Excuse Me Sir?

Why Founders Waste 20+ Hours a Week (And How to Get Them Back)


Listen Later

Time is the most expensive currency in your business — but most founders are leaking it without even realizing it.

In this episode, I dive into the three biggest time leaks scaling founders face, founder habits, team inefficiencies, and broken systems with a deep focus on the founder-level leaks that silently cost millions in enterprise value.

We’ll cover:
• Why founders spend 8+ hours a week stuck in email instead of growth strategy
• How micromanaging eats up 7 hours a week and kills scaling momentum
• The hidden cost of context-switching and multitasking (hint: 9 hours wasted every week)
• Why wearing “all the hats” is startup culture — not a scaling strategy
• The mindset shift required to step out of operations and into enterprise growth

If you’re scaling toward $10M–$50M, this episode will help you reclaim your time, focus on valuation-driving activities, and finally stop bleeding hours that should be compounding into long-term wealth.
