In this "Lessons" episode, Brian Scudamore, founder of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, breaks down how leadership often becomes the biggest bottleneck to scale and why entrepreneurs must learn to get out of their own way. He shares how stepping back from day-to-day operations and empowering the right operators helped grow the business from $100 million to hundreds of millions in revenue. Brian also explains why finding leaders suited to each stage of growth is critical, and how systems, ownership, and franchising models allow companies to scale far beyond the founder’s personal limits.
