Building an intentional life and business aligned with your faith, passions, and goals

Imagine working only two days a week and still making enough money to support your family and all the passions God’s put on your heart.

For my guest Shay Cochrane, that’s her reality. She’s built a multimillion-dollar business called Social Squares that powerhouse brands and thousands of others (including Faith & Gather) use while only working 16 hours a week.

But if you think this episode is about making money in as little time as possible, it’s not. While that indeed is impressive, I find it more impressive how Shay and her husband Graham have let God lead the way in each of their businesses and how they’ve been incredibly intentional about the life God has given them. 

So listen in as Shay, and I chat about how she and her family have built an intentional life, how their businesses support that, and not the other way around, the 80/20 rule they use in business and life, and how she uses her platform to share her faith and the love of Jesus. 

About Shay Cochrane

As a commercial photographer and product stylist, Shay’s clients spanned the globe (brands like Sugarfina, Pure Fiji, Truffle bags, and Simplified Planner, to name a few), but powerhouse brands like Jenna Kutcher and thousands of others love her Social Squares Membership where she puts her years of work as a commercial stylist and photographer into a highly curated stock image and video membership that supplies elevated visuals for female-owned online brands. Her vision is to enable more women to find greater success sharing their ideas and businesses with the world, and she manages to do this in just a 16-hour workweek! She has been married for 17 years to her fellow entrepreneur husband, Graham Cochrane, and they call sunny Tampa, Florida home, along with their two daughters.
