Most founders don’t have a growth problem.

They have a time allocation problem.

They’re stuck doing work they shouldn’t be doing—and it’s limiting their ability to scale.

In this episode, Guy Coffey sits down with Adam Spector, founder of Chore, to break down how founders become bottlenecks—and how to remove themselves from that role.

Founder Bottleneck:
A situation where the business depends on the founder for execution, decisions, or operations—slowing down growth.

Delegation:
The process of assigning tasks to others so the founder can focus on high-impact activities like strategy, growth, and leadership.

What You’ll Learn

Why doing everything yourself kills scalability
How to delegate effectively as a founder
Why back-office work should be systemized
How to “buy back your time”
What high-performing founders focus on daily

The Real Problem

If everything runs through you…

You don’t have a scalable business.

You have a job.

Key Takeaways

Your time is your most valuable asset
Delegation is a growth strategy—not a cost
Systems create scale—not effort
Founders must move from operator → architect
Growth requires removing yourself from low-value work

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or buried in day-to-day work…

That’s not a capacity issue.

That’s a systems issue.
