About Seriously Don't Do That

Seriously Don’t Do That™ is a weekly show for founders making high-stakes growth decisions and trying not to learn the hard way. Each episode focuses on one specific mistake founders make under pressure: U.S. market entry assumptions, emotional beachhead choices, premature sales hires, ICP chaos, compliance blind spots, broken pipelines, and board-level credibility gaps. Hosted by Dan Griffith, the show brings pattern recognition from real founder situations across healthcare, fintech, insurance, and other regulated or institutionally complex markets. Guest episodes validate the reality. Dan explains what actually went wrong and what to do instead. This isn’t hustle content. It’s not tactics without context. And it’s not agency advice.If growth feels harder than it should… you’re probably right. Seriously, Don’t Do That!
