You have heard the hype about AI. You have tried ChatGPT. Maybe you got it to write an email or summarise a document. But then you went back to doing everything the way you always have, because it did not feel like it was actually solving a real problem in your business. Mike Rhodes has been on the other side of that wall. He is the co-author of the Ultimate Guide to Google Ads (140,000+ copies sold), the creator of the 8020brain AI system, and one of the earliest adopters of Claude Code for business automation.

If you have spent years building a business only to realize that selling it means months of painful handover, lost productivity, and a lower valuation, you are not alone.

In this episode, David Jenyns sits down with Jon Butt, founder of Fire Protection Online, to unpack how Jon built an £8 million e-commerce operation that genuinely runs without him.

When every quarter brings a new wave of disruption, most small business owners default to reactive decision-making. They know they need a strategy, but the annual plan they wrote in December is already stale by March. Without a clear business strategy framework, the CEO ends up making every call alone, the team pulls in different directions, and growth stalls. In this episode, David Jenyns sits down with Kaihan Krippendorff, former McKinsey consultant and author of six books on innovation and competitive strategy, including Outthink the Competition and Proximity.

You started a business for freedom, but somewhere along the way you became the bottleneck. Every decision, every deliverable, every client issue runs through you. The hours keep climbing, the margin stays flat, and your personal life pays the price. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
