S8-Ep2: What Leaders Won’t Talk About (When Scaling their Business)

Guest: Greg Moran

When young companies scale their business, there are many challenges…some obvious, and some no one talks about. Greg Moran joins the show for a discussion about the topics that are often avoided.  Some have even been considered taboo!  We’ll learn about back-office processes and tooling, hiring and diversity, space: culture and people, keeping the value chain in balance, pricing and value creation, establishing ESG processes, and minimizing distraction. It’s a primer for entrepreneurs on the threshold of growth!

Here's what Greg and Maureen cover:

• The struggles that happened before the start-up success stories everyone publicizes;
• Why scaling the back office is just as important as scaling your product or service; and
• How truth with your growing staff is critical to continued success.
