This is the stage where growth slows, pressure increases, and decisions carry more weight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alongside founders, the series also features the operators behind growing companies, including CFOs, product leaders, and sales specialists, to unpack what is really driving outcomes inside scaling businesses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recent conversations include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>A SaaS CFO explaining why many companies struggle between \u00a31m and \u00a35m ARR<\/li>\n<li>A product expert breaking down why users fail to convert or stay<\/li>\n<li>A sales leader sharing what actually closes deals versus what teams assume works<\/li>\n<li>Founders building in real time, not reflecting after a successful exit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While much startup content focuses on rapid growth and success stories, iwon\u2122 focuses on the period most founders experience but rarely discuss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;This is about the part no one talks about,&#8221; says Thomas. &#8220;The years where things are uncertain, progress is uneven, and decisions carry real weight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each guest is selected through a pre-interview process to ensure conversations are grounded in real experience rather than general advice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first episodes are now live on YouTube (@RealMJT) and available on major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Amazon and Spotify.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Episodes are released fortnightly, alongside short-form breakdowns from Thomas highlighting key takeaways for founders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>About Michael J.
