Episode Details

On Mind Over Masculinity, consultant and author Harrison Tash lays out how to design a company that thrives with you but doesn’t depend on you. We get practical about decentralizing decisions, preventing founder bottlenecks, spotting burnout early, and applying his 8-to-Create leadership framework so leaders stop firefighting and start leading. Direct, actionable, and built for today’s operators who want sustainable results without losing themselves.

About the guest :

Harrison Tash is the founder of Living Water Consulting and author of Exit Without Leaving (October release). He’s helped companies—from small firms to a construction business that doubled revenue—by building leaders and systems, not chaos.

Key takeaways:

• Thrives with you, not on you: Healthy companies run smoothly in your absence and perform even better with your focused presence.

• Decentralize decisions: Centralized approval creates bottlenecks and burnout; push authority to the edge with written role clarity.

• The GIG test: Top leaders should be Growing, Investing, and Guiding themselves and others—while holding teams accountable.

• Role design prevents burnout: Define the top 3 problems solved, top 3 responsibilities, and top 3 characteristics for each key role; fix mismatches fast.

• Delegate to develop: You don’t keep your edge by hoarding work; you keep it by developing people and stepping in only when needed.

• From hustle to cadence: Replace constant urgency with systems, ownership, and measurable rhythms so results compound without sacrificing wellbeing.

• 8-to-Create in practice: Use the framework to assess leaders, distribute decisions, and install accountability rituals across the org.

• Real success signals: Freedom, repeatability, and team resilience—not founder exhaustion.
