Curious Leadership with Dominic Monkhouse

About Curious Leadership with Dominic Monkhouse

Wide awake at 3am, wondering how the business that felt like a rocket at 15 people turned into an 80-person rollercoaster? Hit play. This is the scale-up podcast for founder CEOs who want practical wins, not platitudes. Every fortnight, Dominic Monkhouse, who scaled two UK tech firms to £30m+ in five years (twice), grills people who've actually done it: operators, battle-scarred founders, and experts who cut through noise. You'll learn techniques that stop fires, speed up decisions, and give you time back. You'll get field-tested methods that all serve one of three vital goals: freeing up your time, building a leadership team that can lead without you, and installing systems you can be sure will work. No recycled LinkedIn fluff. No crappy 'inspiration'. Just clear actions you can run this week. Why listen now? Because growth shouldn't mean chaos. Twelve of Dominic's clients have exited. His Two-Day-Week CEO Blueprint™ shows leaders how to spend their time on the things only they can do, instead of covering tasks other people could do. He coaches scale-ups, writes books people actually read, and asks the questions you wish investors would. If you're stuck between "we're onto something" and "this might kill me," this is your edge: honest stories, hard numbers, and repeatable systems to build a business you're proud of, without losing yourself along the way. Grab a notebook, and hit follow so the next time you're staring at the ceiling at stupid o'clock, you've got a plan and a playbook waiting in your ears.
