When you’re leading a fast–growing agency, becoming the bottleneck isn’t a character flaw; it’s a sign your systems, team structure, and internal leadership rhythms need to evolve. In this episode, I sit down with Tom McGehee, Marine, corporate leader, consultant, entrepreneur, and co-CEO of the Halftime Institute, to unpack how seasoned leaders break free from overload and step into Leadership for Agency Owners that actually works.

Tom’s journey through special operations command, global consulting, entrepreneurship, and nonprofit leadership offers a rare window into sustainable growth: humility over ego, clarity over chaos, and mission-type orders instead of micromanagement.

If you’re navigating team handoffs, decision bottlenecks, burnout patterns, or the shift from success to significance, Tom’s insights will help you realign your leadership, empower your team, and build the margin your next season requires.
