MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Darius Mirshahzadeh built the company he'd always wanted. In just three years, he grew it from a one-person operation into one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States. But when he looked around, he realized something unsettling: he hated the company he had created. That experience forced him to rethink what it really means to scale a business. In this revisited episode, Dart and Darius discuss how core values shape the way organizations grow, why culture must be designed intentionally, and what it takes to build a company that can scale without losing itself.
Darius Mirshahzadeh is an entrepreneur, author, and leadership advisor who helps founders build values-driven organizations. He founded Twin Capital Mortgage, later served as CEO of The Money Source, and is the author of The Core Value Equation.
In this episode, Dart and Darius discuss:
- Building culture through values
- When values become operational
- Hiring for alignment
- The language organizations create
- Measuring engagement differently
- Why some polarization is healthy
- Scaling without losing your culture
- Finding your calling
- And other topics…
