Scaling a business isn’t just about growth — it’s about structure.
In this episode of the Wealth Architect Podcast, we break down two critical factors that determine whether a business scales successfully or breaks under pressure.
Felicia Emond explains the real differences between 1099 contractors and W-2 employees, the costly mistakes business owners make, and how to stay compliant as your team grows.
Then, Amy Byrne and Andy Bovender share how they built one of the fastest-growing real estate teams in the Carolinas, covering smart expansion, choosing the right partners, and protecting culture while scaling across markets.
If you’re hiring, expanding, or preparing for your next level — this episode is essential listening.
