Learn how to grow and scale a business without losing your way. Most business podcasts promise "10x growth," "overnight hacks," and "crushing the competition." But for the founder in the thick of it, those words often feel like more noise in an already loud room. Real growth isn't about moving faster; it's about taking intentional steps built around processes, culture, and leadership. Every week, John (AKA Small Mountain) Hill interviews Founders, Creators, Coaches, and Industry Leaders who have done the work, made the mistakes, and learned how to achieve lasting, sustainable success. No silver bullets or quick fixes; we talk about how they overcame the unsustainable systems, the leadership bottlenecks, and the mental shifts required to build a business that actually serves your life. If you are a founder who feels like you're working harder but gaining less ground, this is your space. No lectures or fluff—just the experienced insights you need to build a resilient, impactful business. New episodes every Thursday.

  • Escaping Founder Burnout, Bad Revenue, & Sales Leadership Pitfalls | Will Aitken

    Escaping Founder Burnout, Bad Revenue, & Sales Leadership Pitfalls | Will Aitken
    2026/09/10

    In this episode of The Founders Growth Show, host John Hill, AKA Small Mountain, sits down with Will Aitken, Sales Trainer, Consultant, and Author, to discuss the realities of transitioning from a high-performing sales role to running your own business.

    Will breaks down the dangerous trap of "bad revenue," explaining how saying yes to every client opportunity leads to fulfillment friction, burnout, and unsustainable operations.

    This enlightening conversation explores:

    • Founder mindset,
    • Managing ADHD and focus without relying on crutches,
    • And why traditional quick-fix sales workshops fail to produce real behavioral change in B2B selling teams.

    Will also shares practical frameworks for maintaining mental resilience, including his daily check-in routine for high-stress founders.

    If you feel like you're drowning in work that doesn't light you up, Will's founder journey is the compass you need to find your way into a more fulfilling life and business.

  • Intentional Leadership vs. Mediocre Management | Jesan Sorrells

    Intentional Leadership vs. Mediocre Management | Jesan Sorrells
    2026/09/03

    Are you driving long-term alignment, or are you hiding behind short-term vanity metrics?

    In this re-released episode of Founder's Growth, host John Hill (aka Small Mountain) sits down with Jesan Sorrells—author of 12 Rules for Leaders, Podcast Host, and Principal Consultant at Leadership Toolbox—to explore the operational differences between basic task management and intentional leadership.

    Together, they unpack:

    • Why accidental promotions create hidden friction,
    • How mediocre leadership erodes company culture,
    • How founders can audit their own blind spots,

    And so much more.

    Jesan shares practical frameworks for moving past quick-fix tactics, front-loading culture during sales hiring and onboarding, and systematically removing performance roadblocks to help your entire team achieve sustainable growth.

    If you're ready to step up into true leadership, not just task management, this interview will help you start that climb to success.

  • The Go-To-Network Playbook: How Warm Intros Beat Cold Outbound with David Connors

    The Go-To-Network Playbook: How Warm Intros Beat Cold Outbound with David Connors
    2026/08/27

    In this episode of The Founder's Growth Show, host John "Small Mountain" Hill sits down with David Connors, Co-Founder and CEO of The Swarm. David breaks down why traditional cold outreach and spray-and-pray outbound sales playbooks are failing and introduces the "Go To Network" paradigm.

    We explore David's journey from working in-house at Sequoia Capital to founding The Swarm, and we discuss how top-performing startup founders leverage investor networks for hiring, fundraising, and sales growth.

    David also candidly shares:

    • How he pivoted his business when market dynamics changed,
    • The three core founder archetypes,
    • Why building products with your clients is more beneficial than building on your own,
    • And why fostering long-term relationships creates compounding returns for early-stage companies.

    If your cold outbound efforts aren't providing the ROI you're looking for, this interview is a masterclass in how to shift your efforts.
