Scaling Nightmares: The Hidden Dangers of Rapid Growth

What if the biggest risk to your startup wasn’t your competitors—but your own success? 🚀

In this episode of Monster in My Closet – Into the Shadows, we welcome back Jeff Wellstead, the fearless truth-teller who knows that scaling isn’t just hiring more people—it’s a high-stakes game of Russian roulette. From ballooning bureaucracy to unruly egos and catastrophic hiring mistakes, Jeff unveils the hidden landmines that can detonate a growing company.

Three Big Things We Unpack:
💥 Founder Blind Spots: Why brilliant tech minds make the worst scaling decisions
💰 Bad Hiring is Expensive: How one bad hire can quietly drain 1.5x their salary
🛠 Culture vs. Chaos: Why your "cool startup vibe" will die—unless you do this

Scaling is a beast. But with the right mindset, strategy, and just a touch of HR wizardry, you can tame it before it eats you alive.
