Where Growth Stalls is a podcast and companion series of posts for founders and leadership teams who’ve hit a wall they can’t quite name.

Hosted by Marc Stoiber and Lorraine McGregor, each episode brings in an operator, investor, or specialist who’s spent years diagnosing and fixing the dysfunction that keeps good companies from scaling.

The premise is simple: the problem blocking a company’s growth is often not the problem. A sales team that isn’t performing, budget that doesn’t match strategy, a founder who can’t step back… on the surface, they appear disconnected. But they’re often tied together in non-obvious ways.

That’s the gray area Where Growth Stalls was built to explore: the constraints upstream of sales, upstream of marketing, upstream of most of the advice founders get. We talk with people who diagnose these problems for a living – in finance, operations, brand, private equity – and distil the specific, practical thing they’ve learned about why growth stalls, and what actually gets it moving again.

Every conversation here becomes two things: a full episode you can watch or listen to, and a companion piece that captures the sharpest ideas in writing, so you can revisit the parts that hit closest to home.

If you’re a founder staring at a plateau you can’t quite explain, or you want to see how we work through these problems with actual clients, booking a meeting is a low-pressure way to experience the process firsthand, no pitch attached.
