In this episode of Grow or Die, I sit down with my CEO coach, Nickie Froiland, to explore the transformative power of choices in leadership and business. Together, we delve into redefining success, delegating responsibilities, and separating personal identity from business identity. Nickie shares invaluable advice on navigating transitions in leadership, making mindful decisions, and embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth.

We discuss the challenges of managing a growing business, the emotional toll of scaling back on client work, and the freedom that comes with empowering your team. This conversation is packed with actionable insights and reflections for anyone seeking clarity in their professional journey or striving to align their choices with their long-term goals.
