## Resource

Pricing is a powerful growth engine when treated as an intentional strategy rather than a guessing game. Marcos Rivera shares his 'Trampoline' framework to help founders transition from solo operators to scalable leaders through effective delegation and lean operations.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Pricing should be an intentional growth driver, not a reactive adjustment
- Practical takeaway: Use the 'Trampoline' framework to manage talent, rhythm, and objectives
- Failure mode: Avoid the 'expert trap' where leaders refuse to delegate tasks they are capable of doing themselves
- Practical takeaway: Implement a consistent meeting rhythm to create momentum and prevent wasted time
- Practical takeaway: Build autonomy by encouraging team members to make decisions and learn from mistakes
