Key Quotes from This Episode
"I have found that founder growth and company growth are a flywheel effect. When one stalls, the other follows."
"Bigger is not better intrinsically. If what you really love is the freedom your business gives you and you scale up, you may find it costs you that freedom."
"You always have to start with the ultimate end in mind. What is the outcome you're shooting for?"
