The E.N.G.I.N.E. Framework for Scaling Your Business in 2027 with Founder & Executive Coach of Leader’s Edge, HR Huntsman

What if the reason your business isn’t growing is you? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, leadership coach and Leader’s Edge founder HR Huntsman shares what 35 years of building companies taught him about scaling, leadership, and culture. He grew his first organization to more than 200 staff across five countries, and he learned most of it the hard way. HR breaks down his E.N.G.I.N.E. framework, the six systems every business runs on, from your foundation and team to strategy, accountability, processes, and profit. You’ll hear why carrots and sticks don’t create real accountability, how mastery, autonomy, and purpose actually motivate people, and why the best leaders ask great questions instead of having all the answers. If you’re a founder feeling stretched thin or struggling to keep great people, this one’s for you. HR also gets real about charging what you’re worth, building a destination workplace top talent never wants to leave, and choosing significance over success.
