BRYAN & SHANNON MILES: Leading Through Change and Loneliness

Entrepreneurship promises freedom—but it also comes with a unique set of challenges that many don’t talk about. In this episode, The Double Win Show welcomes Bryan and Shannon Miles, co-founders of Belay and the nonprofit O’nr, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving business without losing yourself in the process.

From hiring their first virtual assistant in 2011 (who later became CEO!) to navigating the emotional weight of selling a business, Bryan and Shannon share their hard-won lessons on leadership, transitions, and making decisions that align with your values.

Memorable Quotes

“Here’s the magic phrase: ‘In order to be faithful to my existing commitments, I have to say no.’”
“I am responsible for myself and my leadership. And I know that if I extend myself too far, I’m not the best version of who I want to be.”
“If I’m saying yes to everything and I’m overcommitting and my schedule is absolutely full, there’s no space for creativity. There’s no space for dreaming. There’s no space for new ideas or realizations.”
“A lot of business owners are lonely, actually isolated.”
“As leaders, part of our job is just kind of to help people settle and know they’re safe.”
“Stewardship is just simply managing something for a season of time… While we’re there with our employees and leaders, we’re stewarding our relationships with them.”

Key Takeaways
