You built the company by thinking fast.

Now it’s bigger.
Twenty people. Thirteen countries.

But growth adds complexity. Complexity creates gaps. Gaps create pressure. Pressure either becomes fuel or failure.

Rob te Braake built and exited multiple companies. Now he leads a global team helping 7- and 8-figure founders turn messy books into clear, decision-ready dashboards.

He knows how numbers scale. 

In this episode, he asks the harder question:

What if the real bottleneck isn’t skill… But the way you’re thinking about it?

INSIDE THE EPISODE

·       Why your words stop landing the same as your team grows

·       The cycle that turns smart delegation into more pressure

·       The belief that says, “That’s not my thing,” and why it costs you

·       How changing your thinking removes the bottleneck instead of adding more force

WHO THIS IS FOR

·       Founders whose team is bigger, but clarity feels smaller

·       Operators and execs who feel pressure rising at every level

·       Leaders who delegate the message but still own the result

·       High performers who’ve quietly thought, “I’m just not built for that”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

You were built for speed.
But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.
Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.
It only burns them out.
Your mind is the only machine your company doesn’t upgrade.
So leaders keep pushing against the wrong thing.
Hosted by doctor of psychology and executive coach Dr Yishai Barkhordari.
