Episode 255 Recorded live over lunch at The Vault in Tulsa, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My guest is Jenny Guthrie, the founder of Glow Medical, and she came ready to talk about building a business, walking through a cancer diagnosis, and what her faith looked like when it was under severe strain. Jenny went from ICU nurse to nurse practitioner to a startup med spa where paychecks bounced and the clinic was evicted, and in a dark parking lot she vowed never again. That vow became Glow, started with five thousand dollars of her own money and built debt-free. Then she fired a long-time employee in October and found a lump in November. She walks us through the diagnosis, the surgeries, the months of recurring infections, the faith fatigue of never knowing when it would end, and the two verses, Hebrews 4:16 and Mark 9:24, that taught her about a God who runs to the battle. Lessons for every business owner: why thinking small derails a dream, how to handle betrayal and set boundaries, why a storehouse of money and people lets a company survive a crisis, why faith and doubt can live in the same heart, and why you will either take care of yourself now or be forced to later.
