Scaling a business is exciting - but what happens when success comes at a cost?
James Mulvany, founder of Podcast.co, MatchMaker.fm, and Radio.co, has built multiple successful tech companies, employing a global team of 50. But behind the rapid growth, there’s a side of leadership that rarely gets talked about.
In this episode of Leaders in Disguise, James and host Gary Parsons get real about:
-The loneliness of leadership and how scaling a company changes relationships
-The emotional toll of losing a major client deal and how he rebuilt confidence
-Navigating personal loss while keeping a business afloat
-The pressures of responsibility—when an entire team relies on you
-Why many tech leaders struggle with isolation and burnout - and how to break the cycle
This episode is for entrepreneurs, founders, and leaders who feel like they’re carrying the weight of success alone. If you’ve ever questioned whether the pressure is worth it - this one’s for you.
