From Solopreneur to CEO: Scaling Beyond Yourself
When you're building a business, there comes a point where working harder isn't enough. Growth requires a different mindset, stronger systems, and the willingness to seek outside perspective. I'm excited to sit down with George Laws Garcia, a public policy strategist, entrepreneur, and Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Statehood Council. George's career has spanned advising governors, members of Congress, federal agencies, private companies, and nonprofit organizations on issues ranging from economic development and technology to national security and disaster recovery. Along the way, George learned an important lesson: the skills that help you succeed as a solo operator aren't always the skills that help you scale. In our conversation, we'll discuss his journey from solopreneur to organizational leader, what prompted him to join Vistage, and how surrounding himself with fellow growth-minded executives helped him think differently about leadership, strategy, and building a business that's bigger than any one person. Whether you're leading a growing company, navigating your next phase of growth, or wondering how to break through your own leadership ceiling, I think you'll find George's insights both practical and inspiring.
