S3 E24 How Founders Can Build a Business That Runs Without Them
This week on Crunching Your Growth, Phil Masiello sits down with Jordan Solender, entrepreneur, business optimization expert, and founder of Solender Capital.
Known as The Bottleneck Breaker, Jordan helps founder-led companies remove the roadblocks that keep owners stuck in the daily grind. After generating more than $40 million in revenue across multiple industries and building several successful exits, including an eight-figure technology firm sale, Jordan has learned what many founders eventually discover the hard way: growth can become a trap when everything still depends on you.
In this episode, Jordan shares how founders can stop being the limiter in their own business by using systems, delegation, automation, and accountability. His philosophy is simple but powerful: pick one thing and remove yourself.
Phil and Jordan discuss why high-performing entrepreneurs often become the biggest bottleneck in their companies, how to delegate without losing control, and how to build a business that can finally run and grow without the founder doing it all.
For any founder who feels overwhelmed, overextended, or stuck inside the operations of their own company, this conversation delivers practical steps to reclaim time, build better systems, and scale with more freedom.
Scaling isn’t magic, it’s systems. Crunching Your Growth brings you inside the playbooks of founders, operators, and marketers who turned good products into durable businesses. Hosted by Phil Masiello, 4x exit founder, agency CEO, and author, the show unpacks real numbers, real bottlenecks, and the decisions that move needles: sharpening positioning, building demand beyond one channel, turning ops into an advantage, and evolving from founder-doing to team-owning. Expect crisp segments (What Worked, The Stall, The Fix, The System), on-screen frameworks, and case-specific metrics (CAC/LTV, retention, contribution margin) you can copy. If you’re building a consumer brand on DTC, Amazon, or omnichannel retail, Crunching Your Growth is your weekly working session.
