What if the next wave of business growth isn't coming from Google rankings, social media algorithms, or paid ads, but from AI recommendations?

You may be the best person at what you do, and still be invisible when your ideal clients ask AI who they should hire.

As more people turn to AI for recommendations, a new question is emerging: What determines who gets recommended and who gets ignored?

 In this episode, Priscilla Shumba unpacks a major shift that every founder, coach, consultant, and expert should understand.

If you're one of many founders that are starting to slightly resent the business they built, this conversation is for you. 

Ambition and perseverance got you to success, but the future of your business is going to require a founder that isn't too busy in the weeds to see where the puck is going next.  

Your business will hit a ceiling of growth if everything still runs through you. 

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 enough
• The leadership hire that can unlock growth
• Why hiring on instinct can backfire
• The role of assessments, traits, and fit
• What makes a founder-number two relationship work
• Where good hires break down after day one
• The tension between trust, control, and scale

Most founders think scaling is about chasing the next revenue number. This conversation shows why cash flow, team, and mindset matter more than the milestone itself.

This episode with Tracy Holland breaks down what actually changes as you scale from $1M to $10M to $100M+  and what has to be in place if you want growth without burnout.

Tracy co-founded Hatch Beauty and helped scale it to more than $750 million in cumulative wholesale revenue. What makes this episode valuable is not just the size of the business she built, but the clarity she brings to the real levers behind growth: cash flow, team, mindset, vision, and the disciplines that keep a founder from drifting when things get harder, not easier. 

This is a conversation for founders who want to grow without building a business they secretly hate. It is also for founders who are trying to make smarter decisions about hiring, culture, momentum, AI, and the tension between short-term cash and long-term brand building.

Enjoy this masterclass!
