"I am the best salesperson in my company, and that scares me." Leah Bumphrey, Paul Boomer, and Dennis Collins dig into this confession from founders and owners across their combined century of experience with small businesses.

Learn why "hero-based leadership" might be the very thing holding your business back, and how to move from being the "Superman" of your office to a true educator for your staff.

In this episode:

[04:45] The Control Trap — when sales dip, many owners' first instinct isn't a better strategy, it's a need for control

[06:40] The Cost of "Jumping In" — stepping in to fix sales problems gives temporary relief, but the cost of doing it is permanent

[13:09] Stewardship Anxiety — the internal pressure founders feel when growth outpaces structure, and why it's not really about ego

[18:07] Removing the Training Wheels — why modern leadership means teaching your team to balance on their own instead of letting them depend on you

[27:03] Hero-Based Leadership — recognizing the moment your business has outgrown your individual ability to "save the day"
