Teams are hard.

They're complex, emotionally heavy, and often far less profitable than people assume. And if you're leading a team right now that feels more draining than fulfilling … it's time to rethink how your team works, not whether you're cut out for leadership.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned after 11 years as a team leader and two years into national expansion with our team.

I'm walking you through the moments when a team model stops working, and why that's not a failure. Sometimes it's because of success. Sometimes it's the market. Sometimes it's the season of life you're in. And sometimes it's because the "old way" just isn't sustainable anymore … either for you or for your team members.

You'll also hear the specific shifts we made that changed everything … including the biggest mistake we made early in expansion, how we simplified service levels, reduced overhead, and created a structure that's more stable financially and lighter emotionally.

If you're rethinking your team model (whether you want to expand nationally or simply run your local team differently), start here.
