Scaling a company is exhilarating — and relentless. CADENCE CO. has spent a decade alongside high-growth leaders helping them build stable to scale, and this podcast is where we share what we've learned. Expect honest conversations about the unglamorous work that actually moves the needle: staying focused, building the right teams, mastering the fundamentals, and showing up as your best when it matters most.
Surfacing Risks, Constraints, and Uncomfortable Truths
We've all walked into situations where the answer we knew we needed to give – the one that our experience, the reality of the situation, and our integrity required of us – wasn’t what we thought the founder, our peers, or investors were explicitly or implicitly wanting to hear. We walk through what courageously accountable leadership looks like in those moments: surfacing the full story, and committing to the shared direction.

Managing Healthy Tensions
Every business has tensions between divisions, departments, and teams. When we confuse tensions to manage with those we need to solve, we set ourselves and our teams up for frustration and a never ending losing game. When we don't manage tensions well that should exist, our organization develops unhealthy workarounds, behaviors, and patterns that don't serve the company well. Today, we're defining healthy tensions to manage, and where to get started.

Stacking, Restacking, and Renegotiating Priorities
If everything is a priority, then nothing is. In our modern business world "it's a priority" is constantly overused and consistently causes chaos for our team and our customers. Having a Stack-Ranked list of your individual, team, division, and organizational priorities creates clarity when new ones inevitably emerge. In this episode we walk through the framework, why it matters, and where to get started.

Turning Pipe Dreams into Plans
A vision and clear goals aren't a strategy. Without a plan for getting from here to there, you don't have a strategy, you have a pipe dream. We unpack why the gap between goals and execution exists, where the traps hide, and what to do about it—so you can give your team the clarity to prioritize what really matters and bring their best work to bear.

Closing the Gap Between Sales and Adoption
There is often a gap between what the decision makers buy, and what the front-line team is expected to adopt. When done well, it’s a breath of fresh air. When done poorly, the pains are felt across the organization.

Aligning, Communicating, and Managing Priorities
You can get your whole leadership team nodding in the room, and still watch priorities scatter the second everyone walks out the door.
Every executive team hits this wall. Real alignment at the top is hard enough; getting it to hold as it moves through the organization is where most teams struggle.
In this episode, we break down how to build genuine alignment with your leadership team, then communicate and negotiate it across the org so the priorities that matter actually drive action instead of getting diluted at every handoff.
If you've ever left a leadership meeting feeling aligned, only to find everyone rowing in different directions a week later or a quarter later, this one's for you.

Right People + Right Room + Right Process
In high-growth companies, the teams that depend on each other most are often the ones drifting apart. Everyone's heads-down in their own lane. By the time the silos are obvious, the cost is already showing up.
This episode is about getting ahead of that: Getting the right people, in the right room, with the right process, before things break instead of after.
Our guest is Colt Westbrook, President of Walrus Audio, a premiere guitar pedal designer and manufacturer (walrusaudio.com (walrusaudio.com)). By investing in this approach, they've realized 3x top-line growth and widened their margins.

Define and Deal with Dysfunctions
Every company has its dysfunctions. Because none of us are perfect, when people come together, there will always be some set of dysfunctions to deal with. In an organization, those dysfunctions often start at the top and roll downhill. They like to live in our blindspots. They can even start out as some of our biggest strengths. In this episode we’ll dig into how to identify and deal with your company’s dysfunctions, instead of allowing them to continue dealing freely with you.
