After 15 years of building Showpo, Jane’s learned a lot about hiring, scaling, and leadership but nothing really prepares you for people leaving. In this solo episode, she unpacks one of the hardest truths of building a business: no matter how experienced you get, resignations never really get easier.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why resignations feel exactly like breakups and the different exits every founder will recognise - from people leaving for “hotter” opportunities, to ego hits, to the ones that just quietly fizzle out
• How to deal with the hard ones: blindsides and losing people you genuinely love working with
• Why letting people leave is actually part of scaling and how to stop taking it so personally
