In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Standridge, partner at Innovation Junkie, who shares his journey from the healthcare world to becoming a strategic consultant and entrepreneur.
Jeff talks about his early career as a paramedic and flight nurse, and how his experiences on a helicopter led him to transition into organizational behavior and consulting.
He offers an interesting blend of stories from his medical days and insights into helping businesses thrive by making a difference rather than just making a living.
We dive deep into the challenges of scaling a business, especially when the founder feels tied to every aspect of it.
Jeff shares his approach to systematizing tasks and creating a growth plan that takes entrepreneurs from being stuck in the day-to-day weeds to thinking strategically about how to grow their teams and, ultimately, their businesses.
He discusses the importance of innovation, communication, and building a culture where leaders and employees are aligned and focused on driving the business forward.
Jeff also drops some valuable wisdom on leadership, touching on common pitfalls like unclear communication and lack of focus. He explains how creating systems, keeping people accountable, and fostering a resilient, adaptable culture can lead to long-term success.
If you’ve ever struggled with balancing the demands of running a business and scaling it effectively, Jeff’s advice on leveraging technology, building a strong team, and creating a growth system will definitely resonate.
