Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan continue their conversation on commitment, entrepreneurial freedom, and building company structure that expands creativity instead of restricting it—with a deep dive on hiring, delegation traps, and Dan's new "Casting Not Hiring" framework.

• The "Company vs. Job" Reality Check: Why most entrepreneurs secretly built a high-paying job—and the simple test Dan uses to tell the difference.
• Reverse Delegation: The silent trap where your "help" creates more work—and how to spot it fast before it becomes your new normal.
• The 90-Day Truth Window: Why Dan won't let a wrong-fit hire linger—and how acting early saves you months of pain.
• Casting Not Hiring: Dan's theater-style framework that replaces job descriptions with roles, so your company performs like a great production.
• Buy Back 10 Hours a Week: The simplest move that can return 500 hours a year—so you finally have time to create, not just cope.
