Preston and Vijay Rajendran break down the real transition between founder and executive, introducing the idea of becoming a \"chief enablement officer\" before you can become a chief executive one. They dig into building trust with new hires, using a RACI framework to clarify who owns what, and why letting go of control—not working harder—is what actually lets your business grow.
