Why Your Best Employee Is Hiding Your Biggest Problem

What got you here is usually the exact thing that breaks at the next level.

Emma Rainville (the Wizard of Ops) and Mitch Barham (the Wizard of Ads) on why scaling isn't doing more of what works — and the person on your team quietly hiding the fact that your systems can't handle the next level.

Grit and duct tape will get you to a million. Past that it's a different game entirely. Mitch walks through going from $14K to $100K MRR in a year and rebuilding operations every two months to keep up.

Emma explains the hero problem — the person who sacrifices everything to get it done, masks that you have no systems, and breaks on the way to the next level. Plus what each revenue jump actually feels like, all the way to a hundred million.
