Over time, that same approach turned into a bottleneck: longer hours, slower execution, and a business increasingly dependent on him being everywhere at once. In this episode, Shane breaks down the shift from operator to leader and what actually has to change for scale to become possible. We talk delegation, trust, decision-making, and why stepping out of the middle doesn’t mean stepping out of control. He also shares how AI, systems, and team structure changed the way he works—and why execution often fails not because of strategy, but because leaders stay too close to everything.
