What if doing less made you a better leader?
In this episode of Just Some BS, Whitney Hahn (Founder of Provoke Better) joins Brandon to challenge everything you’ve been told about hustle, delegation, and what it really means to lead a growing company. From growing up inside a literal zoo (yes, with cobras and arctic foxes) to helping scale companies from 10 to 50+ employees, Whitney brings bold, BS-free insights that every founder, CEO, and operator needs to hear.
🧨 We unpack:
- Why “doing too much means leading too little”
- How founders become their company’s bottleneck
- What “useful ignorance” actually looks like in executive leadership
- Why radical candor and clear dashboards are non-negotiables
- How to delegate with confidence and results
- The “Got No Time for BS” toolkit for reclaiming your week
- Why vacation isn't a luxury—it's a leadership strategy
This one’s packed with humor, practical tools, real talk on burnout, and a new way to lead without losing yourself.
