In this Grow, Scale, Master episode, Kon Stathopoulos and Josh Phegan look at bootstrapping and the drive to make things happen. They show how you never know how far you can go until you go, why success requires someone to be extreme, and why there are more systems and standards at 200 transactions than at 20. They agree that whatever you accept is your standard, and complacency breeds laziness. They talk about how going after a goal by chasing just one thing leads to greatness, indicators of success, and focus as a superpower. Josh describes an 'evolve or die' moment in his business, Kon shares insights around monitoring physical health as well as financial health, and they discuss their views around buying time, not status.

Josh relates how your direct seven hires determine your success as CEO. Kon suggests we don't need more information; we need to act on what we already know.
