Escape Velocity
Content for leaders whose companies are stuck in orbit.
Read the Newsletter →There is a speed a rocket has to reach before it breaks free of gravity. One mile per hour slower and it does not matter how hard the engines burn. The rocket climbs, stalls, and falls back to the same ground it started from.
Companies work the same way. I know because I have flown that arc more than once. Eight hats, sixty-hour weeks, a business that grew fast and then hit something invisible and stopped. The engines were at full burn. We were not going anywhere.
Escape Velocity is where I write and talk about that exact moment. The ceiling nobody warns you about. The leadership team that smiles in meetings and fights everywhere else. The founder doing every job except the one only they can do. No theory, no jargon, just what it actually takes to break free, from someone who has sat in the seats.
Right now there are two vehicles. More thrust is coming.
The Newsletter
Every issue takes one real problem that stalls growing companies and pulls it apart in plain language. It is short, it is honest, and readers keep telling me it sounds like I am talking directly to them. That is because I am.
The Podcast
Launching soon. Real conversations with operators and business leaders about the messy parts of scaling, the parts that never make it into the highlight reel. First episodes are on the way.
