About this episode

Kari Lotzien discusses how business leaders can overcome bottlenecks by creating space in their schedules for effective leadership.

If you’ve built a strong reputation, hired good people, and still feel like everything runs through you - this episode is for you. In this continuation of last week’s conversation, Kari dives into what happens after you realize you’ve become the bottleneck in your business. Not because you’re doing something wrong but because leadership has quietly been squeezed into the margins of your day. This episode explores why clarity doesn’t come from trying harder, working faster, or stacking better systems on top of an already full plate. It comes from something most business owners avoid: creating space.
