What if the thing quietly draining thousands from your business every year isn't your salary bill, your software stack, or even your team... but the hundreds of tiny decisions you make before lunch?
In this episode I sit down with Barry Cryan, founder of Do More Better, who's coached over 6,000 entrepreneurs on how to work less and grow more. Barry's journey into this work didn't start in a boardroom. It started in a bathroom at work, locking the door for twenty minutes at a time, trying to function through undiagnosed Lyme disease.
What he built to survive that period became the framework he now uses with six and seven figure founders. We get into the invisible tax most business owners are paying without realising, why your to-do list might be the problem (not the solution), and the small shift that helped one of his clients turn a day and a half of work into three hours.
