Episode Synopsis


In today’s Startup Therapy Podcast, Wil and Ryan talk about where founders should put their focus on. Growth or profit? Can you focus on both? The true measure of a founding team is the success of every bet made and the ability to bounce back from the negative consequences of these bets.

Either way, it’s always about achieving your ultimate goal.   Sign up for the Startups Newsletterhttps://www.startups.com/newsletterResources:Startup Therapy Podcast https://www.startups.com/beginJoin our Network of Top Founders Check in with us on LinkedIn | Wil Schroter | Ryan RutanWhat to Listen For00:00 Intro00:09 Why profit should always be the motive05:54 You can’t simply mimic successful Startups12:39 Give yourself enough time to learn everything about the business21:15 Growth can also be very distracting26:12 They all look like great when they’re just ideas
