0:00When you have the friends who are telling you, oh, um, must be nice or you think you're better than us or, "Oh, so we can't drink anymore." That's when you can be like, "Yeah, then what?" Well, then we wouldn't be friends. You're not going to be friends with them eventually anyways. I promise you. Anyone who says that, you're not going to be friends with if you want to ultimately become the person you want to become. They're only going to reject you harder and harder until eventually you have nothing to share about. and the only thing that you'll talk about is the past, which by the way, one of the great leading indicators of at least in my opinion of a great way to know when to cut a friend is when they only talk about your past.

So, my team and I put together the $100 million scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so we broke it in these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free.
