In this episode of How to Scale a Business, Dr. Lani Jones—clinical psychologist, executive advisor, and founder of HBL Advisory Group—joins host Hector Santiesteban to explore how internal growth fuels scalable success. Drawing from her transition out of corporate healthcare and into entrepreneurship, Dr. Jones unpacks the powerful role of emotional intelligence, communication, and self-leadership in building high-performing teams.

Whether you’re leading a small team or scaling a growing company, this conversation reveals how investing in yourself and your people is not just good practice—it’s smart business.
