️ Total Profit Podcast — Episode 23: If You're Always the Hero, Your Business Is the Villain

If your team can’t move without you—and your phone blows up every time you try to take a vacation—it’s not a business. It’s a hostage situation.

In this episode, T2 and Tommy P expose the hidden danger of “Hero Syndrome” and why being the fixer-in-chief might be killing your business. They unpack the psychology behind it, the cost of micromanagement, and the toll it takes on your team’s growth, morale, and your own sanity.

You’ll learn:

  • Why always being the problem-solver isn’t leadership—it’s control

  • The emotional traps business owners fall into (and how to break them)

  • How to trust your systems and empower your team with authority

  • The real cost of doing work someone else should own

  • How to delegate outcomes—not just tasks—and actually scale

    TPM Challenge:
    Audit your week. How many tasks did you take on that someone else could own? Pick one. Fully delegate it. Don’t rescue. Don’t hover. Let it go.
