There is a moment in this conversation when Cheryl Hunter looks back at who she was at 30 and admits that she was moving so fast she was essentially telling God, “Come on, God, catch up.”Years later, she sees that season differently.Cheryl has built businesses, raised a family, experienced deep loss, given generously, invested wisely, and spent decades learning what really deserves her attention. When asked what she would tell her younger self now, she does not talk about working harder or achieving more. She talks about surrender, spending more time with God, paying attention to home and family, and giving herself more grace.That perspective shapes the rest of this conversation.We talk about what it actually means to finish well, why experience becomes something we are responsible to pass on, and why Cheryl now finds so much joy in simply sitting with people, listening to their stories, and walking with them through difficult seasons.She also shares how her thinking about money and stewardship has changed over the years, why she has intentionally simplified parts of her financial life, and how she is teaching her children and grandchildren the lessons she learned growing up on a farm in Minnesota.There is also the remarkable story of her son Zach, whom Cheryl adopted when he was 25 after he had already become part of their family in almost every other way. It is one of those stories that says a lot about the kind of life Cheryl has chosen to live.This conversation is ultimately about what happens when success stops being measured only by what you can build and starts being measured by what you can give away, what you can pass down, and who you can help along the way.If you are thinking about leadership, faith, family, money, legacy, or simply how you want to live the next season of your life, this is a conversation worth sitting with.Subscribe to The 100x Podcast for more conversations about faith, leadership, generosity, business, and living with purpose.
