In this episode of the RightFit Leader podcast, Alec Broadfoot and cohost Andrew Bartholomew sit down with industry transformer, coach, and bestselling author Aaron Marcum, founder of Home Care Pulse, Breakaway 365, and author of EntreThrive.

Aaron shares how his eight “laws” of entrepreneurship help visionaries accelerate financial freedom while building a meaningful life, starting with Entre Clarity and Entre Agency. He explains his concept of “guiding truths” and “breakaways,” and why true autonomy as an entrepreneur is impossible without the right team around you.

Drawing on his experience scaling and exiting Home Care Pulse, earning a master’s degree in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, and coaching home care entrepreneurs, Aaron unpacks:

• Why burnout rarely comes from “too many hours” and almost always from doing the wrong work
• How the cycling “breakaway” metaphor reveals what great visionary integrator duos look like
• The compounding impact of hiring the right integrator and trusting them early
• How positive psychology, autonomy, and the “gap and the gain” show up in entrepreneurial leadership
• The unique challenges and opportunities in the home care industry, including talent shortages and AI

If you are a visionary leader who feels stuck in the business, this conversation will challenge how you think about autonomy, team design, and what it really means to build a life and company that thrive together.
