Scale With Pros
Hosted by Cody Barton · EN
If you're a business owner tired of being the bottleneck in your company, this podcast is your playbook.
I’m Cody Barton — not a hype guy, not a guru. I’m an operator who’s scaled real companies behind the scenes. By 25, I became a millionaire. Since 2021, my companies have generated over $50,000,000 in revenue. My specialty? Building teams, systems, and accountability structures that grow companies without burning out the founder.
Each episode of Scale With Pros features either myself or other 7- and 8-figure business owners sharing how we’ve actually built and scaled — not theory, just real-world execution. From hiring A-players to installing scalable operations, you'll learn what it takes to build a business that runs without you doing everything.
If you're a serious founder ready to scale beyond 6 or 7 figures — and finally build a business that serves your life instead of consuming it — this show is for you.
Tune in, take notes, and get ready to scale with pros.
