  • What If Your Success Habits Are Now Holding You Back? You’ve built something from the ground up—but what if the very traits that made you a successful founder are now the biggest blockers to scaling and exiting? In this episode, I speak with John Spence, one of the world’s leading authorities on business and leadership. Named by the American Management Association as one of America’s top 50 leaders to watch—alongside the likes of Larry Page and Jeff Bezos—John became CEO of the Rockefeller Foundation at just 26 and has since advised both Fortune 10 giants and small, fast-growth businesses across the globe. I’ve known John for years, and every time we speak, I’m reminded just how deeply he understands what makes a business thrive—or fail. This conversation was rich in insight, challenge, and practical strategy. We covered: The mental traps founders fall into when transitioning from startup to scale-up The psychological roadblocks that sabotage even the most talented leaders Why reflection, emotional intelligence, and adaptability are now non-negotiables Learn how to scale and exit faster by applying to join our waitlist for our next cohort to the game changers inner circle business mastermind go to https://bit.ly/business-mastermind-waitlist for more info 5 Key Takeaways from the Episode: Most businesses plateau due to a mix of Ignorance, Indifference, Inflexibility and Inconsistency. Recognising which one you're operating in is key to moving forward. The habits that serve you as a founder can become liabilities as a leader. Without shifting your mindset, you risk becoming the bottleneck. Founders who successfully scale are the ones who learn to hire well and step back. Running a £1M company and a £50M company requires completely different skill sets. Emotional intelligence (EQ) and adaptability (AQ) often outweigh technical expertise in long-term leadership success. The best leaders take full ownership of their mistakes—and are brave enough to ask for help.
