Most founders think scaling means one of two things.
Approve everything and become the bottleneck. Or delegate everything and watch quality slip.


There is a third option. Almost nobody talks about it.
It is a small shift in how decisions get made, but it changes everything.
I just dropped a new video on switching from approval mode to veto mode, and why this single change can give you speed without losing quality.
If your company feels slower the bigger it gets, this is worth watching.


Question for you: Where do you struggle more right now, moving fast or maintaining quality?

Lately I’ve been hearing the same thing from founders everywhere:
“I used to handle hard things easily. Now I can’t even start.”

If you feel more distracted than usual or strangely unable to begin meaningful work, there is a real reason for that. Your brain has been running on fast dopamine from constant notifications, short-form content, and quick hits of stimulation. Over time, that rewires your motivation system and makes difficult tasks feel overwhelming.

I just released a new video on this. It breaks down what is happening inside your brain, why procrastination is not a personal flaw, and how to rebuild slow dopamine so your focus returns.

If hard things have been feeling heavier lately, this might explain why.

Founders, quick question for you.
Have you ever looked at your hiring plan and thought,
“Why does this feel like chaos instead of scale?”
This week’s video is for you.

I just read a new chapter from my upcoming book, and it breaks down the trap most founders fall into when they start hiring fast.
If you’re thinking about opening new roles, building a team, or feeling investor pressure to “move quicker”, this will help you avoid the mistakes that quietly break companies.

Hard work builds your startup.
But at some point, it starts breaking it.

Calendar full, hands empty.
Busy all day, yet the company is not moving the way it should.

In this new video, I break down the moment when hard work stops working, and the leadership shift you need to make to actually scale.

Comfort is the enemy.

It sounds harsh, but every founder I’ve ever coached eventually learns it the hard way.
Growth never feels comfortable. It’s awkward. It’s uncertain. It’s that moment when you’d rather play it safe… but you choose to lean in instead.
That tension between fear and progress, that’s where you grow.

And the truth is, if you stay comfortable too long, you stop evolving.
In this week’s video, I share what “comfort is the enemy” really means, how to tell the difference between healthy discomfort and burnout, and why leaning into small, uncomfortable moments is the fastest way to grow as a founder and a human being.

Have you ever caught yourself avoiding something just because it made you uncomfortable, even though you knew it might help you grow?
Tell me in the comments. Let’s talk about it.

Before you hire a coach, watch this.
Most founders reach out when something’s already on fire.
But not all “help” is the same.
In this week’s video, I break down the real difference between an advisor, a mentor, and a coach, and how to know which one you actually need.
Plus, I’m giving away a free book chapter and sharing the reading list that helped me the most as a founder.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you need advice, accountability, or real transformation, this one will make things crystal clear.
Who’s been the most impactful in your journey so far, an advisor, a mentor, or a coach?

Most founders think the fastest way to grow is to charge less.
But in reality, that’s often the reason their growth stalls.
Your price tells the market what your product is worth, and if you set it too low, you train people to undervalue you.
This week’s video breaks down how to charge more without losing customers by shifting from “cost-based” to value-based pricing.
We’ll talk about:
-The 4 ways your product creates value (and how to measure them)
-Why customers happily pay more when they feel the return
-How to raise prices without pushback or guilt
If you’re a founder scaling from pilot pricing to real pricing, this one’s a must-watch.

Ever feel like your to-do list is running your life?
That used to be me.
Until I discovered a system that finally worked, timeboxing + saying no.
This week’s video is about building focus, boundaries, and actual freedom into your schedule.
It’s not about cramming more in. It’s about making room for what matters.

Most people chase productivity by adding more.
More apps. More hacks. More pressure.
