Growth is addictive. But scaling too quickly doesn’t just stretch a business, it exposes it.
Most founders discover this too late. Revenue climbs, but margins shrink. The team grows, but culture fractures. Systems can’t keep up, cash flow tightens, and what looked like success starts to feel like survival.
This masterclass is about fixing that before it breaks you.
WHAT WE COVER
01 The Hare vs. The Tortoise: two archetypes of scaling, and why speed without structure always loses
02 Real failures decoded: WeWork, Quibi, and Pets.com: what the illusions hid and what actually broke them

06 Diagnosing your business: are you a Hare or a Tortoise right now, and what to do about it
