Are you building a business or just creating a demanding job for yourself? This illuminating conversation with entrepreneur Alykhan Jetha tackles one of the most common challenges business owners face: founder syndrome.

When you're passionate about your business, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing no one else can match your standards or care as deeply about your work. This mindset creates a dangerous bottleneck where everything must flow through you, leaving you overwhelmed, isolated, and unable to take a break. AJ shares a simple yet powerful litmus test: if you can't take a vacation, what you've built isn't truly a business - it's just another job.

We explore multiple strategies for breaking free from this trap, from the ancient practice of journaling (which even Marcus Aurelius used to process leadership challenges) to finding peer support groups where you can openly discuss your challenges with fellow entrepreneurs who truly understand your position. AJ details his own journey from overworked founder to strategic leader after discovering a counterintuitive truth: there are people who can do 60-70% of your tasks better than you can, freeing your mental bandwidth for growth or personal time.

The conversation provides a fascinating look at Daylight app, a tool specifically designed to help small service-based businesses with 1-100 employees build effective systems. But beyond the technology, the most valuable insights center around the three pillars of entrepreneurial success: good people, peer support, and effective systems that let your business thrive even when you're not present.
