I had the right people, the right service, and a solid model, yet we stalled. The issue wasn’t skill; it was me leading like an individual contributor, parachuting into client work and quietly killing ownership. In this episode, I share how shifting to clear communication, simple systems, and real autonomy unlocked the team—why not taking over, inviting honest feedback, and letting people own the client is what makes everything explode in the right direction.

No scripts, no polished speeches - just honest reflections on business, creativity, and whatever else is on my mind. My own personal diary.

Most people bend their lives to fit the crowd - then resent themselves for it. In this episode, I talk about dropping the guilt around wanting more, the three-week reset that helped me audit everything (socials off, deep reflection, notebook out), and the shift from quantity to quality: clearer rules, saying no, and designing life like a business. Don’t take a vacation to escape - change the route, fix recurring problems, and trade them for bigger, better ones.

A business that stops failing has already stopped growing. In this episode, I share what I learned when my team hit a standstill, why avoiding mistakes kills innovation, and how building a culture where people feel safe to fail is the only way to keep a company alive long-term.
