Success introduces new failure modes.

And I think that's what we should focus on today is understanding the challenges that come with that.

What do you think?

Cool.

Let's get started.

I think the place I'd want to start is talking about the idea that many businesses die not from lack of demand, but from mishandling growth.

And I think that's definitely topical.

I think it's weird, right?

How do you die from having too much growth?

Like my steak is too juicy.

The lobster is too buttery.

How does that happen?

Oh, as Scott, the SVP on our team, likes to say, sometimes that's just type three fun and that's just not fun.

Exactly.

I think for me, it's almost the transition from individual willpower and individual charisma and talent into do you have a system or not?

Because there's so many things that scale, but your time, your attention, knowing where to focus.
