Jeff McLarty’s journey from successful business owner to leadership coach highlights a common challenge many entrepreneurs face: losing the passion that once fueled their ventures. After growing his own company from a three-person team to 25 employees before eventually selling it, Jeff now dedicates himself to coaching others through similar transitions. His focus is on “technical founders”—those who built businesses around a specific skill but now find themselves consumed by management duties. When the joy fades and leadership starts to feel like a burden, Jeff steps in to help founders reconnect with their original purpose and build systems that support sustainable growth.

One of Jeff’s key insights compares an entrepreneur’s workload to a bucket overflowing with balls—many assign themselves 60–70 hours of tasks each week, then feel like failures for completing only 45. This unrealistic pressure creates a cycle of disappointment and burnout. Jeff encourages more thoughtful planning, treating personal appointments with the same respect as business ones. He also helps clients navigate the challenges of post-pandemic work, emphasizing the need for intentional, informal team interactions to maintain culture and connection. Whether you're transitioning into leadership or simply trying to rekindle your excitement, Jeff’s approach offers clarity and direction.
