Bradley Hamner - Founder of BlueprintOS

Business Leaders of America Podcast

Welcome to another episode of the Business Leaders of America podcast. In this episode, we're joined by Bradley Hamner, a business growth coach, serial entrepreneur, and the Founder of BlueprintOS. Bradley's mission is to help business owners and entrepreneurs transition from being the Rainmaker—where everything depends on them—to becoming the Architect of a business that runs smoothly without their constant involvement.

Bradley's journey is both inspiring and relatable. After a stress-related health scare at the age of 34, he realized that his business was running him, not the other way around. This led to the creation of BlueprintOS, a comprehensive system that empowers entrepreneurs to design, build, and implement organizational structures that drive growth, scalability, and freedom. As the host of the Above the Business podcast, Bradley shares strategies every week to help entrepreneurs install the systems and processes needed to create a business that works for them.

In today's conversation, we dive into his personal journey, the Rainmaker’s Dilemma, and how BlueprintOS provides a clear roadmap for business owners ready to scale without losing their freedom. We also explore his approach to designing winning playbooks, his advice for entrepreneurs who are stuck working 'in' the business, and much more.
