In this episode of The Rundown with Ramon, host Ramon Ray talks with Ashish Gupta, founder of ScaleUpExec, about what it really takes to scale a small or mid-sized business to eight and nine figures.
Ashish explains why scaling isn’t for everyone, how business growth happens in steps, and why founders must sometimes step aside to let the right leaders take the company forward. He also shares his own entrepreneurial journey — from a startup acquired by Qualcomm, to senior leadership at Apple, to building ScaleUpExec.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
The mindset shift required for serious scaling.
How fractional COOs can unlock growth in traditional industries.
Creative financing strategies to fund expansion.
Why scaling is often about life goals, not just revenue.
