Founder, Get Your Life Back, is a podcast for owner-operators of founder-led businesses who are trapped by the very business they thought would give them freedom.


Hosted by Jennifer Todd, CPA, MBA, a business advisor with 28 years of experience, this show provides founders with the integrated answer most advisors never deliver: financial clarity and a team framework that works together to get you out of the weeds and into an actual leadership role in your own business.


This podcast covers the full picture of what it takes to stop being Chief Everything Officer and start leading like a CEO: conversations about small business cash flow problems and what your numbers are really telling you, the reason business owner burnout isn't a personal failing, how to raise prices without losing customers, how to delegate as a leader without watching quality fall apart, and what it takes to build a business that can run without you.


We'll answer questions like:


How do I stop being the bottleneck in my business?


How do I delegate without losing control?


How do I build a business that doesn’t depend on me?


How do I get out of the day-to-day of my business?


Why can’t I take a vacation as a business owner?


How do I hire my first employee?


How do I create systems in a small business?


How to scale a small business without burning out?


This show gives founders in skilled trades, personal services, professional services, and care businesses the financial grounding and structural framework to stop being the bottleneck and start building something they could someday step back from, sell, or hand off with confidence.


If you're a founder who's tired of being the last line of defense in your own business, Jennifer built this show for you.

    14: Fix the Founder Mindset Habits Keeping Your Business Dependent
    12 Oct 2026

    If your business still depends on you after the new software and the extra hires, a founder mindset habit you can’t see may be the reason. This episode is for the founder who wants a business that runs without draining their cash and calendar, and who is willing to look at what keeps them in the weeds.

    I talk about what happens when you take every lost client personally, and how a zone you feel safe in can quietly keep your team waiting on you. I also share why I dreaded Mondays at my own CPA firm, even though the work paid well.

    If you want to find where your business leans on you, book a 90-minute strategy session with me.

    00:00 – The Mindset Mistakes Keeping Founders Stuck

    01:22 – Separating Your Identity from Your Business

    05:36 – Comfort Zone vs. Genius Zone for Founders

    07:02 – Gatekeeping and Team Empowerment Challenges

    10:41 – Finding and Fixing the Root Causes Before Your Next Business "Fix"

  • 13: Stop Founder Dependence: Why the Usual Business Fixes Don't Last

    13: Stop Founder Dependence: Why the Usual Business Fixes Don't Last
    6 Oct 2026

    If you've already tried a dashboard, a price increase, a new hire, and some cost-cutting, and your business still depends on you, the fixes didn't fail by accident. Each one left the root cause of founder dependence untouched, so the same problem keeps coming back in a new form.

    This episode is for the founder who wants a profitable business that runs without draining their cash and calendar. I walk through why each fix falls short, from KPI dashboards to raising prices without losing customers, and what to settle first, including which of your founder subsidies hurts most before you hire anyone.

    Book a 90-minute strategy session with me to find out which root cause keeps your business dependent on you.

    00:00 – Why Your Business Still Relies on You: The Founder Subsidy Problem

    05:02 – The Dashboard Trap: What Metrics Really Matter

    11:05 – Raising Prices and Profit Leaks: Why More Revenue Doesn’t Fix Everything

    16:16 – Effectiveness Over Efficiency: Avoiding Cost-Cutting Mistakes

  • 12: How to Make Your Team and Systems Work Without You

    12: How to Make Your Team and Systems Work Without You
    21 Sep 2026

    If your business can't run without you in the room, that's not a compliment. It means profit, customer experience, or your team's decisions still run through you, and you're the one absorbing the cost.

    This episode is for the founder who's holding the whole thing together and wondering why that's starting to feel like the problem. I break down the three places that dependency usually lives: profit visibility, the customer deliverable, and team autonomy, plus the GovCon story about what happens when a system built for 20 people never gets rebuilt for 70.

    00:00 – Identifying Founder Dependency and Business Bottlenecks

    01:37 – Evaluating Profitability and Your Ability to Step Back

    05:02 – Assessing Your Involvement in Customer Deliverables

    08:10 – Empowering Your Team to Make Decisions Without You

    12:27 – Aligning To-Do Lists with Strategic Goals for Success

    16:55 – Optimizing Systems and Adapting Processes for Growth
