## Resource

In this episode of Telling My Story, entrepreneur and business strategist Dan Brault shares how business owners can build companies that grow without becoming completely dependent on them. Drawing from more than 15 years of experience in leadership, sales, business development, and over $100 million in real estate transactions, Dan explains why many entrepreneurs become the bottleneck in their own businesses and how they can break free through better systems, leadership, operational leverage, and AI-powered solutions. We discuss founder dependency, scaling challenges, leadership development, business systems, and practical strategies for creating a company that delivers both growth and freedom. Whether you're a startup founder, small business owner, or experienced entrepreneur, this conversation provides actionable insights to help you build a stronger, more scalable business.
