If you feel like you're drowning in emails, meetings, and never-ending to-do lists, chances are you're the bottleneck in your own business—and it’s costing you time, energy, and profit.

In this episode of The Renaissance Podcast, Mike O’Connor, Founder & CEO of NexusPoint, and Kimeran Johnson, Partner & COO, reveal the one thing successful CEOs master that struggling entrepreneurs avoid: delegation.

Mike, a serial entrepreneur who built and sold multiple businesses with $30M+ in annual revenue before the age of 32, shares how he pivoted from real estate to launching NexusPoint, a global talent sourcing firm designed to help entrepreneurs scale quickly and cost-effectively. Alongside Kimeran, who brings decades of executive leadership and scaling experience, they break down:
✅ The biggest mindset shifts that separate overwhelmed founders from thriving CEOs
✅ Why hiring a virtual or executive assistant (VA) is a game-changer for business growth
✅ The most impactful tasks to delegate that entrepreneurs often overlook
✅ How to identify the right moment to bring in support—and avoid common hiring mistakes
✅ How outsourcing can actually increase profitability and prevent burnout

If you’ve been holding on too tightly to your to-do list, this episode is your permission slip to delegate, streamline, and scale smarter.
