What’s the real cost of a messy backend? It’s more than inefficiency — it’s your time, energy, and peace of mind. In this episode of Ops Uncovered, Michelle Stone breaks down the hidden costs of “duct-taped” systems — the patchwork tools, half-built processes, and constant rework that quietly drain your capacity as a founder.

You’ll learn how to spot the operational leaks that steal your focus, how to calculate what they’re truly costing your business, and what calm, sustainable structure looks like when it’s done right.

If you’ve ever felt like your business only runs when you do, this conversation is your invitation to build differently — with clarity, confidence, and systems that support your life, not steal from it.
