In this episode, we rip into:

How client pleasers accidentally kill profit

What “authority” really means (hint: it's not shouting louder)

How agency folk can stop grinding their teeth and start setting real boundaries

If you’re tired of over-servicing, getting walked over, or wondering why you’re broke despite being busy — this one’s for you.

🎯 Core takeaway: Stop people pleasing. Start challenging. Become indispensable.

👉 Includes: Chris’ free Authority Gap Assessment, stories from his coaching trenches, and a dead-practical framework for scoping conversations (I3 model).

🎧 Listen if you want to:

Stop being your client’s emotional support human

Train your team to say no (without the drama)

Charge what you're worth — and keep your sanity
