Paul also shares his approach to deciding which product features to develop, why leadership alignment is critical for execution, and how he and his co-founder divide responsibilities in a nine-person team.

Packed with practical insights on goal-setting, team management, and the importance of clarity in scaling, this episode is perfect for SaaS founders navigating the transition from small teams to structured leadership.
