    Too often people claim they’re ’Giving Away Gems’ that will help you get started and it doesn’t end up being true.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Emily Reagan (How true operational leadership can help you scale)
Q: What does hiring an OBM look like for you, and what can founders do to assess their needs?
The host and Emily discuss defining the founder's 20 percent—the tasks only they can do—and using an OBM to take over the rest, improving baton-passing, reporting, and decision-making. They stress the importance of clear KPIs, test projects, and discovery calls to reveal the true value of time returned to the founder.
Interview with Emily Reagan (How true operational leadership can help you scale)
Q: What was your last launch like and how is the market changing around launches?
Emily explains that six-figure launches faded over the past couple of years, forcing leaner operations and highlighting capacity constraints. She emphasizes the need for ongoing, evergreen-style launches and stronger project management to prevent bottlenecks and maintain marketing focus.
Interview with Emily Reagan (How true operational leadership can help you scale)
Q: Before we go on, what are the roles on your team and what does the current structure look like?
Emily outlines a team with a dedicated editor, email/automation expert, a marketing assistant, two program managers (one for the school and one for the community), a community program manager, and someone handling inbox and affiliate launches. She notes they are missing a launch manager and an OBM, which leaves big gaps in leadership and strategy while the execution remains fragmented.
