- Welcome to DO GOOD X, hosted by Kimberly Daniel and Stephen Lewis. This episode focuses on the leadership challenges faced by early-stage founders, with valuable insights for all business owners. We discuss the common mistake of trying to manage too many aspects of the business and emphasize the importance of delegating responsibilities to your team.
