He realized the biggest secret to success is that there is not one secret to success. There are key strategies, tactics, skills, and mindsets needed at each stage of the journey AND they are different in each stage. He launched the Start, Scale & Succeed podcast to help you know what you need to do RIGHT NOW to create the success you want. If you're a founder, entrepreneur, owner, or CEO or even if you'd like to be. You'll find episodes guiding you to success in all seven stages of your journey from pre-launch to post-exit. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950.md ## Episodes - [Your Best Sales Rep Is a Ticking Time Bomb with Ben Wright (stage 4) - Ep. 410](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950/your-best-sales-rep-is-a-ticking-time-bomb-with-ben-wright-stage-4-ep-410) — 2026-07-07T10:01:00+00:00 - [Should You Really Build a Team with Scott Ritzheimer (stages 2,3) - Ep. 409](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950/should-you-really-build-a-team-with-scott-ritzheimer-stages-2-3-ep-409) — 2026-07-07T10:00:00+00:00 - [How Solopreneurs Win in the Automation Age with Tim Harrison (stage 2) - Ep. 408](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950/how-solopreneurs-win-in-the-automation-age-with-tim-harrison-stage-2-ep-408) — 2026-06-30T10:01:00+00:00 - [Should You Really Start a Business or Nonprofit with Scott Ritzheimer (stages 1,2) - Ep. 407](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950/should-you-really-start-a-business-or-nonprofit-with-scott-ritzheimer-stages-1-2-ep-407) — 2026-06-30T10:00:00+00:00 - [The Collateral Damage of Business Success with Ryan Finley (stage 4) - Ep. 406](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950/the-collateral-damage-of-business-success-with-ryan-finley-stage-4-ep-406) — 2026-06-23T10:01:00+00:00 - [You’re Asking the Wrong Question with Scott Ritzheimer (stages 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Ep. 405](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-start-scale-succeed-podcast-5607950/you-re-asking-the-wrong-question-with-scott-ritzheimer-stages-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-ep-405) — 2026-06-23T10:00:00+00:00 - [Are Your Happiest Clients Killing Your Growth?
