  • Unlocking the Power of Leverage | From Hustle to Builder Thinking | The Leverage Lounge

    In this episode, Mike Collier breaks down leverage as a mindset and leadership approach, not a productivity tactic. He explores the shift from hustle and producer thinking to builder thinking, and why burnout often comes from trying to control everything instead of creating trust and structure.

    This conversation lays the foundation for understanding leverage in all its forms, including people, systems, AI, capital, and time. Mike also shares practical leadership principles like subtraction before addition, protecting high value activities, and committing to clarity before growth.

    If you are working hard but still feel stretched thin, this episode will help you rethink how you lead, build, and scale with intention.
