In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the CEO & Founder of Legacy Leadership Institute, Madeleine MacRae.

Madeleine's journey with Legacy Leadership Institute began when two successful consulting firms merged into one. This merger created a platform for people to learn and grow together, helping them achieve their goals more effectively.

Many of their clients, despite their outward success, express feelings of underachievement or uncertainty. Legacy Leadership Institute aims to simplify these challenges and guide its clients towards more tremendous success.

One of the most common concerns Madeleine hears from leaders is whether to scale or sell their business. She explains that even sustaining a business is a form of scaling, which involves improving processes, culture, and leadership.

Madeleine emphasizes the importance of developing a scalability architecture to ensure long-term success and attract potential buyers if the decision to sell is made.

Madeleine shares her guilty pleasure of watching reality TV in the evenings, and mainly Bravo shows like the Housewives series. She mentions a powerful statement by one of the housewives about the importance of sharing a secret.

By taking control of the narrative and sharing the secret oneself, it cannot be weaponized against them. This resonates with many entrepreneurs and leaders who fear being discovered or found out.

Madeleine emphasizes that everyone is making things up as they go along, even though there are tried and true best practices. Each person's unique path and execution make it feel like they are creating something new.
