Are you a visionary founder drowning in the day-to-day operations of your business? You can’t scale if you are the bottleneck.

In this episode of Mind of All Trades, host Pol Cousineau sits down with Kathleen Berio, the Director of Operations at The Digital Navigator and the ultimate "Implementer" to Pol’s "Visionary." Over the last decade, Kathleen has mastered the art of turning complex visions into streamlined, actionable realities. Together, they pull back the curtain on the founder-operator dynamic and share exactly how to transition from doing it all to building a business that can sustainably scale.
