The Chaos of Scale
Scaling a business is messy and chaotic and the human side of business often feels this chaos most intensely. This show is all about navigating the chaos of scale and fixing the human stuff that breaks, bends, and strains in the process.

Ep. 8. Build Your Urgency Immunity - The Chaos of Scale
Life inside a scale-up can feel like living inside a never-ending fire drill.
Every ping feels existential. Every email feels critical. Every request feels like it needed to be done yesterday.
But here’s the truth: when everything is urgent, nothing actually is.
This episode breaks down the chaos-inducing cycle of reactive urgency — and why building your urgency immunity is essential for staying sane, staying effective, and staying human at scale.
You’ll learn how to spot real urgency versus urgency caused by poor planning, panic, or projection… and how to step out of the adrenaline spin so you can respond with clarity instead of chaos.
One thing to think differently about: Urgency is contagious — but so is calm. Choose the one that helps you think.
Action to take: Pause before you react. Sit in that magical space between stimulus and response, assess what’s truly needed, and protect your energy from other people’s last-minute chaos.
