75. Sacrifice, Yield And Asymmetric Returns
Sacrificing things, and doing less, is not sexy.
Sacrifice is tricky thing to get right, most entrepreneurs get it wrong.

74. How To Use Metrics
Here's a quick sneak-peek into the Consulting.com Quantum Mastermind event! Listen to Sam as he answers some burning questions.
Note: We were using a throw mic and that has resulted in some inaudible questions (whoopsie). But Sam's audio is perfectly audible throughout the session. Happy listening.

73. Scale, Mess And Debt
Scaling a business is an awesome topic, cleaning up the mess and paying back the debt from scaling is not. This is a tricky thing to balance. Most entrepreneurs get it wrong. If you don't grow fast, a competitor might overtake you —but— grow too fast and you'll make a mess and accumulate too much debt for the company to get out of. Finding the perfect balance between these two extremes is an art-form that lies at the core of an entrepreneur's ability. This podcast teaches you how to think about three things: scale, mess, debt, and how they're all parts of the same "growth cycle". I share practical tips to handle these issues in your business today + share personal stories of the rollercoaster ride I've been on to date.

Couldn’t recommend enough
Sam is a straight genius! He brings it all together from mindset, business, to application.
He is honest and makes you think about life from a different lens.
I wish he was still producing content here but there is so much material already existing.
Thank you so much Sam! I hope we can meet one day and I’d like to buy you a beer (or sparkling water if you insist)
