You don't have a hiring problem. You have a reputation problem.

The best candidates already know which companies to avoid.

You built it. You broke it. You're the only one who can fix it.

Clarity isn't a nice-to-have. It's the reason people stay.

Twelve companies at a time. That's the cap.

I work closely with 12 owners and their teams. I'm not scaling a consulting firm. I like deep, long commitments with a small number of owners, and twelve is the number I can do well.

When every seat is taken, the next owner waits for one to open.
