He urges leaders to model the behavior they want to see, using tools like “I” statements, setting ground rules, and staying focused on the issue—not the person.

Ever feel like everything in your business depends on you? You’re flat out quoting, answering questions, fixing mistakes – and somehow, the team still isn’t getting it right. Delegation is meant to lighten the load, but when it’s done poorly, it creates more work, not less. Most business owners think they’re delegating, but what they’re really doing is offloading tasks without clarity. Or worse, micromanaging every step because “no one else can do it right.” The problem isn’t the team – it’s the missing fundamentals. Great delegation isn’t about control, it’s about trust, clarity, and ownership, a skill that separates businesses that grow from those that stall. We’re breaking down the three ingredients of great delegation: what, when, and why. Get these right, and everything changes. In this episode you’ll learn:

Episode Summary In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, I share one of the biggest challenges law firm owners face: how to let go without losing control. If you've ever felt like your firm can't run without you—approving every bill, answering endless team questions, and constantly putting out fires—this episode is for you. I dive into why holding on too tightly will keep you stuck and how you can start creating a business that runs smoothly without you micromanaging every single detail. From building the right team to implementing systems and processes, I show you the practical steps that transformed my law firm and have helped many others do the same. Key Segments Why Letting Go Feels Impossible – The emotional and practical reasons law firm owners resist delegating. The Hidden Cost of Control – How holding on to everything yourself turns you into the bottleneck. The Power of Teams and Systems – Why having the right people in the right seats and well-documented SOPs is the real key to scaling. Creating a Law Firm That Runs Without You – How I went from chaos to clarity in my own firm and how you can do the same. Your Next Step – Why this is a gradual process, but one that will give you freedom, profit, and peace of mind. My Takeaway Letting go doesn't mean losing control—it means gaining a sustainable business. When you put the right team and systems in place, you no longer have to be the engine of your firm. You can step back, focus on leading instead of firefighting, and finally have the freedom you wanted when you started your practice. Call to Action If you're ready to stop being the bottleneck in your law firm and want to build a business that runs without you, join me inside Scalable Law. We'll help you implement the systems and processes you need so you can create a firm that is profitable, sustainable, and doesn't rely on you for every decision. Apply here to take the first step toward a law firm that gives you more freedom, more profit, and less chaos. If This Episode Resonated With You......

Jim Bianco joins me on The Wolf Of All Streets to break down how Bitcoin and crypto may no longer be fighting the system – they might be part of it. We talk about Trump's pressure campaign on Jerome Powell, the failure of rate cuts in a world ruled by fiscal dominance, and whether stablecoins are just the new tools of Wall Street. Has Bitcoin lost its rebel edge, and could the bond market be the last thing standing between us and financial collapse?

So, Libsyn just flipped the script on podcast monetization. No more minimum download requirements.

First, we look at the surging demand for domestic tourism in India—fuelled by government initiatives, social media, and global hotel investment. Then we shift to the messy underbelly of hotel distribution, where smaller OTAs are undercutting official rates, damaging brand trust, and draining ad budgets. Whether you're in hospitality, tech, or travel marketing, this episode offers key takeaways on growth, disruption, and staying competitive in a fragmented landscape.Are you new and want to start your own hospitality business?Join our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Boostly and join the discussion:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to know more about us?

Antonia helped build one of the most iconic period brands in the world. In this episode, she takes us inside the real, messy, deeply human journey of launching Thinx: from her pink pajama shame moment at 13 to raising millions, writing her own patent, and co-founding a brand that changed the way we talk about periods.   But that's only the first half of the story.   She opens up about what it actually felt like to raise money, negotiate with strategic partners, and sit in rooms where you slowly lose control of the brand you built. What happens when you and your co-founders don't want the same future? What do you do when the investors are offering the deal of a lifetime? 01:10 – Meet Antonia: From Classical Musician to Brand Builder 04:30 – The Origin of Thinx: A Three-Legged Race & a Bikini Bottom 08:00 – From India to Innovation: Solving Global Period Poverty 11:15 – The Girl Effect: Empowering Girls by Keeping Them in School 14:20 – Designing Smart Underwear: Antimicrobial, Leak-Proof & Chic 17:40 – First Funding: From Music Studio to Kickstarter 21:30 – “Failure to Launch” & Taking the Leap 24:10 – Family & Friends Round + The $25K Investor Who Made $1M 27:50 – When Deals Don't Close: Due Diligence with UK Partner 31:40 – Sri Lanka Email Changes Everything: MAS Becomes Strategic Partner 36:00 – Why the Subway Ads Made People Stop & Stare 38:45 – Educating the Public on “Underwear for Periods” 41:00 – Kimberly-Clark Enters the Picture 43:20 – Losing Control of Product Design After Investment 45:00 – Birth of Her Next Venture: The Shoe Brand Idea 48:15 – $2.1M Kickstarter for Her Shoe Brand in 90 Days 51:00 – Was She Ready to Leave Thinx? 53:10 – The Co-Founder Rift: Different Timelines, Different Visions 56:40 – Lessons in Equity, Contracts & Business Breakups 59:15 – Don't Assume Love = Legal Protection 01:01:30 – Why She Has No Regrets (But Learned the Hard Way)

Planning a job is one thing—getting it through the shop without chaos is something else entirely. In part two of our Managing Orders series, we move beyond quoting and scheduling to the messy reality of production: where kitting falls short, setups go long, expectations don't match reality, and quality gets squeezed when time runs out. We've seen it happen. A setup that was budgeted for two hours takes six. Why? Because the job wasn't kitted right. Because the estimator used wishful thinking. Because no one raised their hand when they knew the target was off. It's not just frustrating—it's a breakdown in accountability and trust across your team. This episode is about fixing those breakdowns. We unpack how better handoffs, clearer documentation, and stronger internal service mindsets can completely transform your process. From shift tie-ins and floor leads to process development and postmortems, we share how to build a shop where problems get solved before they become expensive. Because making chips isn't just about getting to the spindle—it's about building a culture where everyone owns their part of the process, and where your systems hold up even when the pressure's on.

The pressure to move fast has never been greater—leaders must accelerate digital transformation, deploy AI-driven efficiencies, and launch new business models faster than ever. But unchecked speed can create strategic drift, unmanaged risk, and operational chaos. How do leaders ensure velocity without recklessness, and what structures should be in place to prevent scale from turning into instability?

June 15, 2025 - "The Fear Of Losing Control!"

In this episode of 'Steps to Trusting', host Erin Michele discusses the common frustration of disrupted plans and how to trust God in challenging circumstances. Through biblical stories of the Israelites in Exodus 14, 15, and 17, Erin highlights the importance of shifting our trust from our circumstances to God. She emphasizes the significance of turning to God with our frustrations and relying on His provision. Key takeaways include the need to refocus on God's presence during tough times, the value of prayer in seeking guidance, and the assurance that God is with us even when our plans don't succeed.I would love to hear from you.  Connect with Erin Michele Smith at www.erinmichele.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stepstotrusting/ 00:00 Welcome to Steps to Trusting00:23 A Story of Changed Plans01:44 Trusting God Over Circumstances02:20 Lessons from the Israelites03:43 The Parting of the Red Sea06:00 Bitter Waters Made Sweet07:17 Water from the Rock09:16 Invitation to Trust in God14:37 A Prayer for Trust15:31 Final Encouragement and Farewell

Some entrepreneurs scale like they're in a racecar with no brakes - fast, reckless, and headed for a wall. We're here to pump the brakes, steer smart, and map out a playbook that keeps growth and stability in the driver's seat.  

“Being willing to let people make mistakes is a bit of a sacrifice because when you choose not to over define the behaviors, people will learn from trial and error.” Autonomy is one of the biggest drivers of motivation. But finding ways to give employees freedom in their jobs can be challenging. Tune in as Ethan and Mike explore this critical topic. This episode originally released back in 2023.  Links:  Episode on the Decision Making Styles Episode on SCARF Text the word “LEADING” to 66866 to be added to Nash Consulting's monthly newsletter. Just practical management skills and tips. And just once a month. Pinky swear.

In this episode, we dive into how AI is transforming filmmaking—from casting docs to visual effects—and why keeping the “human in the loop” is critical to protecting your creative voice. We cover how to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Veo without giving up authorship, and where to draw the line between helpful and harmful. If you're navigating the changing landscape of indie film, this is a must-listen.

Roy van den Broek is the founder and CEO of Rentman, a rental business management software platform for event and media production companies. Roy built software for his event equipment rental business in the Netherlands. He had over 100 software customers in Europe before selling his rental equipment company in 2015 to focus on growing his Rentman SaaS company.  Rentman grew slowly and profitably as word of mouth spread in the industry and their product evolved. In 2024, after growing to nearly 100 employees and 200,000 users across 100 countries, Roy raised a $22 million growth equity round from Expedition Capital to derisk the founder's investment and add growth capital to continue expanding.  In this episode, Roy discusses how they managed the painful growth stages as they expanded from one employee to 80 global employees, building a multi-lingual product and business, and why he chose to raise a significant growth equity investment.  Quote from Roy van den Broek, founder and CEO of Rentman “We had a lot of interest in investing in Rentman after COVID, so we ran a quick process. We ended up with 3 term sheets. You have multiple ways to look at these term sheets. You can look at the numbers and the valuation, which is a big part.  “But what's often overlooked is the other terms. The other terms are as important as the valuation because they really determine the way you work together. I think these terms might even be important or more important than the valuation. You got to understand their game and really figure out if you could get some alignment.  “In essence, you are negotiating the amount of autonomy that you have as a founder. That's basically what we prioritized. Like the board seats and who makes certain decisions, what are the decisions that require a majority vote? And I think we were able to get 100% autonomy on our side.“ Links Roy van den Broek on LinkedIn Rentman on LinkedIn Rentman website Expedition Growth Capital website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this thought-provoking episode, Tom sits down with Mike Baker—former CIA officer, security expert, and host of the President's Daily Brief podcast—to dissect some of the most pressing issues facing America and the world today. Together, they dive deep into the real threats posed by China, from cyber warfare and TikTok's influence, to intellectual property theft and military ambitions in the South China Sea. Mike shares his insider perspective on just how vulnerable the U.S. population is to manipulation and misinformation, and why America's short-term focus could leave us blindsided by powers playing the long game. The conversation doesn't stop there. Tom and Mike tackle America's mounting debt crisis—why it could be our biggest existential danger—and break down the hard realities of realpolitik, from uneasy alliances to the sometimes ugly calculations behind foreign policy. They take an unflinching look at the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel and Gaza, and the cultural and geopolitical tensions threatening to reshape the global order.
