Most business owners eventually hit a ceiling: too many demands, too little time, and a constant pull in every direction. In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr speaks with Justin Lund, entrepreneur, coach, and founder of Propel, about how leaders can break free from bottlenecks and reclaim both their time and their growth.
Justin shares his powerful journey—from early success scaling a company to nearly nine figures, to losing tens of millions through poor systems and oversight, to rebuilding his career by helping founders master the essentials of business freedom. Together, David and Justin explore:
- Why most entrepreneurs get stuck in cycles of firefighting and burnout
- How mindset shifts open the door to sustainable growth
- The three-part Founder Freedom Flywheel: mindset, systems, and delegation
- Why skipping straight to delegation usually leads to frustration and wasted money
- The Delegation Pyramid and why starting with admin, not leadership hires, is the key to scaling
- Quick wins that free up hours every week and reduce overwhelm
If you’re a founder, consultant, or professional services leader who feels trapped in your own business, this conversation will show you how to reset, regain clarity, and build a business that doesn’t depend entirely on you.
