William Bissett, founder of Portus Wealth Advisors, joins Craig Andrews to unpack what it really takes to lead a company that survives and thrives beyond its founder. William shares how watching his father struggle in solo practice shaped his commitment to team building. His insight is simple but powerful: don’t just hire talent—hire people who fill your gaps, not mirror them.

The episode cuts through leadership myths and focuses on what makes businesses last—trust, delegation, and the willingness to let go. William shares his approach to building high-performance teams using tools like the Culture Index, but emphasizes that real success comes from empowering people to grow—even if that means they eventually leave.

For William, leadership isn’t about control—it’s about legacy. That means creating wins for your people, investing in their growth, and building a culture that celebrates progress. It’s leadership with humility and a long view.
