Growth ≠ scale, and too many founders learn that the hard way.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Straza of Straza Consulting to unpack what actually holds back firms from reaching the next level and why more sales won’t fix a broken structure.

They dive into:

• The difference between running a business and truly being in control
• Why poor delegation crushes growth (and team morale)
• How Straza helped firms jump from $5M to $15M, then rebuilt profit
• Real stories of operational friction, founder bottlenecks, and burnouts
• How to tell if your company’s outgrown its team (and what to do next)

If your firm is scaling in size but not in profit or if you’re starting to feel like the bottleneck, this episode will help you reset your foundation and scale the right way.
