What if your biggest bottleneck… was you?

In this episode, James sits down with Tom Dillon of Frak Finance, a former investment banker turned fractional CFO, to unpack the real reason most firm owners stall out- and what it takes to scale beyond the “one-man band” model.

You’ll learn:

  • Why hiring before you're ready is often the smartest move
  • How to remove emotion from high-stakes financial decisions
  • The moment Tom knew he had to fire himself- and what happened next
  • What most fractional CFOs overlook when it comes to client growth
  • How to build a team that operates with calm, confidence, and clarity

👉 If you’re serious about building a sustainable firm with real infrastructure - not just a job you own - this conversation will flip the switch.
