The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode. Hey everybody welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of

God and the good of others.

Every week I host a conversation with a Christian who's pursuing world-class mastery of

their vocation. We talk about their path to mastery, their daily habits, and how their faith influences their work.

Today's guest is none other than Emily Lay

if that name sounds familiar to you it's because I've written about her

quite a bit in my last book master of one Emily of course is the founder of

simplified a booming business that produces

organizational tools for busy women. She's an exceptional entrepreneur that I've

respected for a really long time.

So we recently sat down, we talked about why she volunteered to cut 40% of her revenue.

We talked about one of my favorite topics, the magic of batching and specifically batch planning with her team twice a year.

And we talked about why Christ followers should be the boldest people on the planet. I think you're

going to love this conversation with Emily Leff.

Hey Emily, thank you so much for being here.

Hi, thank you for having me.

Yeah, this would be fun.

I've been looking forward to this for a while.

Me too.
