You go off grid for two and a half weeks, and the decisions still get made without you.

A manager finds a new $52,000 revenue stream while you do nothing but approve it.

The founder being irreplaceable is not a trophy. It is a countdown.

In Episode 24 of From Burnt Out to Bought Out, Jon and Ryan break down how to build a company that can operate without its founder with EZ Mobility Solutions President David Todd. David shares how he grew from installing ramps in 2001 to leading nearly 30 employees and a business approaching $10 million in annual revenue.

They cover giving up control, building leaders who push back, using AI to improve the sales to operations handoff, and preparing the company to survive 90 days without its owner. You will also hear how one employee took ownership of a problem and created a new revenue stream worth roughly $52,000 a year.

If you are still the best salesperson, installer, problem solver, and final decision maker in your company this one's for you.
