What’s Your Problem: Real Talk on Operations, Focus, and Embracing Limitations

In this episode, Sarah Schumacher, Zach Oshinbanjo (and joining later, Lee Zuvanich) experiment with a new format about our own, recent founder problems: tedious admin work, the art of saying no, and staying afloat when founder brain pulls you in twenty directions. We discuss Sarah's quest for operational efficiency, Zach's strategic life overhaul, and Lee's struggle with octopus-esque multitasking, in hopes it will provide you with useful tips on leveraging technology, refining your focus, and being a pragmatic pessimist (or at least some commiseration).
