In this episode:

Adi Klevit sits down with Lindsay Nahmiache for a powerful conversation about growth, discomfort, and the systems that allow founders to evolve beyond daily operations. Lindsay shares how unexpected moments—like being stranded in Nepal without a passport—became pivotal experiences that shaped her ability to think clearly, creatively, and strategically. Adi highlights how these personal experiences directly influence leadership style and long-term business success.

They also explore the early days of Lindsay’s marketing agency, including how saying “yes” before having all the answers led to landing major clients like Virgin Radio. Adi emphasizes that this wasn’t luck, but a mindset backed by execution, structure, and a willingness to figure things out. The conversation reinforces how confidence paired with systems creates opportunity.

As the episode unfolds, Adi and Lindsay dive into what it truly takes to scale. Lindsay explains why founders must eventually remove themselves from operations—even when it feels uncomfortable—and how strong systems step in to support the business at the next level. Adi reinforces that this transition is essential for founders who want freedom, clarity, and sustainable growth without becoming the bottleneck.

Quotable Moments:

“If you aren’t a little bit uncomfortable, you aren’t playing big enough.”
“Marketing should always support the business objective—otherwise it’s just noise.”
“When systems work without you, it’s a blow to the ego—but a win for the business.”
“Growth doesn’t require doing everything; it requires doing the right things at the right stage.”
“The leading indicators are always there—you just have to pay attention.”

Action Steps:

Review your recent revenue and growth trends to identify where momentum has slowed. A plateau is often a signal that it’s time to introduce strategic discomfort.
Clearly define your business objective before investing in marketing or growth initiatives. Every strategy should directly support where the business is headed next.
Begin removing yourself from day-to-day operations by documenting processes and empowering your team. Letting systems run without you creates space for higher-level thinking.
Focus on the right strategy for your current stage instead of trying to do everything at once. Fewer, well-aligned initiatives will produce better results.
Support bold decisions with data, case studies, and historical examples. This reduces risk while making it easier to gain buy-in and execute confidently.
