LME 034 - Tips For First-Time Managers

Founder Independence is for founders and business owners who feel their company depends on them for every decision, every escalation, and every problem. As the business grows, that dependence gets worse—and so does the stress. This show focuses on one question: how do you build a company that runs professionally without you being the bottleneck? 

This isn't motivation or quick tips. It's practical systems work: removing decision bottlenecks, stopping problems from always traveling upward, and building consistent execution that doesn't require the founder to be involved in everything. We'll also break down why "just hire better people" and "just delegate more" fails when the sequence and structure are wrong. 

You'll hear a mix of formats: deep-dive conversations with Bernd Geropp and Brian Creager (moderator and sparring partner), interviews with founders and experts who have solved parts of the puzzle, and occasional solo episodes when a topic demands it. Each episode aims to move you one step closer to true founder independence—system by system.
