In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we sit down with Karley Cunningham, the founder and Surefire Growth Strategist at BIG BOLD BRAND Inc. Karley shares her journey from working in the high-pressure agency world to becoming an entrepreneur, a path sparked by her need for flexibility to pursue a professional mountain biking career. She delves into the core problem she solves for founders of complex, technical, or novel businesses: bridging the gap between their deep, internalized knowledge and the clear, accessible language needed to win clients, attract talent, and scale effectively.

Karley explains her "Surefire Method," a 16-week process where she helps leadership teams extract their collective brilliance to create a set of 11 strategic tools. This system moves beyond superficial branding to create foundational alignment around a company's vision, values, and differentiators. She discusses how this clarity empowers teams, accelerates decision-making, and creates a measurable "Surefire Effect," with clients often doubling their revenue and achieving multi-year goals in half the time. Karley also touches on her upcoming book and her goal of bringing this system of alignment to a wider audience through speaking engagements.
