Coming September & October 2025

In this kickoff, Caitlin Ferguson (Founder of COOPilots.io) and Rob Ripp (Founder of Fintelligent & author of Finance for Founders) set the stage for a podcast built for founders who are scaling beyond grit alone.

You’ll hear what brought us together, why we’re passionate about guiding founders through the messy middle, and what to expect in upcoming episodes. Think real stories (names changed) from the trenches and practical tips you can use right away.

This isn’t another dry business lecture. We want you to feel like you're sitting down with two trusted peers over coffee. We’ll cover:

• How finance and operations fuel growth (and exits)

• Common mistakes founders make between $1M–$10M in revenue

• What “clean numbers” and “repeatable systems” really look like

• Why scaling without the stress is not only possible, but essential

If you’ve ever thought: “We’re growing, but I still feel stuck in the weeds" then this podcast is for you.
