Beautiful Lives Boutique - Interview with Executive Director Jessica Uranga

Do you ever wonder if redemptive business is even possible? Has anyone actually done this?

Beautiful Lives Boutique is a true case study in how you can impact a community and advance the Kingdom and make a real profit as a company!

Executive director, Jessica Uranga, shares an in-depth look into this transformational organization and details their impact and model. You will be incredibly encouraged by this interview and inspired in your journey to recover the dignity and mission of your vocation.

I find this organization to be a rare example of a high functioning, profitable company that is intentionally built to advance the Kingdom of God. They are a great example of successful Business on Mission and are built from the ground up as a great commission company.

I always want to highlight how On Mission vocation is possible. People are actually doing it. Both in a corporate sense and on a personal level. It is important that we see this as do-able and that practical, profitable and purposeful business is a reality.

Highlights:

• What it takes to run a redemptive enterprise
