Founders don't struggle because they lack systems. They struggle because they try to systemize work they don't fully understand yet.

In Part Two of this conversation on The $100 Million Mindset, Todd Liles sits down with Ryan Fenn, CEO of Chiirp, to unpack a hard-earned truth about scale, leadership, and growth:

You can't systemize what you don't understand.

This episode goes deeper into why founder-led hustle isn't something to escape, it's how clarity, conviction, and real systems are built. Ryan shares what he learned by staying close to sales, messaging, and execution before ever handing things off.

These aren't theories. They're lessons earned the hard way.
