Kathy Snelgrove and Jeff Rousey, founders of business advisory firm Siere, join Dan for a conversation that includes his own real crisis moment as a client of theirs. They unpack why an entrepreneur's goals feel sold the moment they're achieved, and tell the Boeing story where a team cut a 24 day manufacturing cycle down to just over three once they let go of what they believed was possible. The tension is that most business owners wait until they're out of options before asking for help, carrying beliefs about their business that were never actually true. Producers and business owners walk away with a clearer read on the gap between what they say they want and what their actual behaviour is building.
Most business owners wait until they're at the end of their rope before they ask for help. Kathy Snelgrove and Jeff Rousey, founders of Siere, have spent eleven years watching that pattern up close, including with Dan himself during a real crisis in his own business. Their core belief: a business is a reflection of the beliefs its leader is carrying, and most of those beliefs were never true to begin with.
