Businesses don’t fall apart from delivery. They fall apart at the top. 

I’ve coached hundreds of consultancy owners. 

I’ve sat on real boards. 

I’ve scaled from $3M → $30M with 20 shareholders. 

And I’ve seen how fast a business can fracture when governance isn’t set up properly. 

This week’s episode is the conversation most founders avoid — until they can’t. 

Inside, I’ll show you: 

Why founders lose control without even realising it 

(and how to make sure it never happens to you). 

Why minority shareholders disengage silently 

(and what this does to culture and momentum). 

Why “everyone gets a say” sounds fair 

but destroys speed. 

And why the wrong voting structure traps good businesses in endless friction. 

Then I show you the model that fixes it. 

The exact two voting frameworks that work. 

When to use each. 

How to keep the business fast, aligned, and conflict-free. 

And how to write it properly into your shareholders’ deed. 

This is real-world, in-the-trenches consultancy leadership. 

If you’re serious about scaling… 

If you care about alignment… 

If you want a business that grows past $10M and actually stays healthy… 

Listen to this episode — especially if you’ve introduced (or are planning to introduce) new shareholders into the business.
