Struggle To Strength Podcast

EPISODE 117: Discover the secrets to unlocking massive business growth in our latest podcast episode!

Strategy Sprints founder and CEO Simon Severino joins the boys on the podcast this week to dive into the power of delegation, using A.I. to streamline processes, and the benefits of daily flow.

During 19 years of entrepreneurship, Simon has executed hundreds of go-to-market strategies with B2B teams around the globe.

Having scaled his own consultancy, Simon has retired from operations and now became an investor, helping thousands of entrepreneurs reach financial freedom and have a business that runs without being dependent on them.

Simon understands the value of time and just what a rare commodity it is for business owners trying to create some separation from their businesses. It’s a critical goal, says Simon, because visionaries can’t do their best work if they’re mired IN the business rather than working ON the business. There are ways to create space while continuing on a trajectory of growth, but of course not without certain compensations. That’s where Simon’s team comes in, along with his helpful compendium: “Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business.”
