, or rethinking what success looks like, this episode will leave you inspired and grounded.
