Welcome to the very first episode of Vision To Grow, where we ditch the cookie-cutter advice and get real about what actually works for founders in fast-growing, service-based businesses.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why most traditional leadership tips fall flat for startups, and what to do instead. If you’re scaling quickly, feeling the pressure, and trying to lead a team while still doing all the things... this one’s for you.

We’re diving into:

✨ Why corporate-style leadership advice often misses the mark for scrappy, fast-moving startups
✨ The hidden reasons founders burn out when they follow the “textbook” playbook
✨ The Scalable Success Wheel. My proven framework for building teams that grow with you, not drain you
✨ What intentional, aligned leadership really looks like when you’re in the trenches
✨ Why systemising, hiring right, and creating culture isn’t optional—it’s foundational

You don’t need to become a textbook CEO.
You need leadership tools that actually fit the business you’re building.

👑 Ready to step into leadership that feels aligned, scalable, and sustainable? Let’s go.
