Get Noticed! Send a text. Every founder pays a coach. Some just don’t call it that. They call it burnout. Bad hires. Marketing flops. Empty bank accounts and broken holidays. Bruce Campbell has a name for it: the Dumb Tax. And he’s on a mission to help you stop paying it. In this episode, Bruce Campbell, co-founder and CEO of the Entrepreneurial Business School shares what 21 years of business coaching has taught him about why smart entrepreneurs get stuck, stay stuck - and keep bleeding money while trying to figure it out alone. You’ll hear: Why “I’ll figure it out myself” is the most expensive lie in business How hiring a coach is actually cheaper than doing nothing The signs you’re stuck in a job disguised as a business What freedom actually looks like (hint: it’s not a week in Bali worrying about Slack) And how Bruce’s own business success led him to building a life-saving foundation in Uganda This episode’s not about theory. It’s about what happens when you stop guessing and get help that actually moves the needle. Payoff: You’re already paying for help. You’re just doing it the hard way. Bruce shows you the better way - and how to get out of Dumb Tax Jail for free.
