Summary

I’ve discovered something pretty interesting in my career. The people who make the best entrepreneurs are often not very great CEOs. Personally, I think I make a better entrepreneur than CEO, but I’ve been wearing both hats for 2 decades now. Let me tell you. It isn’t easy. And that’s why I was so excited to talk to today’s guest: Tanner Chidester. After years of grinding, he built his business to more than $20 million in revenue. But at the start of 2023, he decided to FIRE HIMSELF as the CEO of his company! And instead of limiting his company, he knows it’ll bring it to new heights. It’s an absolutely fascinating convo. He also dove deep on… How he grinded for years and was able to keep faith in himself when times were tough… The big breakthrough that finally allowed him to SCALE his business to $20+ million a year… The fundamental difference between being an entrepreneur vs. a CEO, and which is right for you… The 3 things that convinced him to step down as the CEO of his company… And the 3 strategies he uses to talk to billionaires frequently… Let me know what you think in the comments!
