Gary shares his journey from a solo practice to leading a thriving 11-person firm — without being stuck in the day-to-day operations.

Also, he reveals the key turning points that helped him step back from client work, the systems that allowed his team to run the business smoothly, and the mindset shifts that made it all possible.
