Growth Pains

Ignacio Gallegos

Honest and vulnerable conversations about the struggles we all face when working on growing a business. We've all heard enough of Growth experts talk about their Hyper-Growth successes and their fancy tactics, but the best way to truly learn is to go in-depth in their struggles. Let's face it, startups are a mess, so why not just have honest chat about it instead of pretending we're all geniuses. We all struggle, and that's ok. Welcome to Growth Pains.
