Most creative businesses struggle to grow past the founder. In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie talks with Alisa Sparks, founder of Linden Creek, about how she turned a creative service into a scalable, multi-location business. Alisa didn't start with a master plan. She started with a problem — and built systems to solve it. From staging luxury homes to franchising across the country, this conversation highlights what business owners between $1M–$25M in revenue need to hear: Creativity doesn't scale — systems do Inventory and cash flow determine freedom Franchising is a shortcut when done correctly Peer advisory groups accelerate better decisions Leadership means hiring people better than you This episode is a reminder that successful businesses aren't built on hustle alone — they're built on frameworks that work even when the founder steps back.
