You have a marketing plan. A financial plan. Maybe even a product roadmap.

But a people strategy?

That's the one most founders skip — until things start falling apart.

In this episode, Lindsay is calling out one of the most damaging myths in business: that you can figure out your team later, once you've grown. Because your people are your growth strategy. And waiting until you have 15 or 50 people isn't strategic. It's just reactive.

If you've ever felt your shoulders tighten at the words "I need to grow my team" — this conversation is going to change something for you.

What we dig into:

⏳ Why the "we'll figure out the team later" approach is keeping you stuck

🔄 The difference between reactive hiring and intentional growth

🔭 How to reverse engineer your vision into a phased, calm, doable people plan

✨ What a people strategy actually gives you: clarity, relief, and permission to let go

🧱 How to build it in layers, without blowing up what's already working

And if this one landed, let's keep the conversation going. Find me on Instagram at @highvoltleadership or head to highvoltageleadership.ca to book a Spark Session and explore what's possible.
