In this episode of Delegate to Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie Schutz sits down with Brooke Duffy, a go-to-market and revenue leader who helps B2B SaaS and services companies turn growth ambition into clear, repeatable execution.

Brooke shares what it really takes to scale without burning out ...including the difference between delegation vs. fully handing something off, why the hardest clients are often the ones who won’t delegate, and how “Subject Matter Experts” can become a secret weapon for messaging, alignment, and trust inside a company.

And yes ...we go beyond business delegation too. Brooke tells the story of the best delegation decision she ever made at home (hint: it involves a housekeeper and instant relief).

If you’re a founder, leader, operator, or professional service provider trying to grow while staying human, this one will hit.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How Brooke makes growth repeatable in scaling companies

Why clients who won’t delegate create a lose-lose situation

How SMEs help align teams and strengthen sales + marketing

How to use your network to support clients without doing it all yourself

Why delegating isn’t only about time ...it’s also about peace of mind

The leadership nuance: delegate, but stay connected to outcomes (“trust but verify”)

In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie Schutz sits down with Bobbie & Mika (“The Bees”), the mother-daughter duo behind Stories Office Bees, to talk delegation, operations support, and what founders often get wrong when they say they “need admin help.” They break down admin vs operations, explain how strong systems (SOPs, workflows, consistent customer communication) impact cash flow and client experience, and share how they tackle inbox organization, bookkeeping cleanup, and process improvements… including what it looks like to dive into a 15,000-email inbox. If you’re a small business owner, service provider, or founder trying to get time back, reduce back-office stress, and build a business that runs smoothly, this conversation delivers practical steps, real talk about trust, and a few mic-drop moments on what delegation requires to actually work.

• What a first PR strategy call should include (goals, audience, positioning)

• Why PR is not “go viral”… it’s sustained trust and consistent presence
• How to delegate support in your business so visibility doesn’t break your delivery

In this guest episode, Bonnie talks with Lisa Levy, a business strategist and founder of L-Cubed Consulting, about what it really takes to build a business that can grow without relying on you for every decision. They dig into why people and process come before technology, how to use AI intentionally (without chasing shiny objects), and why delegation starts with handing off what doesn’t bring you joy. Lisa also drops a definition of “future proof” that every founder can measure… can you step away for 30 days and trust the business to keep moving?

What happens when you build a business with your spouse... and you both want to be in charge? In this episode, Brittany Drozd breaks down the real keys to making it work: role clarity, swim lanes, weekly leadership meetings, and how a simple contract can protect your relationship and your business.

We also get into a practical “capacity audit” you can use with any team member: identify what’s not getting done, what’s stealing weekends, and what they wish they could stop doing. That list becomes the start of your next job description... and a smarter way to grow without burning people out.

If you’re delegating for the first time (or recovering from a hire that went sideways), Brittany shares a trust-building framework that expands responsibility without micromanagement... plus a reminder every founder needs: there’s no playbook, so stop trying to do it all alone.

Ashley Dodge is the founder of Some Startup in Colorado, a marketing consultancy for founders, authors, speakers, and creatives building something meaningful. In this episode, Ashley and Bonnie get real about what delegation can look like when you’re a solopreneur, especially when you’ve been burned before.

They dig into a concept Bonnie calls a “first” on the show… delegating temporarily. Think: bring in a pro to set something up, clean it up, create the system, then dip out once you can run with it. Ashley also shares why visibility matters more than most founders realize, including the “old website copy” problem (yep, Google still thinks you do that thing you stopped doing years ago). Then we go practical with tools and automation, including a Calendly workflow nugget that can save serious time and reduce email back-and-forth.

If you want more momentum with less mental load, you’re going to love this one.

Paige Weiss, founder and CEO of Tree Ring Digital, joins Bonnie Schutz for a candid conversation about delegation, websites that reflect your credibility, and why your site still matters even if you run on referrals.

Paige shares what she outsourced first as she scaled from freelancer to agency owner, how documenting processes (and recording training videos) changed everything, and why brand consistency online is not optional anymore.

If you’ve been DIY’ing your site, avoiding updates, or feeling stuck being the bottleneck … this one’s for you.
