Most people see the glam, but few see the 15-hour days that built it.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, I sit down with Jamie Sanborn, owner of One Eleven RX, a med spa based in Auburn, MA, to talk about what it actually takes to build a thriving business in an industry that looks a lot easier than it is.

We talk about why Jamie hires for bedside manner over skill, what it means to ""eat last"" as a leader, how she navigated finding a compliant medical director partnership in one of the most regulated states in the country, and why staying honest with your team is the foundation everything else is built on.

If you're building a business in a service industry and trying to figure out how to grow without losing the personal touch that got you there, this episode is a practical and honest look at what that actually requires.

A month in, with two new hires thriving. The only regret I have is not doing it a year ago.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, I share what I learned in the 30 days since bringing on two new hires, an operations coordinator and a marketing manager, and why my only regret is not doing it sooner.

If you're running your own business and feeling the pull to hire but keep stalling, this episode gives you a practical, honest look at what it actually takes to bring someone on and make it work.

One word. Endure.

That's the best business advice Carolyn Hearn has ever received, and the way she explains it makes it impossible to forget.

Most people in real estate have heard the word wholesaling, but not everyone actually knows what it means.

Carolyn Hearn breaks it down in the clearest way I've heard it explained.

If you've ever been curious about how deals get assigned and where the money actually comes from, this one's worth a watch.

Most people don't have a knowledge problem. They have an action problem.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, I sit down with Carolyn Hearn, a Dispositions Manager at Moss Home Solutions, a real estate wholesaling company based in Rhode Island, to talk about what it actually looks like to move from idea to action at 23 years old.

Carolyn has been with Moss Home Solutions since she was 19, studying real estate at Penn State while building real-world experience every summer. Now full-time in dispositions and on her second house flip, she moves before she has every answer and figures it out on the way.

We also dig into analysis paralysis, the case for building a team before you feel ready, and what the nature versus nurture question actually looks like for two entrepreneurs who both learned the game from their dads.

If you're early in your entrepreneurial journey and still waiting until you know enough to start, this episode will show you what it looks like to build confidence through action instead.

Don't stop the snowball.

If you've built momentum in your business and you're waiting until everything is perfect to hire, you're giving everyone else time to catch up.

The fear of hiring early is never as bad as the cost of stopping.

Most entrepreneurs don't have a hiring problem. They have a timing problem.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, I discuss hiring before you think you're ready. Drawing from my own experience building out my team, I break down why waiting until you're overwhelmed is the exact moment hiring becomes hardest, and what it costs you when momentum stalls.

I walk through the two traps entrepreneurs fall into when they wait too long to delegate: either they stop promoting new business to protect their service levels, or they try to do both and watch quality slip. I unpack the "snowball" problem, where hesitation hands your competitors the time they need to close the gap.

Find the right person, build the systems together, and stop letting the fear of imperfection slow down what's already working.

If you're a business owner who keeps saying you need help but keeps putting off the hire, this episode will show you exactly what that delay is costing you, and what to do about it instead.

By the time most people realize they need help, they're already maxed out.

Once that happens, either your service levels slip or you stop promoting new business. Neither one is good.

The fix isn't working harder, it's building before you desperately need to.

Most people think in tasks. CEOs think in systems.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, I sit down with Andrew Bosco, CEO of Candor Investment Group and Founder of Granite and Pine Properties, to break down what it actually means to run a business from a 10,000-foot view and why that perspective changes everything.

Andrew's path to the CEO seat wasn't a straight line. He spent time as a teacher, a scientist at Moderna and Pfizer, a real estate agent, and an investor before stepping into the top seat at Candor; a company on a mission to help one million people reach financial independence through real estate. He shares how imposter syndrome followed him into the role, why he initially said no, and what ultimately made him put the gas on the fire and commit.

If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, or operator trying to think bigger, build smarter, and stop getting in your own way, this one's for you.

Work backwards from the outcome. Every time.

Figure out what the highest revenue-driving task in your business is, define exactly what that task looks like broken down step by step, and then do it on repeat. Optimize as you go. That's it. That's the whole framework.

The hard part isn't knowing it. The hard part is actually doing it.
