“Debt: Beware of the Hidden Partner Every Entrepreneur has to Face” on Mike and Blaine

Send us a text

Most entrepreneurs think they know their business partners—until debt quietly takes a seat at the table. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we explore how debt acts as a hidden partner in your business, shaping decisions around pricing, hiring, expansion, and risk—often without you realizing it.

It’s not about fear—it’s about visibility. If you’ve ever borrowed money, signed a lease, or leveraged financing to grow, debt has already become part of your leadership team. Mike and Blaine break down how to recognize debt’s influence and what you can do to stay in control.

• How debt quietly drives business decisions
• Why visibility into your obligations changes your strategy
• The risks of ignoring debt as a “silent stakeholder”
• Practical steps to manage financial commitments with confidence

Tune in to rethink how you view debt and its role in your entrepreneurial journey.
