S3E2: The Founder Bottleneck Nobody Wants to Talk About

Every founder bottleneck comes down to one of two things:

First, capacity. You don’t have time to do everything (and it certainly doesn’t help that what you think is a “quick 15-minute task” usually takes much longer to complete.)

Then there’s clarity. Your team doesn’t have the information or permission to make decisions without you, so you become the thing in the way of getting things done.

We can’t snap our fingers and give you more hours in the day (believe me, we’ve tried), but we can help with the clarity problem, and that’s exactly what we’re doing in this episode.

We’re breaking down:

• Why founder bottlenecks are usually about control, not capability
• How to approach clarity bottlenecks differently than capacity ones
• What your team’s questions actually say about you as a leader
• What happens when you avoid feedback to hide from difficult conversations

Talking about being the bottleneck in your business can feel awkward and boring. But being the bottleneck in your business can be the difference between moving forward or staying stuck.
