In this episode, we’re continuing our scaling series with Sarah Reynolds and Kymber Lovett-Menkiti to talk about one of the hardest shifts in business: moving from being the leader everyone depends on to building leaders who can carry the mission forward. We get honest about the moments when we became the bottleneck, the pain of leading too many people directly, and the mistakes that come from promoting great performers before they are ready to lead. We talk about why every leader has a capacity limit, how your job changes as the company grows, and why leadership has to be taught intentionally instead of assumed. We also dig into culture, hiring for heart, letting go of the need to be the hero, and what it really means to lead through multiplication instead of addition. If you’re trying to scale a business without burning out, this conversation will help you build the leaders who help you build the future.
