Nathan Austin has broken through four or five plateaus in twenty-six years of building Mytech Partners. Not one of them did he see coming, and not one of them did he solve alone.
An acquisition that pushed change faster than the business could absorb. Four equal partners dividing up a company that only needed one person running it. A business that had gotten good at execution without ever defining where it was going. Every time, somebody outside the business named the problem before anyone inside it could.
Glen Dall and John Ninkovich talk with Nate about what it costs to learn that lesson late, and why the CEOs who break through fastest are the ones who stopped assuming they could see their own gaps.
In this episode
- The acquisition where six months of internal work produced one question from a client: what have you been doing?
- Why the seller who fights you and the seller who leaves early are both a problem
- What changes at $5M to $6M in revenue, when proximity stops working as a management system
- The moment a peer group told four owners to pick one leader and go do their jobs
- Learning to follow when you are used to being the person with the answers
- Why culture in a five-person company is whoever has the strongest personality
- The difference between running a system well and knowing where you are going
Below this, the description carries four fixed blocks that run on every episode: where to subscribe, about the show, host bios, and the CEO Playbook. Those do not change episode to episode, so nothing to review there.
