After 15 years working with e-commerce brands, product-based businesses, and Christian authors, Courtney Cook knows that the most valuable conversations aren't about how someone built their empire five years ago. They're about what founders are wrestling with right now.

In this trailer episode, Courtney introduces The Entrepreneurs Blueprint, a podcast designed for Christian business owners who are in the thick of it. This isn't about polished case studies or highlight reels. It's about the operational challenges keeping you up at night, the strategic decisions you're trying to make, and what you're talking to God about as you navigate it all.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

The podcast focuses on real operational and leadership challenges that Christian business owners are navigating today, including:

• Team structure and when to hire

• Inventory planning and product development workflows

• KPIs that guide decisions instead of creating stress

• Launch strategies that work for your actual capacity

• Operations that scale without burning you out

In this episode of The Entrepreneur’s Blueprint, Courtney sits down with Mandy Morris, LPC — a licensed therapist, executive psychology coach, and co-founder of SoFree, a neuroscience-based app designed to help users reset their nervous system in under two minutes.

Mandy shares how her work as a trauma therapist led her into the executive space, helping high-achieving leaders uncover their blind spots, overcome internal blocks, and align their inner and outer worlds. Her journey from running a private practice to building a mental health tech startup is both deeply personal and inspiring — sparked by the loss of her brother and her desire to make stress relief more accessible to everyone.

She also opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship — the uncertainty, self-doubt, and resilience required to keep going year after year. From learning to reframe fear into adventure, to the power of consistency and community support, Mandy’s wisdom is a reminder that emotional and mental health are not just personal pursuits — they’re business strategies.
