In this sharp and strategy-rich episode, I sit down with Emily Stubbs, a legal expert turned Visibility CFO—to unpack the real reasons many visionary founders struggle with growth, margins, and funding readiness.

Emily shares why popularity doesn’t equal profitability and how vague P&Ls are killing your ability to scale.

You’ll learn why segmentation in your finances isn't optional, how to spot when a service is a loss leader, and why having the right people and structure trumps having more people.

If you're a founder trying to grow sustainably, attract outside capital, or prepare for investor conversations, this episode is packed with game-changing insights you can’t afford to miss.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

✅ How to identify what’s actually driving (or draining) your margin

✅ The power of segmented P&Ls and strategic visibility

✅ What most leaders misunderstand about AI, operations, and capacity

✅ Why founders must redefine what "working" looks like before scaling

✅ When to leverage fractional experts (like CFOs and growth strategists)

✅ How to stage your company for funding the way you’d stage a home for sale

✅ Want to Keep Growing Without Losing Clients?
