In this episode of "Accelerate Your Business Growth", host Diane Helbig interviews Scott Ritzheimer, an expert in business growth and leadership. Scott shares his insights on the Founder's Evolution, a process that outlines the seven stages that founders go through in their journey from prelaunch to post-exit. Using a vivid analogy from a childhood experience, Scott emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing the stage one is in as a founder, and the significance of charting a clear path to the desired stage. He encourages founders to find their own path, whether it means moving forward, backward, or finding fulfillment in their current stage.

Leadership Evolution: "But let's face it, when it really comes down to it, if something goes really wrong, you've got the most history in the company, you've got the most knowledge around the topic, you know all the different parts and how they all connect. You are on the initial sales call and you know what the final product's gonna be like brand so you are the most qualified person to get in there and help out. That's what a great leader does at that stage. They get their hands dirty and they make it happen."
