Episode 19 – If You’re the Smartest One in the Room, You Hired Wrong
with T2 & Tommy P

Still the one putting out fires, solving every problem, and making every decision?
That’s not leadership—that’s a hostage situation.

In this episode, T2 and Tommy P take on the myth of the all-knowing business owner and unpack why being the smartest person in the room is a recipe for burnout, bottlenecks, and business stagnation.

You’ll learn:

  • Why being the go-to for everything is holding your business back

  • How to attract A-players who think, lead, and challenge you

  • What real delegation looks like (spoiler: it’s not just handing off tasks)

  • How to shift from a dependency model to a true leadership structure

    TPM Challenge of the Week:
    Identify one decision you’re currently making that someone else could make—if they had the clarity and training. Transfer it. This week.
