In today’s episode I am talking with architect and professor, Matt Fajkus, about the mindset of experimentation when it comes to growing your business.

One of the experiments we discussed is how he doubled the size of his team overnight; from 11 to 22 people. Matt shares the details, including changes inside the organization, improving team communication, and even how they needed to structure their work days to make their existing space functional.

We touch on a concept that, I think, is so brilliant; One of Matt’s main reasons to run this experiment was to identify any weak spots in the business - anything that would be an obstacle to sustainable growth. He calls this the “stress test” and it gave him and his team a major learning opportunity. 

The reason I love this is because business owners often get stuck inside our own status quo, because we don’t know what we’re up against and don’t recognize how much those unknown factors keep us fearing the worst and not making the changes we want to make. By seeking them out, you give yourself the opportunity to overcome them instead of simply reacting to them.

Enjoy this conversation with Matt Fajkus.
