About this listen
If you run a business, you know the daily battles are real. In this episode of Obsession Required, we dig into the day-to-day challenges founders face—unexpected shocks (tariffs, COVID shutdowns), broken lead-gen systems, over-engineered tech, team dependency, customer churn, and the leadership traps that quietly stall growth. We share what actually worked: getting back to basics, building independent problem-solvers, installing chain-of-command, and using AI and systems (when they help—not when they hurt).
How to spot (and fix) business blind spots before they become crises
Real stories: a gym owner rebuilding after shutdowns, an auto auction staying open, and a publisher modernizing with AI
The “131” decision framework (1 problem, 3 options, 1 recommendation) for faster, better calls
When to pivot vs. double down and how to keep your brand relevant when budgets get cut
Why leadership access is a superpower—and how to use it without disempowering your team
Five core principles for growth: Never quit, be relentlessly resilient, stay disciplined, obsess over growth, and choose your circle wisely
