55-Are You A Business Owner Or A Business Operator?

Most business owners say they care about faith, family, and freedom, yet their schedules tell another story.

In this episode, Steve and Adam Burton dig into a question that changes everything: if you stepped away for a month, would your business survive or collapse? This conversation exposes the hidden trap owners create when everything relies on them, and why you cannot scale what depends on you.

They walk through the three roles every founder plays, operator, owner, and investor, and show how shifting into the right one opens the door to freedom, growth, and a stronger exit. You'll hear how to realign your time with your values and build a business that can truly run without you.
