In this episode of We Live To Build with Sean Weisbrot, we speak to Jeff Mains, the Founder and CEO of Champion Leadership Group, a growth accelerator which helps entrepreneurs scale their business from US$1 to US$10 million.
Mains is also the Founder and CEO of Intelligent Contacts, a SaaS platform that helps hospitals make their billing as great as their bedside manner. Before these two businesses, he previously started and sold four additional businesses that were each grossing over US$10 million annually.
Apart from that, Mains is also the Host of SaaS Fuel, a podcast started almost a year ago that seeks to help founders spark creative thinking on their wild journey of entrepreneurship.

Additionally, the conversation delves into potential pitfalls, such as hiring the wrong individuals and the significance of structured processes for company growth. Cultural fit in hiring processes and leadership growth are explored, underlining the importance of finding the right fit for an organisation.
