6. Scaling Startups: The Unsexy Truth about Building, Progressing & AI

This week, Maya and Olivia sit down with someone very special — family, super-fan, and one of the most dynamic (yet ridiculously humble) people in the startup game.

Rohan Bedi has built his entire career inside high-growth startups: from leading sales and marketing straight out of uni, to shaping strategy in data & AI, to joining a pre-seed AI startup where he rose to COO. And because “chill” clearly isn’t in his vocabulary, he’s now the CEO of an AI consulting startup — while advising YC-backed Lightdash on GTM operations.

If you’re curious about how to progress quickly in startups, deal with the tough moments, make an impact, and navigate the world of AI — all while seeing what startup life really looks like behind the glossy LinkedIn updates — this episode is for you.

TOP TAKEAWAYS

What it’s actually like joining a startup straight out of university
The highs, lows, and chaos behind scaling startup
Navigating high-pressure moments and how to approach tough decisions
Betting on AI: how conviction drives bold career leaps and real impact
Moving fast without losing sight of your values
Dropping ego and prioritising output over recognition

This one’s honest, energising, and packed with real talk about building, leading, failing, pivoting, and choosing the life you want — even when it means stepping into the unknown.
