About
The book, and the man behind it.
The Scaling Founder: A Journey of Incompetence is a book about the experience of leading a business through the moments where the role outgrows the instincts that built it. It's not a tactics manual. It's an honest companion for the part of the work that no one talks about.
Brett Matheson is a strategic thinking partner to business owners in transition. He works with owners at the point where the next chapter of the business looks different from the last — and the version of themselves who built it isn't quite the version who needs to lead it forward. He's worked with hundreds of business owners across twenty countries.
