On the Up and Up

People On Purpose, the podcast that reminds you that your business doesn’t run on policies and processes alone... it runs on people. If you’ve been with us since the On The Up & Up! days, you probably remember the tactical HR tips, the “how-to hire” episodes, and my rants about I-9s and contractors vs. employees. And don’t worry, you’ll still hear the occasional HR compliance tip. But after years of working with hundreds of small businesses, I realized something big: It’s not the systems or the SOPs that make your business work. It’s the humans behind them. So this new chapter of the podcast is about the messy middle of building a team. Think: more purpose than payroll and more community than compliance. We’re talking about what it really takes to create a workplace where people actually want to show up, not because they have to, but because they believe in what you’re building… or at the very least, because it feels great to work there. Each week, we’ll explore the people-side of small business - from leadership and management, to community and culture - with best best practices, strategies, and the occasional leadership horror story - because we’ve all got ‘em.

S2E3 Is Your Need for Control Costing You Money?

Wed Jan 14 2026

Listen

Let’s talk about how the fear of letting go is often the exact thing keeping founders stuck, whether it’s at a revenue plateau, in team chaos, or just straight-up exhausted. This episode talks about why your business can’t be built on “cement” (aka rigid control) when the world is built on constant change (market shifts, team changes, and yes… vibes). You’ll hear the difference between relinquishing control and relinquishing accountability, and why confusing those two will sink you in founder quicksand.  Listen in to hear why: Control isn’t a growth strategy, it’s usually a fear response wearing a blazer.Relinquishing control does NOT mean relinquishing accountability.Your advisors should evolve with your business, because the people who got you to $100K might not be the ones who get you to $1M.Autonomy is a culture feature. If your managers can’t make decisions, your company can’t grow (and your inbox becomes a war zone).
