    How Patrick Doyle Brown Built Global Teams to Scale Businesses While Maintaining High Quality

    Founders don’t scale by working harder; they scale by capturing the “essence” of the work locally, then documenting, delegating, and automating the repeatable parts with the right global talent. In this conversation, systems architect Patrick Doyle Brown explains how retention outperforms simple labor arbitrage, why automations need human oversight, how to map a customer journey before you spend on acquisition, and practical first wins like offloading social monitoring, inbox triage, and competitor price tracking into an AI-assisted loop. We cover region-by-strength role matching, the “first 100” rule for founders, and the mindset that keeps growth durable: don’t overspend, avoid shiny objects, always be selling.

    How Justin Rashidi Hires for “Smart Problem Solvers” Over Experience

    In this episode of How to Scale a Business, host Hector Santiesteban talks with Justin Rashidi, co-founder of SeedX, about why he hires for “smart problem solvers” over experience and how that philosophy fuels growth. Justin explains why many companies that think they have a marketing issue are actually facing problems with data, sales integration, or margins, and how understanding core metrics like CAC, LTV, and gross margin reframes decisions as investments. He shares why rigid frameworks fail compared to a flexible tool-belt approach, how cutting the wrong activities can literally save millions, and why AI—though often misunderstood—is transforming processes. Ultimately, he highlights that a company’s growth is often limited not by its market, but by the adaptability of its leadership Chapters: 00:00:00 - Welcome to How to Scale a Business Podcast00:00:54 - What SeedX Does: Business Consulting for Marketing, Sales, and Tech 00:02:11 - The Real Reasons Companies Aren't Growing 00:04:05 - A "Tool Belt" vs. "Recipe" Approach to Consulting 00:04:47 - The Importance of Understanding Core Business Metrics 00:06:29 - The Emotional "Therapy" Aspect of Business Consulting 00:07:33 - Balancing Bespoke Strategy with Flexible Processes 00:08:51 - Key Metrics Owners Overlook: CAC, LTV, and Margins 00:12:47 - Is AI Overhyped or Underhyped? 00:14:13 - The Power of Tightly Scoped AI 00:16:01 - A Practical Approach: Using AI for Tasks You Don't Want to Do 00:17:59 - How Resistant Organizations Can Start with AI 00:19:30 - Advice for Early-Stage Scaling: Prepare for People and Operations 00:21:06 - Where to Find Justin Rashidi Online 00:21:58 - Leadership Self-Transformation Links And Resources: SeedX WebsiteJustin on LinkedInJustin on InstagramJustin on Twitter/XAmplafy MediaHector Santiesteban on LinkedInHector Santiesteban on Twitter Thanks so much for joining us this week.
