How Founders Focus on Sales in the Wrong Place (Rick Brown) | 387

You take the client call yourself. Your team could run it. You take it anyway, because that's the room where the win is yours. It feels great to nail it. Next time, they wait for you. Then the next decision waits for you, and the one after that. While the strategy sits where you left it. You keep falling behind. It's almost like we keep investing where we can see the win, not where it gets made. Rick Brown runs MarketStorm. When a buyer is still thinking over a new truck or a new roof, before they are actively searching, his clients are already there. His first client tested it with 2% of his marketing budget. In six weeks, 80% of that client's web traffic came through MarketStorm. Rick can see where the win gets made in a buyer's head. It's the same with the jump from founder to executive. Founders solve the problem, win the sale, and feel the win. Executives call the plays, their team gets the glory, and that's how the business wins. While we recorded, Rick's team took the client call without him. He's living that transition. The longer a founder holds on, the longer the company takes to scale. So where does your win get made now? ABOUT RICK BROWN Rick Brown is the co-founder and CEO of MarketStorm, where his clients reach buyers while they're still deciding. He spent about fifteen years in brand partnerships with the Oakland Raiders and the Maloofs. His first client grew from about $15 million to about $40 million in revenue with MarketStorm. He has turned down multiple private equity offers to keep building it. INSIDE THE EPISODE How to reach buyers before they pick, not at the "checkout" How Rick lost most clients in 90 days, then reached 100 Why founders can't let go, and the shift that makes it easier THIS EPISODE IS FOR Owners and execs who answer for the ad budget Founders who still take the client call their team could run Leaders with high-caliber talent on their team who still get pulled in to fix things themselves GUEST LINKS MarketStorm: https://marketstorm.ai/ MarketStorm on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/marketstorm WHAT TO DO NEXT Share Share this with a founder who gets pulled into sales or ops when they could be doing higher-leverage work. Ask them: "Do you need better talent, or do you need to learn to let go?" They'll see what's keeping their business from growing. And they'll remember you as the one who asked.

ABOUT THE PODCAST You were built for speed. But right now you feel slower than you look on paper. Most founders try to outwork that slow-down. It only burns them out.

Founders Say Yes. Teams Resist Change. Growth Waits. (Travis Hahler) | 386

Someone wants two days of your time. It's the kind of thing you'd love to do. And saying no feels like shutting a door that might matter. So you say yes. Then the cost shows up. It comes out of the hours you'd saved for building. And you pause. Your team does it too. They say yes to your face. Then the change costs them something they're good at. Six months in, hardly anything's moved. Travis Hahler wrote a book about that pause. It's called Rethink Resistance. He's led change at Google and Salesforce. And since the book came out, the asks keep landing on him too. Most of us live in the space between "yes" and "done." A few get to done, and what gets done is the thing they're building. ABOUT TRAVIS HAHLER Travis Hahler is the founder of The Neurological Nomad and the author of Rethink Resistance. He pairs a psych degree and an MBA with having led transformation at Google and Salesforce. For ten years he's been working out why most change efforts fail, across more than 100 organizations. INSIDE THE EPISODE How to make change actually happen in your org The signs of stalling and success that predict change Why "yes" doesn't lead to "done" How to give a "yes" that actually gets done THIS EPISODE IS FOR Founders whose good yeses keep eating the hours they'd saved for building Leaders whose team said yes to the change months ago, and hardly anything's moved Founders who say yes because "no" feels like closing a door GUEST LINKS Rethink Resistance: https://travishahler.com/book/ Travis Hahler on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travisdhahler/ WHAT TO DO NEXT Share Send this to the founder whose list keeps growing while the real work waits. Ask them: "What's the one thing that matters but keeps getting pushed down because of another yes?" They'll know exactly what you mean. And they'll remember you as the one who asked what everyone else let slide.

Founders Don't Need More Time or Hands. Just Better Brains. (Doug Levy) | 385

TRAILER You had too much on your plate, so you hired. You went straight to the job post, the resumes came in, one interview went really well, and you made the call and got back to work. Six weeks in, you're in their drafts, their meetings, their questions, and someone on your team picked up the parts that never got assigned, because the work still had to go out. And all the work you still have on your plate is still on your plate. Doug Levy spent 25 years in insurance, where the job is seeing around the corner and handling risk before it arrives. Now he does that for businesses in their hiring process. And he sees the same corner coming in almost every hire he touches. When you add up what that hire cost, you'll get to the salary, a few months, and one awkward conversation at the end. None of that is the expensive part. The expensive part is seeded long before you're in the search. It's your clarity and decisions about what's yours versus what's theirs to own. Your clients aren't complaining. Your team isn't saying anything. So many of our challenges are best solved upstream in our thinking. Most founders and operators don't look there. Those who do tend to have a different experience and results. ABOUT DOUG LEVY Doug Levy spent twenty-five years in insurance, a business built on what's around the next corner. He runs Lexington Rose Consulting now, where he catches the hiring risks owners don't see for months. With a system, a team, and clients who say he makes them better leaders. INSIDE THE EPISODE Why the job you posted isn't the job you have Why a terrible looking resume may become your best hire Why the problem you just solved comes back in six months THIS EPISODE IS FOR Owners hiring fast to keep up and ending up with more on their plate Founders who clear their week and watch it fill back up Leaders who feel behind when nothing is actually going wrong GUEST LINKS Lexington Rose Consulting: https://www.lexingtonroseconsulting.com/ Doug Levy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/levydoug/ WHAT TO DO NEXT Share Send this to the entrepreneur who's busy, overloaded, and still not getting to the work that grows the business. Ask them: what would actually have to come off your plate for the next hire to count? They'll get words for something that's been sitting with them since the last one. And they'll remember you as the one who pointed at it before they could name it.

Revenue Looks Great. You Still Can't Leave. (Forrest Derr) | 384

The revenue looks great. And everything still flows through you. You hand something off. It comes back with questions. You hire more people. Now there are more questions. Your phone goes forty times a day, and you're the one picking up. You tell yourself that's just what owning a business is. Forrest Derr sits with founders right there. He had one founder write every decision he made on a Post-it. A couple of days later you couldn't see the desk. He asks founders one question. If their spouse is in the business, he'll ask them too. When was the last time you took a week off? One owner had to think back ten years. A founder came in at sixty-plus hours. He wanted under forty. Another just wanted the phone to stop. What if you don't actually own a business, just a job with terrible perks? ABOUT FORREST DERR Forrest Derr is the founder of Derr Consulting. He ran a company that won Mobile's Small Business of the Year. Now founder-led companies bring him in to build a real second-in-command, and he works himself out of the job in six to twelve months. INSIDE THE EPISODE Why the next hire makes the bottleneck worse, not better Where the forty calls a day actually come from Why a week off feels impossible, and where the fix starts THIS EPISODE IS FOR Owners proud of the numbers who haven't taken a real week off in years Founders who hand off the work and wonder why it keeps coming back Leaders who added people to lighten the load and got more questions instead GUEST LINKS Derr Consulting: https://derrconsulting.com Forrest Derr on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/forrestkderr ENRG (Entrepreneurial Networking Resource Group): https://enrg.life WHAT TO DO NEXT Share Share this with the founder who can't remember their last real week off. Ask them: "What would have to be true for you to take a week off?" It may be the first time someone put words to something they've been calling normal. And they'll see you as the one who gave them a straight answer about what they really own.

Why Your Team Won't Adopt the AI You Brought In (Nisarg Mehta) | 383

You saw what it could do. The hours it would hand back. The grunt work it would lift off your team. The room it would finally open to build the thing you keep putting off. So you brought it in. You sent the links. You ran the training. You told everyone it's here. And the reasons it won't work started coming back. It makes mistakes. It is not as good as what we already do. And the real fear under all of it: this is how people lose their jobs. So you answer them. You show them the wins. You run it again. And the wall only gets higher. Here is the part nobody warns you about: you are looking at how fast this could move everyone forward. Their brains already called it a threat, before they ever gave it a fair shot. And you cannot demo your way past a fear. Nisarg Mehta has built the ecommerce, software, and AI that more than 250 brands run on, from WWF to Rumpl. He has done it through every tech wave since 2009. He moved his own team of more than 120 through this exact moment, and has watched other operators hit the same wall. Which is how he learned that having the right tool and getting everybody to use it are two completely different things. The moment that decides this is the one where their brain picks a side. And it happens with you in the room, or without you. ABOUT NISARG MEHTA Nisarg Mehta is the founder and CEO of Techtic, a digital transformation company he grew from two people in 2009 to a team of more than 120. For over fifteen years his team has helped companies adopt each new wave of technology, from the early web to AI. INSIDE THE EPISODE The decision your team makes about a new tool before they ever try it Why the tool that would free your team is the one they fight hardest Why your three-year plan is obsolete in days now THIS EPISODE IS FOR Leaders rolling out AI to a team that keeps finding reasons it won't work Founders who can feel the window closing while the rollout drags Executives funding the tools and the training, still waiting for the team to catch up Leaders trying to set direction when the ground shifts faster than they can plan GUEST LINKS Techtic Solutions: techtic.com Nisarg Mehta on LinkedIn: LinkedIn WHAT TO DO NEXT Share Send this to the leader stuck pushing a tool their team won't pick up. Ask them: "What if the part that decides this isn't the part you've been pushing on?" They'll remember you as the one who handed them the question they'd been circling.

The Work That Stops Founders From Scaling (Adam Spector) | 382

You finally get into the work only you can do. Then a Slack message. An email. A customer on fire. And the morning's gone. You're pulled back out. The work that moves your company keeps slipping to the edges of your day. The fire gets your best focus instead. It happens again tomorrow. And the day after that. You tell yourself it's just the job. You're the one who has to catch it. It feels faster. It feels like the responsible call. Adam Spector has backed over 200 startups.

About Adam Spector Adam Spector is the founder of Chore, a 45-person back-office operations company for fast-scaling founders. He has invested in over 200 startups, including 14 that hit unicorn status. As a four-time founder, he has lived both sides of the table. He built Chore around a simple read on why founders stay swamped.

The Founder Mistake That Looks Like Good Hiring (Gaurav Sabharwal) | 381

You hire carefully. Values check. Track record check. Culture fit check. Then a project goes sideways. And quietly, people start protecting themselves before they protect the work. Small ways first. Then bigger ways. Then it's a pattern, and you're watching it run across three teams at once. Gaurav Sabharwal runs four tech companies. About 300 people across them. Built, closed, and exited along the way. He picks people for a living. And he's seen the screen most operators miss. Not capability. Not values. The thing that decides what your team actually does the second things get hard. Most of your week becomes steering people back to the work. A few founders see what's underneath. Their teams steer themselves. ABOUT GAURAV SABHARWAL Gaurav Sabharwal is a portfolio founder and operator. Two decades building and scaling across services and SaaS. From a U.S. sales operation he grew 10x early in his career to now leading businesses like JoP (Joy of Performance), Saffron Tech, and Accessify Labs. Four companies. About 300 people. INSIDE THE EPISODE Why a clean values screen still leaves your team exposed when pressure hits How "beat the problem, not the person" quietly fails without one missing piece The moment loyalty stops being the right word for what you actually need THIS EPISODE IS FOR You picked the right people. Your team still fragments when it matters You give people the benefit of the doubt and watch it cost you anyway You can feel the difference between people who lean in and people who armor up GUEST LINKS Gaurav Sabharwal on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gsabharwal/ Jop (Joy of Performing): https://www.getjop.com Saffron Tech: https://www.saffrontech.net Accessify Labs: https://accessifylabs.com WHAT TO DO NEXT Share this with the operator on your team who screens hires.

Doing Everything Right. Still Not Working By Now. (Elizabeth Eiss) | 380

You’re doing everything that should be working. Real work. Consistent work. But the pipeline isn’t moving like it should by now. So you add more. New channels. New experiments. More content. You’ve built systems around it. And you can’t quite name why. You’re systematic. That’s kind of your whole identity. Which is why this is hard to see. Elizabeth Eiss spent decades inside Fortune 500 companies before building what small business owners couldn’t access. Full fractional teams. The delegation engine. Process, tools, people, in that order. She’s helped founders stop running every task and start leading their company for over a decade. Then someone turned it on her. And what came up wasn’t a missing tool. It was the one place a systematic person stops looking. ABOUT ELIZABETH Elizabeth Eiss built the fractional department model for business owners and executives who are ready to stop running every task themselves. She runs a diagnostic with clients. The average: 57% of their time on work that isn't their highest leverage. Then she fixes it. INSIDE THE EPISODE How your pipeline can stay flat even when you're doing all the right things Why tracking it all still doesn't show where the path actually breaks The moment ‘I’m already doing that’… and something still doesn’t move THIS EPISODE IS FOR You keep adding more because it should be working by now You’re doing the work. But it’s not compounding. You have a strong answer for everything. And the pipeline still won’t move.

The Hardest Person to Fire | 379

You already know who it is. You've known for a while. But every time you get close to the decision, something pulls you back. Gratitude. History. The memory of when they showed up before anyone else would. And the whole team can already see it. Even though no one's saying it out loud. The question isn't whether you're loyal. It's what you're most loyal to. And what that choice is costing you, the company, and the people who are watching you hold the line. Inside the Episode What happens inside a founder when loyalty starts hurting the mission — and why knowing doesn't make the decision easier. Harvard Business School studied 50,000+ employees and found removing the wrong person creates 2.5x more value than hiring a top 1% performer. Why most founders are running the wrong play. Even when they know the right one. When leadership shields a low performer, the signal travels fast: tenure counts more than results. That's not a culture problem. That's a decision you made — and everyone is reading it. This Episode Is for Founders and Execs Who... Already know who they need to deal with — and keep finding a reason to wait Feel the loyalty and hate what it's costing them at the same time Watch good people get quieter and aren't sure how much of it is connected to this What to Do Next → Send this to the founder who needs to make the call. You might be the reason they finally do.

Why Founders Stay Busy but Avoid the Work That Matters (Nicholas Louise) | 378

A founder blocks time for sales. The calendar fills anyway. Client work. Slack messages. Problems that feel urgent. By the end of the day, nothing new entered the pipeline. Not because the founder lacks discipline. Because some work feels heavier than others. Nicholas Loise helps founders build sales teams that scale beyond them. In this conversation, something uncomfortable shows up. Why the work that grows a company is often the work founders quietly avoid. About Nicholas Nicholas Loise helps founders build and manage sales teams so the business no longer depends on them to sell. INSIDE THE EPISODE • Why founders fill the day but the pipeline slows • How “I should prospect” quietly creates resistance • The moment business development starts feeling heavier than delivery THIS EPISODE IS FOR • Founders who know the growth work but avoid it • Leaders whose days fill while the pipeline shrinks • Operators who feel busy but not moving forward GUEST LINKS Learn more about Nicholas Loise and his work here: Sales Performance Team Website: https://www.salesperformanceteam.com Email: Nick@salesperformanceteam.com WHAT TO DO NEXT Share this with a founder who is working hard but avoiding the work that actually moves the business.
