"After 14 years building Hillcrest from a 12-person shop into a 240-employee operation, I've realized that scaling without sharpening my own leadership has become the real bottleneck. I want a forum of peers who will speak truth to me, hold me accountable to integrate my faith into every operational decision, and challenge me to steward this company well — not just grow it."

Specific, mature, and self-aware. Names the precise leadership gap and frames growth as stewardship.
