Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps
Stop Running Your Business and Start Leading It
If your business can’t run without you, it’s not a business. It’s a job in disguise. You see, scaling stops the moment you become the bottleneck.
In this solo episode, Jonathan Herps takes us inside his own journey. From commanding armored reconnaissance in the Australian Army Reserve to leading five companies as CEO, Jonathan pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to grow a business without staying stuck in it.
He shares what most CEOs miss about building teams, the biggest mistake scaling founders make, and what changes when you finally step into the real role of leadership.
This one’s for every CEO who's built something solid, but knows there's another level waiting.
In this episode of Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps, you’ll discover:
- Jonathan’s backstory that shaped his leadership style today (00:00)
- The mindset shift from doer to leader (03:13)
