When Fair Becomes Foolish: The Hidden Cost of People-Pleasing

What if the real issue in your studio isn’t how hard your staff works—but how unfairly you treat yourself?

In this episode, we flip the script on fairness. Most studio owners bend over backwards to be “fair” to their team… while silently tolerating burnout, resentment, and blurred boundaries. But here’s the truth: if your systems are built on self-sacrifice, they will eventually collapse.

Inside:

• Why overaccommodating your team creates long-term dysfunction
• The hidden double standard studio owners rarely see
• How to reset expectations—and build a culture that’s fair to everyone

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever thought, “I just want to be fair,” but end up feeling taken advantage of. Fairness isn’t about doing more for others—it’s about designing a system that works for you, too.
