About this Event

Building a Business that Doesn't Need You

Growing a business should create more freedom—not less.

Yet many Founder-CEOs discover the opposite. Business growth brings opportunity, but also more responsibility, more complexity and less freedom.

It doesn't have to be that way.

How do you create more freedom while still enjoying growth?

This invite-only breakfast brings together a small group of Founder-CEOs and Operator-COOs. Together, you'll explore practical ways to create more freedom without sacrificing growth.

This isn't a seminar, networking event or sales pitch. It's a chance for open, honest conversation with leaders facing the same challenges. You'll share ideas, experience and practical solutions in a confidential setting.

Hosted by Jonny Goldstone and Oliver Parker, you'll explore the practical decisions, behaviours and relationships that help businesses grow with less dependence on the Founder, including the critical Founder-Operator partnership.


You'll leave with:
  • Greater clarity on where your business depends on you.
  • Practical ideas you can apply immediately to create more freedom without sacrificing growth.
  • A better understanding of the Founder–Operator relationship and how to make it work effectively.
  • New peer connections with ambitious entrepreneurial leaders.
  • A complimentary business book and other practical learning resources.
