In this episode of Finding the Upside, I’m talking directly to my CEOs, founders, and visionary leaders who are still operating like it’s day one—doing all the things, grinding, juggling, and carrying the whole load. I recently heard a story from a former NFL player that hit me square in the heart—and it’s one I had to share.
He talked about the shift from high school ball to D1 college football to the pros—and the real evolution that happens at each stage. And it got me thinking… so many leaders are stuck playing high school ball in their business, when they should be building like pros.
This episode is your reminder (and maybe a wake-up call) that it’s time to let go of the “do it all” mindset and step into the level of leadership where real support, structure, and systems fuel your success.
IBecause if you’re still operating like a high schooler when you should be operating like a pro, something’s gotta shift.
Let’s unpack what it takes to move from scrappy solo operator who’s doing everything to supported, scalable CEO who relies on the teams that are there to support them—it’s the next step. Let’s go.
Here’s a quick look at what you can expect from today’s episode…
