Most business owners think scaling means working harder.

Dave Houston says the opposite.

In this powerful conversation, Francesca sits down with entrepreneur and business strategist Dave Houston to unpack one of the biggest mindset shifts in business growth:

Your distance from the customer defines your level as an entrepreneur.

Dave shares his journey from being a dentist stuck in the day-to-day operations of his clinic to building a multi-location business with 75 employees and eight-figure revenue.

This episode dives deep into leadership, identity, systems, delegation, and the painful but necessary process of unlearning what got you to one level so you can reach the next.

If you’ve ever felt trapped inside your own business, this conversation will completely change how you see growth.
