Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview John Seiffer (https://x.com/BetterCeo), author of Output Thinking. John is an experienced entrepreneur who knows what it takes to build a business that doesn't require you to be in the day-to-day grind.

We dive into how to move past being a solopreneur and actually build a scalable business. We talk about different phases of SMBs, why relying just on revenue isn't the best way to think about growth, and how the owner's role shifts dramatically when you start building systems instead of just doing everything yourself.

John shares his unique perspective using his Eight Buckets framework and explains how to start identifying outputs in your business to figure out what to delegate.
