    For Founders Ready to Scale: The #1 Hire That Changes the Trajectory of Your Business

    Send us Fan Mail Most founders do not hit a ceiling because they lack ambition. They hit a ceiling because the business still runs too much through them. In this episode, Alec Broadfoot explains how founders can recognize when it is time to stop trying to do everything themselves and start thinking seriously about the hire that can change the trajectory of the business: the right number two. Alec Broadfoot  is the founder and CEO of Vision Spark and the author of Hiring Your Right Number Two Leader. He has spent years helping entrepreneurs make one of the most important and most misunderstood leadership hires in business.  This conversation explores why founders often get this hire wrong, what the right second-in-command actually looks like, and what has to happen after the hire if you want the relationship to work. If you are feeling stretched, tired of carrying the day-to-day, or wondering whether growth now requires a different structure around you, this episode will give you a sharper lens. 📌What’s covered When founder hustle stops being enoughThe leadership hire that can unlock growthWhy hiring on instinct can backfireThe role of assessments, traits, and fitWhat makes a founder-number two relationship workWhere good hires break down after day oneThe tension between trust, control, and scale📚Hiring Your Right Number 2 Leader: Gain More Time.
