184. How Teams Really Work

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 12:00:00 -0400

We weigh the trade-offs between startup speed and enterprise stability, and why separation of concerns across product, marketing, sales, security, and legal protects focus and trust. The throughline: reduce dependencies, design clear interfaces, and learn the reason behind every gate before you try to remove it. • small pains revealing big structural truths • big corp frameworks vs real-world dependencies • startup ownership, bottlenecks and executive approvals • redundancy vs single points of failure • why vertical slices exist as checks and balances • limits of embedded pods and cognitive load • aligning structure to software and outcomes • clean interfaces between product, marketing and sales • career strategy by season: breadth vs depth • diagnose before change, then tune approvals to risk Join our Discord: link in the show notes Like, subscribe, share, and rate the podcast We are starting to release episodes only to the Discord community Click/Tap HERE for everything Corporate Strategy Elevator Music by Julian Avila Promoted by MrSnooze Don't forget ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it helps!
