News flash: When it comes to running a business, you can’t do it all. Sure, you can survive 90-hour work weeks for a season, but ultimately if you’re interested in building a business bigger than you, you’re going to have to delegate.

Also joining us are Ramsey Solutions’ own Daniel Tardy and Sarah Sloyan who share why—and how—to develop new leaders within your organization. And finally, StoryBrand CEO Donald Miller weighs in on the undeniable value those leaders add to your bottom line.
