Lead Lighter.
Growth was supposed to feel like progress. Instead it feels heavier, because everything still runs through you. I help founders build the team and systems that carry the company, so you can step out of the day-to-day without losing what made it work in the first place.

Why founders trust GoodKnight Consulting
I'm Logan McKnight. I spent nearly 20 years in med-tech, starting in the operating room and ending up running an international company with teams across the U.S. and India.
I know what happens when a business outgrows its founder, because it happened to me. Every decision routed through my desk until I built the leadership team and systems that could run without me.
Now I help founders do the same: step out of the day-to-day, lead as the CEO, and build a company that doesn't need you in every room.
The founder trap
You built something you are proud of. Then somewhere along the way, it all started to depend on you. Every decision. Every escalation. Every dropped ball. They all find their way back to your desk.
If the company only grows when you're in the room, you become the very thing limiting it.
Does it feel like you’re still at the center of every decision?

Sound Familiar?
None of this means you're failing. It means the company has outgrown the way it's being run. That's a good problem, if you fix the right thing.
You can't tell if your leadership team is the problem, or if you are
You're the smartest person in the room, and the loneliest one in it
Good initiatives launch with energy, then die because no one owns them
Your team waits for you to decide instead of deciding
You can't step away for a week without things wobbling
Every bit of growth adds weight instead of breathing room
