Many business owners dream of the day their company runs smoothly without them being involved in every decision - but too often, that day never seems to come.
In this episode, I’m unpacking the four biggest reasons why your business still needs you when it really shouldn’t. From unclear roles to missing systems, these hidden traps keep founders stuck in “babysitter mode,” no matter how many team members they hire.
If you’ve ever wondered why your business can’t quite function without your constant oversight, this conversation will help you identify what’s missing and where to focus next.
Inside this episode:
✨ The four reasons your business is still overly dependent on you
✨ Why hiring alone doesn’t solve the “founder bottleneck” problem
✨ How role clarity and structure free you from daily operations
✨ The leadership rhythms every CEO needs to keep their team on track
✨ An invitation to my upcoming workshop to help you implement these shifts in real time
Stepping into your true CEO role is not just possible - it’s necessary. Let’s break the cycle together so your business can finally grow beyond you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
