Our guests are visionary founders and seasoned leaders who have already made an impact within their organizations, industries and orbits of influence - and who are bringing even bigger visions into reality. Through candid, deep-dive conversations, we explore the courage, clarity and confidence required to create what does not yet exist, along with the decisions, strategies, resources and transformations involved in moving a vision from idea to reality. Leading Visionaries is produced by the Creative Age Consulting Group, where we work with visionary founders and seasoned leaders to monetize their vision, expertize their leadership, or further capitalize on what they’ve already built. Because big visions require more than inspiration. They require a clear, revenue-amplifying business strategy capab…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-29T16:22:49.429405+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leading-visionaries-podcast-6419551"},"episode":{"title":"Questions, Coaching, and Selling a Business for $37M with Max Lewis - 115","slug":"questions-coaching-and-selling-a-business-for-37m-with-max-lewis-115","published_at":"2026-01-06T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leading-visionaries-podcast-6419551/questions-coaching-and-selling-a-business-for-37m-with-max-lewis-115","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leading-visionaries-podcast-6419551","url":"https://leading-visionaries-pod.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://growx.podkite.com/https/PKjvk092tx/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/c1f8ba5b-b8c1-4912-8b2b-0cd1a9efcfc5.mp3","summary":"What if the fastest way to scale isn’t doing more, but touching less. In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Max Lewis, author of Who Is Max Lewis? Max went from selling mangoes as a kid to building a propane tank exchange business that ultimately sold for $37 million. This episode is a masterclass for founders, CEOs, and visionaries who feel capped by their own effort and are ready to step into the next version of leadership. What You Will Learn: Why vision is often developed through experience and small wins rather than arriving fully formed at the beginning. How staying the “single point of failure” quietly limits growth no matter how hard you work. Why the transition from operator to owner requires a complete identity shift, not just better systems. How learning to “not touch anything” becomes the most uncomfortable and necessary leadership upgrade. Why hiring friends may feel supportive early on but can cap the long-term potential of a business. How intentional thinking time becomes a strategic advantage for solving bigger problems and scaling faster. Why asking questions like what a $25M business owner knows clarifies exactly what you need to learn next. How learning just enough about a subject allows you to hire the right experts without becoming one yourself. How role playing reveals what your team does when you are not present and gives you the power to coach proactively. Why investing in education compounds forever because knowledge is something you never lose. How designing your physical environment can keep your vision, focus, and priorities aligned daily. What it looks like to scale through coaching, training, and trust instead of effort and exhaustion. Resource: Max Lewis Instagram Book: Who is Max Lewis?
