In this episode of the Founder Problems Podcast, Sarah Schumacher, Zach Oshinbanjo, and Lee Zuvanich forget to record the intro, discuss Zach’s construction management wins, insurance annoyance, and go down a couple rabbit holes (listing sites and project management). Sarah talks about the struggle to slow down long enough to delegate, and how rebranding never ends, while Lee shares his final fear frontier (making video content) and how the pursuit of perfection can be dangerous. We also share what seems like an obvious-in-hindsight fail for this very podcast business, because this is Founder Problems, after all.
