How Founders Become Their Own Bottleneck (Podcast Feature with Phil Masiello)

I recently joined Phil Masiello on the Crunching Your Growth podcast to talk about a challenge I see repeatedly with founder-led businesses: The founder becomes the bottleneck. After helping companies generate over $40M in revenue and guiding multiple successful exits, I’ve learned that growth isn’t about working harder—it’s about building systems that allow your business to grow without depending on you for everything. In this conversation, we discuss: Delegation without losing control Creating accountability across teams Using automation strategically Building operational freedom How founders can remove themselves from day-to-day bottlenecks A big thank you to Phil and the Crunching Your Growth team for having me on the show.
