| Ellen Bathgate & Matt Arnold Most business owners know they need help. Few actually make the leap. For Ellen, the turning point came after her husband Matt’s serious motorcycle accident forced them to rethink everything. What followed was a bold decision to bring Matt into the business as General Manager, with a clear condition. If it didn’t work within 12 months, he would step away. In this session, Ellen and Matt share how they made that transition work. How they set boundaries to protect their relationship, and how they’ve navigated the shift from founder-led to Matt’s leadership. They’ll talk openly about what it takes to let go, how to bring the right person into your business, and how to stop being the bottleneck without losing control. If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t keep doing all of this myself,” this session will show you what’s actually possible. |
