Ep #351: Daniel Marcos – Scaling Intentionally and Conquering Crisis (Part 2)

Today’s episode is part two of the interview I did with my good friend and mentor, Daniel Marcos, co-founder and CEO of the Growth Institute. (If you didn’t catch last week’s episode, I encourage you to listen to that first.) In this follow-up, you’ll hear more about Daniel’s journey into disciplined entrepreneurship and gain insight on scaling a business the right way.

Listen in as Daniel talks about the different stages of business and how tricky it can be moving from a Stage 2 to a Stage 3 business. He shares how he looks at the different stages of business in today’s economy, as well as how intentionality, awareness, and purpose are key to scaling successfully. You’ll also get a glimpse of where Daniel is headed next and hear some of his best advice on managing the potential risks facing us in the coming economic changes.
