Join John Crossman and special guest Alec Broadfoot, CEO of Vision Spark and author of "Hiring the Right Number Two Leader," for a compelling discussion on unlocking entrepreneurial freedom. Drawing from John's harrowing Grand Canyon hike, they explore the paradox of visionary leadership: the desire for freedom often leads to a 24/7 workload. Alec reveals why a strategic 'number two' leader is indispensable for success, providing three to five times the return on investment.
