    Ep #17 - Control and Leadership in Business

    Send us a text In today’s episode, Shehan gets honest about something most founders secretly struggle with: control. When you’re building something from scratch, control feels necessary. It gives you certainty, structure, and safety. But over time, it can quietly become the thing that holds your business and your team back. He shares how he went from being a proud control freak (across every client file, email, and pixel of the brand palette) to learning the art of leadership; trusting people, setting direction, and creating clarity instead of chaos. You’ll hear how this shift changed everything: his mindset, his team culture, and his business’s ability to grow. This isn’t a management lecture. It’s a raw reflection on what happens when you stop holding the steering wheel so tightly and finally start leading.

    Ep #12 - Revenue Lies We Tell Ourselves

    Send us a text We’ve all told ourselves the lie:  “If I just make X dollars, I’ll finally feel safe.”  “If I hit that milestone, the stress will go away.”  But the truth? Revenue doesn’t save you. It amplifies what’s already broken. In this episode, Shehan breaks down the revenue lies we tell ourselves, why hitting financial goals rarely feels the way we expect, and how chasing numbers for the sake of it can push you into bad decisions. I share my own mistakes from obsessing over revenue and what I focus on now instead; building alignment, sustainability, and a business that actually lasts. This is not a conversation about ignoring money. It’s about putting revenue in its place - as a tool, not the whole game. If you’ve ever hit a goal and still felt empty, this one’s for you.
