In this episode, Sean sits down with Josh and Damian, co-founders of NeverNormal, a digital growth and strategy consultancy helping scaling businesses make smarter technology decisions. Together, they unpack why so many founders end up overwhelmed by digital complexity, how to diagnose whether your challenges are people, process, or platform related, and why clarity is the real enabler of growth.They also explore the pitfalls of tech-first thinking, the rise of fractional leadership, and the founder mindset shifts needed to build scalable, resilient businesses that use technology as an enabler, not a distraction.Key Topics Covered• Why NeverNormal exists: helping founders make smarter digital decisions without overcomplicating growth.• The overwhelm of digital choice: why too many tools and systems lead to decision paralysis.• People, process, and tech alignment: how to diagnose what’s really blocking growth.• Tech as an enabler, not the solution: how to avoid being dazzled by shiny new platforms.• Build vs. buy: when proprietary systems make sense (and when they’ll kill your exit value).• The founder factor: what to do when the biggest roadblock is the person at the top.• Fractional leadership: using fractional CTOs, CMOs, and CFOs to scale smarter.• Practical roadmap: NeverNormal’s 3-step, 4–6 week diagnostic for uncovering business bottlenecks
