Every founder pays a coach. Some just don’t call it that.
They call it burnout.
Bad hires.
Marketing flops.
Empty bank accounts and broken holidays.
Bruce Campbell has a name for it: the Dumb Tax.
And he’s on a mission to help you stop paying it.
In this episode, Bruce Campbell, co-founder and CEO of the Entrepreneurial Business School shares what 21 years of business coaching has taught him about why smart entrepreneurs get stuck, stay stuck — and keep bleeding money while trying to figure it out alone.
You’ll hear:
• Why “I’ll figure it out myself” is the most expensive lie in business
• How hiring a coach is actually cheaper than doing nothing
• The signs you’re stuck in a job disguised as a business
• What freedom actually looks like (hint: it’s not a week in Bali worrying about Slack)
• And how Bruce’s own business success led him to building a life-saving foundation in Uganda
This episode’s not about theory. It’s about what happens when you stop guessing and get help that actually moves the needle.
🔥 Payoff:
You’re already paying for help. You’re just doing it the hard way.
Bruce shows you the better way — and how to get out of Dumb Tax Jail for free.
👇 Why Listen:
• You haven’t taken a proper break in years — and even thinking about one makes you anxious
• Your team relies on you for everything — and it’s not sustainable
• You’ve wasted money on bad hires and broken systems
• You don’t want to micromanage — but you don’t trust letting go
• You’re stuck in a business that was supposed to set you free
• You keep telling yourself “next quarter” — but nothing changes
