I recently joined Borzou and Amanda on the Where Brands Get Their Edge podcast to discuss a challenge many founders face:How do you build a business that doesn’t depend on you?

Over the years, I’ve built and exited businesses across multiple industries, including IT services, event production, telemarketing, media, and entertainment. One thing I’ve learned is that sustainable growth requires founders to stop being the center of every process and start building systems that allow the business to operate without them.

In this conversation, we cover:

✔️ What “getting out of the business” actually means
✔️ The Week-Off Stress Test and what it reveals about your company
✔️ How AI and automation can simplify operations
✔️ Building SOPs that your team will actually use
✔️ The hiring framework that significantly reduced employee turnover
✔️ Why founders micromanage and how to break the cycle
✔️ The simple rule that transforms employees into problem-solvers

If you’re a founder who feels trapped in the day-to-day operations of your business, this episode provides practical frameworks to help you create more freedom, accountability, and scalability.Special thanks to Borzou, Amanda, and the NickelBronx team for the great conversation.
