But knowing when to balance both roles and when to switch between the two can be hard. When should you roll up your sleeves and build? When should you lead from the front and handle business operations? When should you focus on strategy and vision? And when is it time to trust your team and step back?Our guest, Adebisi Borokini, shares how she navigated this shift, what helped, and what got in the way. She also shares real stories and honest lessons about knowing what your product needs in the moment and how to grow from doing everything to leading the right way.
