Are you building a real business, or just working yourself into burnout? In this episode of the Damn Good Marketing Podcast, Shelby Clement gets real with Lauren, attorney, business strategist, and co-founder of Arena Collective. They dig into what it actually means to step into the role of a CEO, from building out your team and systems to learning when to step IN your business and when to step OUT.

Lauren brings both her legal expertise and leadership consulting background to the table, sharing hard-earned advice for women founders, small business owners, and visionaries looking to scale. Plus, Shelby shares how she’s prepping for a business acquisition, and the exact mindset shift that made it possible.

💥 What you’ll learn:

• The secret to making your business run without you
• How to let go of “do it all” syndrome and start delegating with confidence
• What most entrepreneurs get wrong about hiring, scaling, and systemizing
• Why mom guilt doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong, it means you care
• The emotional side of business acquisitions (and how to navigate them smart)

This episode is part masterclass, part kick in the pants and 100% fire for your business.
