What if the very thing you think is helping your business grow is actually holding it back? In this episode, I sit down with David Dial to uncover the surprising truth about control—and why real leaders must break free from it in order to scale. For digital agency owners striving to build a sustainable, high-performing business, this conversation reveals that scaling doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from leading differently.
We dig into the leadership bottlenecks that silently stall growth: emotional reactivity, fear-based decision-making, and the inability to develop internal talent. If your team can’t move without you, this episode challenges the way you lead and offers a practical path toward scalable, self-managing teams. For agency owners stuck in the weeds and craving real momentum—this is the shift you've been avoiding, but can’t afford to ignore.
