S1E21: Start Being the CEO Who Knows What Powers Their Business


Listen Later

Too many CEOs are leading companies they don’t actually understand. They avoid the hard questions, stay removed from the infrastructure, and end up trusting vendors, consultants, and internal optics more than their own systems.

In this episode of Rebellious Business, we call on business leaders to stop leading from a distance—and start engaging with how their company really runs. Because if you don’t know what powers your business, you’re not leading it. You’re being led.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why asking operational questions isn’t ignorance—it’s strength
  • The five “knowhows” every CEO should have about every team
  • How to stop being exploited by outsiders who pitch optics without substance


Listen now—and start leading with eyes open, not hands off.
