192: When Growth Breaks the Owner

from Grow With Purpose · host Joey Brannon

Every owner wants growth. Few are ready for the version that shows up uninvited and never lets up. In this episode, Joey Brannon and Tommy Rohrlack talk through what happens when sustained growth starts to break the owner: the apathy that signals burnout, the financial squeeze that hides behind rising revenue, and the hard conversations owners avoid until the weight lands entirely on their own shoulders. They walk through the three identities every owner moves through and the one that actually survives growth, and they close with a single practice you can start this week.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:• Why the most dangerous growth is the kind you didn't plan for• The two telltale signs of burnout: apathy in decisions and no time away from the business• Why avoiding a hard conversation about a key person is what breaks the owner• The three owner identities and why leading people, not doing the work, is what scales DOWNLOAD THE LEADERSHIP GUIDE:‍ ‍Episode 192: When Growth Breaks the OwnerHELP US IMPROVE THE SHOW: Take our 30 second Survey📞 Have a question for the show?
