This episode is for CEO's who keep asking, "Should I hire for this… automate it… or just push through?" and feel stuck in the weeds because the answer never seems clear.

We're unpacking why that question usually shows up too late, and how making decisions from exhaustion leads to rushed hires, messy automations, and businesses held together by survival mode instead of leadership.

This conversation reframes the issue entirely. It's not about efficiency or doing more, it's about responsibility. Who owns what. What actually deserves support. And what no longer belongs in your business at all.

If your backend feels heavy, decisions feel urgent, and everything still routes back to you, this episode will help you see what needs to be hired, what can be automated, and what should be let go, so leadership can finally feel lighter.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why asking "when should I hire?" from burnout leads to expensive mistakes

• The difference between offloading tasks and transferring real ownership

• When automations support growth and when they just speed up chaos
