In this episode of Scared Confident, Tiffany Sauder invites listeners into a behind-the-scenes coaching session between Rachel Downey, CEO of Share Your Genius, and Brian Kavicky, business advisor and sales leadership expert with Lushin. As Rachel works to scale her company, she faces a familiar founder challenge - how to transition from being the driving force behind everything to leading a team that can execute without her.

Rachel opens up about the pressure of hitting big business goals, the struggle to delegate with confidence, and the tension of watching her team do things differently—sometimes not as well as she would. Brian offers direct, practical coaching on how to let go of perfection, set a culture of accountability, and create space for her team to grow through failure.

This episode explores how founders can trust their teams while maintaining high standards and why learning to let go is a crucial step in long-term growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Why 80% done by your team is better than 100% done by you
• How to hold your team accountable without micromanaging
• The role of failure in learning—and how to use it as a leadership tool
• How to shift from founder to CEO by redefining success
