If you are building a company and feel like growth is getting harder, this episode is a reset.

Adam Coffey is a veteran, former GE leader, and CEO who has built multiple companies for private equity, generating billions in exits. In this conversation, Adam breaks down the real CEO playbook: managing process not minutia, building leaders, setting a higher bar for growth, and how private equity actually works when it is done right.

We cover:

• The shift from operator to conductor
• Why great leaders schedule real thinking time
• When to replace an underperformer
• The rule of 72 and why 10% growth is not enough
• How private equity creates the market founders sell into
• Why your first exit is not the finish line
• The "death of the click" and how AI is reshaping lead generation
