On this episode of The Value Factory Podcast, host Andrew Ballard talks with Steve Nasca, Principal at OneAccord and seasoned CEO, about what happens when a company outgrows its founder. Steve breaks down the “Founder’s Dilemma”—the moment when a craftsperson’s talent builds a business that exceeds their capacity to lead it. Drawing from 25+ years in executive roles, he shares how to balance pride with self-awareness, when to seek outside leadership, and how culture, collaboration, and the right team can turn growing pains into sustainable growth. A candid conversation about leadership maturity, scaling smart, and building companies that thrive beyond their founder.
