Description
What if you could sit in on a high-stakes scaling consultation — for free? Every week on The Scale Room, a product founder brings a live challenge to Olya Grovel (ex-PayPal, angel investor, SLS Labs founder) & they work through it together on the mic. No preparation. No hindsight polish. You hear the real-time diagnosis: what's actually broken, what to fix first, and why the obvious answer is usually wrong. It's pattern recognition you can steal, decision-making you can study, and the closest thing to having a Scale SWAT operator in your corner. For founders scaling past their first million $.
