The Growth Diary

OM DENNE PODKAST 🔗

Keith Atkinson is an entrepreneur and growth partner, working across business strategy, technology, and automation. He is the founder of Scailr, an AI and automation agency helping growth-focused businesses remove bottlenecks, improve marketing performance, and scale more efficiently.

Before business, Keith was an international athlete in windsurfing and a BBC award winner, (15x British Champion / 4th World Ranking/ 2x Vice World Champion) ... experiences that shaped his approach to discipline, resilience, and performance under pressure.

He created The Growth Diary to share the unfiltered pages of real growth journeys, conversations with founders, operators, and business owners navigating ambition, uncertainty, pressure, and progress in real time.

Each episode explores what it actually takes to grow a business: the decisions behind the scenes, the mistakes, the lessons learned the hard way, and the thinking that shapes long-term success.

The Growth Diary is not about polished success stories. It’s about clarity, perspective, and learning in public.

This is your corner of the internet to think openly, build intentionally, and understand growth from the inside out.
