David Forster joins Craig Andrews to dismantle one of the most persistent myths in business: that people are the problem. With eight businesses under his belt, Forster explains why 94% of business issues stem from broken or missing processes—not bad hires. He shares how simplifying systems, building checklists, and offloading mental bandwidth into clear SOPs empowers teams to thrive.
Craig and David dive into leadership lessons learned the hard way—like when Forster realized his wife was miserable in a "successful" business, or when Craig’s team kept the company running while he lay in a coma. Forster explains how true leadership means letting go of control and creating scalable systems that free both the owner and the team.
He also breaks down why simplicity beats complexity, and how business owners can build a company that doesn’t rely on their daily involvement—creating optionality, not dependency.
