What happens when you blend early-internet battle scars with decades of leadership coaching? You get a brutally honest conversation about humility, timing, and why people... not processes... determine whether companies scale or stall.

In this episode, Jeff Sesol shares lessons from building one of the internet’s earliest cloud platforms, navigating uncharted technical and economic territory, and ultimately refocusing his life’s work around leadership development. From first-mover mistakes to modern AI parallels, this conversation unpacks what builders often learn the hard way.

If you’ve ever felt like your business is moving too fast to think clearly, this episode is your reminder to pull the chute.
