In this episode, he and Sean get into what changes as a business grows, when doing everything yourself stops working, why letting go can be harder than starting, and what it takes to build a team that can carry the business forward. They also talk through Ross’s own path from the Army to entrepreneurship, the lessons he learned starting a business in 2007, and why the best founders never really stop learning.\nThese conversations are designed to give you practical insights into leadership, growth, and building companies that actually make an impact.\n\nSit back, relax, and let's take flight.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Bh0ANeszDU9_SU5r7Yxn3KQ9oSWD_uhJu5FVYFIyD5Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNDRl/N2NkYTk4Zjg1YWJi/NTk3ZjlkYmJhYmY0/YjFiZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
