Founders scale profitably by mastering cash flow, financial intelligence and decision systems; not by chasing revenue or relying on instinct.


AUTHORITY SUMMARY:
Most founders believe growth solves problems. Professional investors know unmanaged growth exposes them.
In this episode, Harvard MBA, ex-McKinsey and ex-Bain Capital operator Nick Jain explains how elite finance leaders think. Drawing from private equity, consulting and $100M+ turnarounds, he shows how disciplined decision systems protect cash, strengthen margins and preserve founder sanity.


KEY INSIGHTS:

• Why revenue growth often destroys cash
• What investors see founders miss early
• Financial intelligence vs reading reports
• When fractional CFOs outperform full-time hires
• The math behind hiring and expansion decisions
• Why emotional decisions erode margins
• Fortune 500 systems that scale down cleanly
• How AI strengthens judgment rather than replacing it
