What has to happen in your life for you to realize that you need a break – and to take it?
Brooke Dukes has built four companies in 24 years, and she's found the same problem inside every one of them: the founder becomes the bottleneck. Brooke Dukes is the founder of Success by Design, a leadership operating system for founders and CEOs of small and mid-sized businesses and the author of Burn On, Not Out.
In this episode, Brooke and Dawn get into what that bottleneck really is: control and fear, dressed up as "just being hands-on," and why it's often the same pattern showing up at home and at work. Brooke shares the story behind her book Burn On, Not Out, including going into preterm labor on a corporate jet at 34 and later giving herself shingles and COVID at the same time. Dawn and Brooke also dig into human design — type, strategy, and authority — as a practical tool for decision-making, boundary-setting, and finally trusting yourself again.
