Breaking the Founder Hero Addiction That's Killing Your Growth

Hey everyone, today I’m joined by Sean Lang.

Sean is an agency operations expert who helps founders remove themselves as the bottleneck in their business.

Before entering the agency world, Sean managed an airport refueling operation—a role that gave him a healthy respect for process, compliance, and what happens when things go wrong. He’s since applied those lessons to help agency owners stop hoarding problems and start building teams that actually think.

I wanted to have Sean on because the founder-as-hero mindset is killing agency growth, and most owners don’t even realize they’re doing it. He’s got some great frameworks and strategies to address it. Also, his podcast, Agency Uplift, is a must-listen show.
