Episode description

This MTM Minute is powered by Dinner with Darnyelle

The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.

"Sometimes God will cut back what you think is working—just to make sure you're building on purpose and not performance."

What if the losses in your business were really divine instructions? In this week’s full-length episode of the Move to Millions Podcast, Pruning Season with Marquel Russell, Marquel joins Dr. Darnyelle for a conversation about the power of surrender, pruning, and spiritual obedience in business. This is not your typical seven-figure success story—it’s raw, revelatory, and real. Marquel breaks down how letting go of what was “working” made space for what was meant, and how pruning back to alignment allowed his company to grow deeper roots and stronger fruit. If you’ve been feeling like things are falling apart, this episode will show you that you’re not being punished—you’re being positioned. There’s no growth without pruning, and no legacy without letting go.

This episode will challenge how you view success by inviting you to embrace your pruning season with faith, obedience, and boldness. It will inspire you to stop holding onto what no longer serves your next level and trust the divine timing of refinement. If you're ready to grow from the inside out, this episode is your permission slip to release, realign, and rise.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for pruning seasons—those sacred moments when You cut back what’s overgrown so that what You planted in us can flourish. Give us the wisdom to release what’s expired and the faith to trust that even in loss, You are multiplying our legacy. May we not resist the cuts but embrace the clarity, growth, and purpose they bring. Let this be the season we stop chasing what looks fruitful and align with what is. Help us prune with intention so we can prosper with power.

In Your name, I pray. And So it Is. Amen.

"Next Level Everything indeed!"

I was locked in while listening to Carl Gould and Darnyelle's Episode 61 on "Eliminating the Competition". I liked when Carl expressed he will stand out by being more expensive than his competitors, and expertise is expertise; time doesn't matter. Darnyelle kept the interview exciting with amazing questions. Keep up the great work. Can't stop, won't stop like Diddy. Next Level Everything indeed!
