William Bissett, founder of Portus Wealth Advisors, joins Craig Andrews to unpack what it really takes to lead a company that survives and thrives beyond its founder. William shares how watching his father struggle in solo practice shaped his commitment to team building. His insight is simple but powerful: don’t just hire talent—hire people who fill your gaps, not mirror them.
The episode cuts through leadership myths and focuses on what makes businesses last—trust, delegation, and the willingness to let go. William shares his approach to building high-performance teams using tools like the Culture Index, but emphasizes that real success comes from empowering people to grow—even if that means they eventually leave.
For William, leadership isn’t about control—it’s about legacy. That means creating wins for your people, investing in their growth, and building a culture that celebrates progress. It’s leadership with humility and a long view.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
