You've built something significant, millions in revenue, solid team, strong reputation. 

But here's what I've consistently seen over 34 years as an entrepreneur: clients still ask for you specifically. 

Your team defers strategic decisions back to you. Partners expect you at every important meeting.

Feels like a compliment, right? It's actually a structural constraint killing your growth.

And no, hiring better people, building more processes, or doing more marketing won't fix it. The problem isn't what most founders think.

In this episode, I reveal why your presence has become the bottleneck, and introduce a framework that transforms your voice from an activity into a scalable asset.
