How to Scale a Business How Cassie Shea Uses AI as Her Co-Founder to Scale with Soul
Hector sits down with Cassie Shea, a somatic business coach who helps high-performing founders collapse time and expand their businesses by re-engineering the one thing most people overlook: identity. Instead of leading with tactics, Cassie shares why scaling sustainably demands a transformation from within. She explains how heartache, burnout, and boredom are often signs that a founder’s identity story is misaligned with their next level. Whether you’re a $500K founder stuck in overwhelm or a $2M CEO looking for more presence and fulfillment, this episode dives deep into the inner architecture of success. Plus, Cassie reveals how she’s using AI as her co-founder to scale with soul, and offers three powerful questions to help leaders rewrite their story and unlock exponential growth.
