What can entrepreneurs learn about knowing when to step back and let someone else scale your company?

After 25 years building Magnet Media from zero to a thriving brand storytelling agency, founder Megan Cunningham made the bold decision to step back as CEO. Why? She knew scaling required different skills than starting up.

In this episode, Megan shares:

  • How she built incredible employee retention (10+ year tenures!)
  • The strategic thinking behind her CEO transition
  • Why JPMorgan Chase's "Women on the Move" podcast became an award-winning hit
  • How IPO storytelling evolved from PowerPoint road shows to cinematic narratives
  • Her decision-making frameworks: the 10-10-10 rule and one-way vs. two-way doors

    • Plus, Teasha puts Megan through the decision-making persona test with surprising results!

    Whether you're a startup founder or scaling a business, this conversation reveals how self-aware leadership and strategic succession planning can preserve company culture while enabling growth.
