When Growth Keeps Breaking Your Business (Interview with Preston Zeller)
In this episode, Preston Zeller breaks down what actually happens when a business starts to scale.
He shares patterns he has seen inside high-growth tech companies, why processes break as you grow, and how leadership clarity (or lack of it) sets the tone for everything downstream.
We also talk messaging by market readiness, filtering strategy from noise, and why outside perspective can cost less than confusion.
Preston is also the founder of Psalmlog, an AI-powered biblical guidance app designed to help believers access Scripture-based wisdom for real-life challenges. We get into the trust gap many Christians feel around AI, what responsible use looks like, and why his product is designed as a tool, not a replacement for Scripture, discipleship, or the Holy Spirit.
We close with the story behind his award-winning documentary, The Art of Grieving, created after his brother died suddenly from a fentanyl overdose. Preston shares how art opened the door for healing conversations, and why some projects come back around because the story is not finished yet.
Key topics:
- What breaks when companies scale, and why processes fail as you grow
