Welcome to The Scaled CEO, hosted by Sally Golestanian. This is where accomplished CEOs reveal how they scaled their companies and themselves by building businesses that no longer rely on them to function. Each episode dissects the structural decisions, leadership maturity, and architectural shifts that transform a founder-led company into one that operates at its level. This is scale as structural independence — where growth is no longer powered by the CEO, but sustained by design.

    EP 75: The Four Principles I Use to Make Scaling Faster , Smoother, and More Sustainably

    In this episode, I’m sharing the four principles of the Sustainable Scale Sequence™ — the framework I use to help founders scale faster by making growth lighter, not heavier. We talk about why scale slows down when internal friction, leverage, capacity, and meaning are handled out of order — even when the business is already working. If you want the companion guide, DM 52 on Instagram @thesallygolestanian and I’ll send you a mini guide breaking down the four principles, the full 52-book list grouped by principle, a must-read option, and a top-12 list to scale your business faster, smoother, and with less resistance in 2026.

    EP74 : 4 Leadership Lessons + The Pivot I Didn’t Plan

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing an unexpected decision I had to make — a pivot I didn’t plan for, but knew I had to lean into as the CEO. This isn’t just the story of that pivot. It’s a conversation about leadership — and the moment you realize real growth comes from fast, value-driven decisions… even when it means letting go of the original plan. I also talk about what’s coming next for this podcast, and what to expect as we start preparing for Season 4. ✨ If today’s episode resonated, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you want to share your own pivots, talk about the podcast, or be featured as a guest in Season 4 (launching Q1 2026) — come connect with me on Instagram @thesallygolestanian.

    EP 73: The Business Hiccup That Slapped Me — Even Though I Was Ready

    In today’s episode, I share what happened last week — what pulled me out of my business, the unexpected shifts it created, and how I’m now recalibrating everything as I move forward. This is the most unfiltered and personal I’ve ever been on the mic. A behind-the-scenes look at the moments that don’t make it to Instagram — and the kind of clarity that only comes when you’re forced to slow down. Listen in. There’s a little truth in here for all of us.

    EP 72: The Golden Rule for Scaling into a 7+ Figure Company

    In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I’m simplifying, decluttering, and streamlining the entire backend of my business to scale at speed. I’ll share the exact tools I’m eliminating (and why), what building, and the lens guiding every decision. And toward the end of the episode, I reveal the Golden Rule — not a tool, not a tactic, but a game-changing layer that elevates everything I just walked you through. That’s why it’s the rule I build everything on.

    EP 71: The Shift That Makes You Unstoppable (It’s Not Strategy)

    In this episode, I’m sharing the identity shift that’s been unfolding behind the scenes — the kind that has nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with your next level and who you’re becoming. I’m also announcing that Season 4 launches in January with weekly guest interviews — and if you feel called to be a guest, you’re invited to reach out. This is an intimate, grounding reminder that identity — not strategy — is what actually moves you forward.
