You Don’t Want a Corporate Culture (And That’s a Good Thing)

Corporate cultures suck - so how is it we can end up replicating them as we grow our companies? You didn’t start your business to build a soulless machine. You didn’t leave traditional work just to recreate hierarchy, bureaucracy, and politics — with you sitting at the top of it.

And yet…

As companies grow, many founders feel themselves drifting toward:

• More layers

• More policies

• More approvals

• More control

In this video, I share:

✨ Why it’s a good thing you don’t want a corporate culture

✨ The hidden trap most scaling advice leads founders into

✨ The warning signs your company is becoming overly corporate

✨ And most importantly — what to build instead

If you're building something purpose-driven and want your company to stay alive, adaptive and human as it scales — this is for you.
