Hire a Second in Command and Get Your Life Back feat. Cameron Herold

What if the reason you're struggling to delegate has nothing to do with your team and everything to do with who you are outside your clinic? Dr. Lauryn expected a conversation about hiring a second in command, but business growth expert Cameron Herold takes things in a direction neither of them anticipated. What happens when being a doctor or entrepreneur becomes your entire identity? And if you finally had more free time, would you even know what to do with it? Together, they explore how to hire the right second in command, why promoting your most loyal employee can backfire, and how to identify which responsibilities you should delegate. Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn into work-life balance, personal fulfillment, and Cameron's powerful Vivid Vision framework for designing the future you actually want. This is a conversation about building a successful business without sacrificing the life you were supposed to be living.
