In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, I sit down with Rob Broadhead, a veteran software architect, entrepreneur, and mentor with over 30 years of experience in technology and business. Rob is the founder of RB Consulting and the voice behind the Develop podcast, where he helps developers and business leaders turn ideas into real-world results.

Rob and I talk about the hidden challenges of delegation, why “done is better than perfect” is harder to live by than it sounds, and how leaders can create environments where people are allowed to grow instead of being forced to conform. We explore the gap between building great systems and building great teams and why the best leaders focus less on themselves and more on clearing the path for others.

We also dive into:

- Why comfort can quietly limit growth

- The danger of releasing products before they truly solve the problem

- What imposter syndrome really looks like after success

- Why feedback should flow in both directions

- How reflection makes better leaders and stronger businesses

- The difference between working in the business and working on it

Rob shares how his own journey from developer to business owner reshaped how he thinks about leadership, success, and scaling responsibly. His perspective is a reminder that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, staying humble, and building teams that can thrive without you standing in the middle.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t come from control it comes from clarity, trust, and the willingness to evolve.
