LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU WANT SOME OF MY BIGGEST LESSONS OF WHAT IT TAKES TO GROW A PRODUCT BASED BUSINESS

We’re hitting a major milestone…400 episodes of the Small Business Growth Podcast!

After six years of consulting hundreds of founders, seeing behind the curtain of household name brands, and helping product based businesses go from scrappy startup to category leader, I’ve learned one truth: strategy matters, but who you become as a founder matters more

In this episode, I’m pulling from everything I’ve seen, taught, and lived. The mindset shifts, daily habits, and hard truths that actually build lasting brands. If you’ve ever wondered what separates the ones who make it from the ones who stall, this is the episode to listen to

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why the founder is the biggest variable in a brand’s success and how to step into the CEO your business needs

• How business becomes the ultimate personal growth journey and why every new level brings new challenges

• The balance between fast action and smart execution and how to move with both speed and strategy

• The art and science of brand building blending aesthetics, story, and data driven decisions

• Why even the most successful founders have “burn it all down” days and how they move through them

• Why visibility too soon can hurt your business more than help it

• The truth about the “perfect” brands you see online and what’s actually happening behind the scenes

• Why direct to consumer is still the most powerful growth engine even in a world of retailers, stockists, and marketplaces
