What a COO Actually Does (And How I Became One)

My full-time job became figuring out how to not have a job at all. Part 2 of my backstory: the company grew so fast I was wearing every hat — 300 emails a day, panic attacks, touching everything and owning nothing. Then a coach gave me one assignment that changed how I work, Blake called me into a closed-door meeting, and I had to learn what a Chief Operating Officer even was. Plus the honest differences between managing mobile home parks, apartments, and single family.
