Getting Out of Your Own Way: Unlocking Your Impact w/ Stavros Michailidis

Stavros Michailidis didn’t plan to become a founder. He simply grew up around it. From revitalizing his family’s construction business to landing Fortune 500 clients with an innovation consultancy, his path has been shaped by experimentation, reinvention, and a deep curiosity about what makes businesses actually work. In this episode, he reflects on the difference between an A-plus idea and a B-plus outcome, why most hiring mistakes start with ego, and what it means to build something because it matters, even if it never scales.
