My Business Became More Profitable After I Fired Myself as CEO
"My business became more profitable after I fired myself as CEO". In this brutally honest interview, serial entrepreneur Eric Vardon shares the story of how he and his co-founder stepped away from day-to-day operations at their 8-figure agency, Arcane. He realized that what he loved was building the business, not the day-to-day management of HR, processes, and executive meetings. This conversation is a masterclass in founder self-awareness and preparing a business for a successful exit. You'll learn the process of hiring a new CEO to replace yourself, the emotional roller coaster of selling a business you built from scratch, and why getting out of the way was the best decision he ever made for the company's growth.
