Every founder hits limits.
The question is which ones.

Business mechanics carry you into 7 figures.
But past $5M, human mechanics become the choke point.

That’s when the cost explodes.
You could be leaking millions a year without even seeing it.

This episode shows you how to tell if it’s time for a business coach…
or a performance coach.
