Focus, Optionality and Where to Excel

Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are our favourite episodes from the past 5 years, published every month or two. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. This is a replay of Episode 120, originally released in Feb 2023.

Vidit Agarwal speaks with Alex Badran (Co-Founder & CEO of Spriggy) and Tim Doyle (Co-Founder & CEO of Eucalyptus) in a new sparring-style format, where Alex and Tim actively challenge each other’s thinking.They debate how founders make decisions under uncertainty, why data should inform judgement—not replace it, and why speed compounds. They unpack founder paralysis at scale, why customers don’t care how big your company is, and why the "superhero" founder perception is incorrect. 

It’s time to explore your curiosity — please enjoy.
