Invest in You is a global podcast where Fredrik Sandvall shares ideas and conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and operators. The show explores investing, entrepreneurship, AI, and personal development with a focus on long-term value, ownership, and clear decision-making.
Occasionally joined by his sons, Charlie and Ivan, the podcast blends experience with a next-generation perspective. The goal is simple: help you think better, act with intent, and build a life and portfolio that compound over time.
In this insightful episode, Fredrik sits down with Jesse P. Gilmore, a seasoned business strategist and author of ‘The Leverage for Growth Method’. Jesse shares his transformative journey from being a micromanager working 80-hour weeks across three dissolving businesses to becoming a visionary CEO of Niche in Control. Their conversation delves into the concept of ‘founder-independent’ businesses, the dangers of single points of failure, and how to reclaim your time and freedom by prioritising personal well-being through the ‘Body, Being, Balance, and Business’ framework.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Success starts with the ‘Body, Being, Balance, and Business’ hierarchy. By putting your health and relationships before business, you actually become more present and effective as a leader.
A business that relies solely on the founder is a ‘monster’ that traps you. Growth requires building systems and teams so the business can function without your constant intervention.
A seven-day time log is a powerful tool to identify ‘energy uplifting’ versus ‘energy draining’ tasks. This clarity allows you to eliminate, automate, delegate, or time-block effectively.
Use AI to handle non-value-added tasks and polish your own creative ideas. The goal is to move from being a subject matter expert/operator to a visionary CEO.
In a world saturated with AI-generated content, raw and honest communication creates a lasting ‘recall’ with your audience. People yearn for real human experiences and connection.
BEST MOMENTS
“97% who quit are employed by the 3% that never gave up.”
“A founder-independent business is really where the founder is able to work in the business when they want to, but mostly they are empowering others to run the business for them.”
“Investing in myself meant that I put myself first. Focus on your health first, then your connection with God, then balance (family), and business comes last.”
“No data transfers should be done by a human anymore.”
“Legacy isn’t just financial; it’s the memories, traditions, and experiences you do with your kids that they’ll pass on to theirs.”
