Blitzscaling: The New Growth Formula

With Chris Yeh

In this episode of the ScaleX™ Insider Podcast, I’m delighted to welcome Chris Yeh, writer, investor, entrepreneur, and co-author of the ground-breaking book Blitzscaling, written with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Chris has had a ringside seat in the world of start-ups and scaleups since 1995. From garage-dwelling start-ups to Fortune 50 giants, hundreds of companies have turned to Chris for his insights on how the internet has radically transformed the way we build organizations. His work helps founders, VCs, corporate leaders, and policymakers navigate the chaotic journey of hypergrowth and thrive through it.

This high energy conversation also explores:

  • Growth isn’t just expansion. It’s transformation.
  • Why clarity of mission is the real multiplier.
  • Why you should never let the world decide who you are.

Whether you’re scaling a start-up or steering a legacy business into the future, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, learning, and what it really takes to build a company that lasts.
