About this listen
Mike Minard spent 20 years bootstrapping Delta Media Group into a SaaS company serving 40,000 real estate professionals. Then he burned out and stepped away. What happened next almost cost him everything he built.
In this episode, Mike shares the hard truth about founder burnout, what happens when you stop watching the metrics, and why he had to step back in and blow things up. He talks about firing an entire department for core value violations, halting sales for a year to fix internal issues, and why the company that doubled in revenue had actually lost its way.
We dig into:
- The real cost of stepping away without the right systems
- Why metrics matter down to the seat level
- The moment he knew something was one degree off
- How his leadership team stepped into support roles overnight
- Why AI adoption has to come from the top
If you've ever wondered what happens when you take your hands off the wheel, this one's a wake-up call.
