In this episode of the Move to Millions Podcast, I sit down with Marquel Russell—client, friend, and million-dollar marketing genius—to unpack what it really takes to surrender your business to God's alignment without losing your mind… or your money. If you're tired of 18-hour days, being addicted to achievement, and secretly terrified that if you stop grinding, it will all fall apart—this episode is your mirror. Marquel pulls back the curtain on how he made the sacred shift to peace, purpose, and prosperity without having to hustle and sacrifice his family as he maintained and realigned his 7-figure business. We don’t talk hustle here; we talk harvest, and that starts with pruning. If you’re a Legacy Led CEO who’s ready to move from striving to stewarding, you don’t want to miss this episode. This is your invitation to rebuild your business from the inside out. Let Marquel’s story remind you that letting go of what no longer serves you is not failure, it’s faith. Tune in to discover how you, too, can shift from pushing to prospering and finally build the business God actually called you to lead.. Here’s the truth: Hustle is not holy. You can be anointed and addicted to achievement. You can be celebrated by the world and still out of alignment with your calling. Until you confront the parts of your business built in survival, your peace will always be optional. The pruning isn't punishment; it's preparation.

Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “At one point, I realized I had built a business I didn’t like anymore.” — Marquel Russell “I had to surrender the idol of productivity to finally find peace.” — Marquel Russell “You can build something big and still be out of alignment.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Just because it’s working doesn’t mean it’s aligned.” — Marquel Russell “I decided to trust God’s vision more than my own plan.” — Marquel Russell Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: What parts of my business are built on fear or ego, rather than faith? Am I still aligned with the original vision God gave me—or have I drifted into performance? What am I afraid will happen if I stop pushing so hard? Have I confused prosperity with productivity? Where is God asking me to prune so He can multiply?
