GrowthLogic is a podcast for founders, revenue leaders, and growth-minded executives who want to scale smarter, not harder. Hosted by David Trueira, creator of FlowLogic AI, the show explores the realities of building sustainable companies, solving scaling challenges, and utilizing AI.
Each week, we dive into conversations with entrepreneurs, consultants, and innovators who are leveraging AI, data, and intelligent strategy to drive predictable growth. Expect honest insights, lessons from the field, and practical frameworks you can actually use. Welcome to GrowthLogic.
In this episode of the GrowthLogic, Carl J. Cox, CEO of Forty Strategy joined the show to discuss how business owners can unlock growth, increase valuation, and ultimately create exit-ready companies. We explored Carl’s journey as a six-time entrepreneur, his approach to helping companies scale from startup to $50M+, and the frameworks he uses to drive execution, reduce risk, and improve EBITDA. Carl also shared how authenticity became a turning point in his growth strategy, why traditional lead generation alone won’t scale, and how leveraging workshops, community, and AI as an operating system are key to building a modern, high-impact business.
