Summary

Somewhere between freelancing solo and running a full team, Nicole lost the freedom she built her business for in the first place. Preston and Dawn Andrews unpack the messy middle of management, where leaders mistake a process problem for a people problem, and share a simple, collaborative way to build standard operating procedures your team will actually use. From word-vomiting your vision into AI to running a low-stakes test before it matters, this episode is a roadmap back to the freedom Nicole started chasing.
