Most companies don’t have a culture problem - they have a comfort problem. In this episode, Sean sits down with Mike Krupit - former CTO, COO, and CEO turned leadership advisor and founder of Trajectify - to unpack what really happens when companies scale. They dive into the uncomfortable transitions founders must make, why delegation is emotional (not tactical), how to manage up, and what CEOs should actually spend their time doing. Mike also breaks down why culture must evolve and how high-growth companies avoid stagnation by embracing discomfort. If you’re leading a growing organization - or becoming the leader your company needs next - this conversation is for you. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 - Comfort vs. Culture Why most companies misdiagnose their real growth problem. 03:00 - From Individual Contributor to Leader The mindset shift that derails new managers. 07:00 - Managing Up & Owning Your One-on-Ones How to take control of your growth at any level. 12:00 - Leading in a Remote World Overcommunication, systems, and preserving humanity. 16:30 - Founder Mode vs. CEO Mode Why scaling requires letting go - emotionally and strategically.
