If you're like most Founders, you've made it through the initial trials and tribulations: building a scrappy dedicated team, early traction, product-market fit. But now you’re hitting resistance.
While you may feel like things are breaking down, you're actually being called into the next level of leadership and structure.

Few realize they're being invited into their second Upward Spiral, the one that builds not just the company, but the leader required to grow it.
Don’t mistake your next journey through the Upward Spiral for a breakdown or failure.
It’s actually the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
