Podcast Overview

Hands-Off Growth is for B2B service firm CEOs who are already winning, and ready to grow without the business depending on them. If your revenue is climbing but the weight of running it is climbing with it, this show is for you. Each episode covers the real decisions behind scaling past $3M: how to reprice your offer around outcomes, remove yourself from delivery, and build a team that drives growth without you in every room. Hosted by Mandi Ellefson - consultant, investor, and author of The Hands-Off CEO - with 17+ years and 400+ firms. Mandi has helped service firm CEOs add over $10M of growth, millions in profits. The Hands-Off Growth Operating System covered in this podcast is proven to add $5M in growth and $1M in net profit in 24 months, without the growth depending on the founder. Episodes include pricing, offer structure to move up market, and client selection. Conversations with B2B service firm CEOs detail exactly what it takes to cross a real threshold. If you are building something that compounds without you, you are in the right place. This is the Hands-OFF Growth Podcast with Mandi Ellefson.
