Startups Magazine: Founder Playbook: How to Lead, Hire, and Scale Smarter (9-Part Series)

Scaling a startup isn’t just about growth, it’s about who you become in the process. In my nine-part series for Startups Magazine, I draw on my background in psychology, neuroscience and coaching to offer founders powerful tools for leading with clarity and resilience.

From navigating the turbulence of decision fatigue to designing a CEO week that actually works, I show you how to build habits and structures that protect your energy and sharpen your leadership.

“Founders are decision-making machines. From choosing your next feature to picking between two good-enough hires, your day is a stream of judgment calls, big and small. The problem? That stream becomes a flood.”

You’ll find articles on:

• Storytelling under pressure when investor updates loom

• Hiring your dopamine match: strengths-based recruiting for lean teams

• Building feedback loops instead of fire drills from day one

• And much more on resilience, burnout prevention, and leading through scale, sale or pivot

If you're a founder wanting to pitch sharper, win talent, and keep your edge without sacrificing wellbeing, this series is your playbook. Read all 9 articles here, I recommend starting with the Founder Overview.
