The Founder’s Bottleneck: Why You Need to Stop Asking "How"


Listen Later

Today marks Day 1930 of my daily running streak. As I hit the pavement in my barefoot-style footwear, I’ve been reflecting on a concept from Dan Sullivan that has completely shifted my perspective on growth: "Who Not How".

For a long time, I’ve been a "How" person. When a challenge arises, my default is to ask, "How do I solve this?". But I’ve realised that if I want to scale this mission, to complete a 40,075km lap of the world and raise £1M for children’s causes, I cannot be the one doing all the "Hows".

If I spend my energy mastering every technical detail, I am taking energy away from the run and the advocacy that actually drives the mission forward. Efficiency isn't just about better systems; it's about the right people running them.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why asking "How" is the ultimate bottleneck to your mission.

  • Shifting your focus to find the right "Who" to create exponential growth.

  • Applying this framework to reach massive goals, whether in business or a 10-year running streak.

Stop asking "How can I do this?" and start asking "Who can do this for me?".
