Good Business with Clay Vaughan
Good Business with Clay Vaughan is a podcast about building companies that actually matter. Not just ones that grow, but ones that last. Ones that honor God, care for people, and create real value in the world.
Every week, Clay sits down with entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who are walking that road in their own way. The conversations aren’t fluffy or surface-level. They get into the hard stuff—how to lead through chaos, how to build culture when it’s easier to cut corners, and how to keep purpose front and center when profit is shouting in your ear.
It’s a show about the kind of business most people want to run but few actually figure out. You’ll hear wins and mistakes, stories and strategies, but more importantly—you’ll hear what it looks like to run a business that’s both good at what it does and good for the people it touches.
If you want to grow, lead well, and make an impact that outlives you, this is your place.

Why CEOs Shouldn’t Have a To-Do List | Aaron Hayslip
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the most valuable thing in your company is not your product, your technology or even your team, but your time and attention as a founder?
In this episode of Good Business, Aaron Hayslip shares his journey from earning $9 an hour at a Honda dealership to becoming a software engineer, building coding schools, working at Coinbase and eventually creating Freed Up. Aaron explains why CEOs should focus on decisions, people and opportunities instead of task lists, and how better systems and delegation can help founders become more effective without sacrificing their families or the rest of their lives.
Clay Vaughan, Luke Frazier and Aaron also dig into the changing role of executive assistants, why delegation means giving someone responsibility instead of simply handing off tasks, and how AI is reshaping the way founders work. Aaron shares why he believes AI can execute tasks exceptionally well, but that ownership, context and responsibility still matter.
