Most founders start as the pilot of the business, but many never leave the cockpit. In this episode, Steve Bambury joins Mark Banicevich to explore why growth stalls when the founder remains the single point of decision-making. They unpack how high-performing advisory boards act as “air traffic control” - providing strategic visibility, challenge, coordination, and future-focused thinking. From founder blind spots and governance mindset shifts to distributed intelligence and scalable leadership, this conversation is packed with practical insights for owners, directors, and growth-stage businesses looking to professionalise without losing entrepreneurial edge.
