Collins on Faith, Entrepreneurship, and Single Motherhood Ep. 11","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4187,"description":"What does it look like to build a life, a family, a ministry, and multiple businesses through obedience?\nIn Episode 11 of STL Hustle Insider, Cortez Hustle sits down with Pastor Cortaiga S. Collins for a conversation about Kingdom Business, single motherhood, faith, entrepreneurship, childcare, nonprofit work, real estate, adult daycare, laundromat ownership, church leadership, and turning pain into purpose.\nCortaiga shares how her life experiences pushed her into entrepreneurship even though she never set out to become an entrepreneur. From becoming a mother while still in school, receiving support from educators and family, attending UMSL on scholarship, working in government and local media, and later moving back home with two children, her story shows how preparation, obedience, and action can open doors.\nThe heart of the conversation is Cortaiga’s belief that God can use one act of obedience to shift an entire life. Her first major entrepreneurial step came when she could not find quality early childhood care for her son. After fasting and praying, she heard three words that changed her life: “open your own.” That decision eventually led to Good Shepherd Early Learning Center, the Foundation for Strengthening Families, Collins Properties, So Clean Laundromat, adult daycare, becoming a best-selling author, and founding The Unconventional Church.\nThis episode is for entrepreneurs, parents, single mothers, ministry leaders, business owners, believers, and anyone trying to understand how faith, systems, teams, service, and integrity can work together.\nCortaiga S.
