What happens when your business can’t run without you?

In this raw and honest video, I share the turning point that changed everything:

A walk in the forest, a warning from my doctor, and the realization that I hadn’t built a company.

I’d built a cage.

If you’re a founder, entrepreneur, or CEO who feels indispensable to your business, this story is for you.

Inside, I share:

• The wake-up call that forced me to step back.

• Why being “indispensable” isn’t leadership, it’s a liability.

• How I confused control with strength.

• What really happens when nothing in your business works without you.

This isn’t about working less.

It’s about building something that gives you options.

Because optionality is the real freedom.
