You can’t out-hustle broken systems. You can’t outwork bad strategy. You can’t out-grind poor leadership.

In this episode, Tiffany High shares the truth most people don’t want to hear: busyness isn’t the same as progress, and freedom only comes after mastering the fundamentals and building the right systems.

Through personal stories, hard lessons, and real examples from their own business, Tiffany reveals how to stop being the bottleneck, document what’s working, and build a business that runs without you.
