## Resource

What actually limits growth in a business? In this episode of PodCrash, Matt sits down with Dr. Alan Barnard, one of the world’s leading experts on the Theory of Constraints, to break down why most companies stay stuck even when everyone is working hard. They discuss bottlenecks, decision making, why multitasking hurts performance, and how leaders can identify the single constraint that truly drives results. If you run a business, manage a team, or feel like progress is harder than it should be, this conversation will change how you think about improvement and growth. Want more Matt in your life?
