​>>LH Roundtable » Growth in the Real World, with Blake Harber

​A small group of CEOs and business leaders, with one topic on the docket: how to grow in the real world.

​Growth is the natural state of a healthy business. But if you're stuck, where do you start?

​In this roundtable session, we'll have a closed-door conversation about growth: what each leader has tried, what ran out of steam, and what's driving real results. Think part business podcast, part peer group, with owners and operators around the table. Everyone contributes, and the conversation goes where the group takes it.

​Anchoring the conversation is Blake Harber, a go-to-market operator who has taken companies like Lucid and Workstream from their first sales hires to tens of millions in revenue. He now buys and builds small businesses in public. We'll open with him: how he thinks about scaling, the systems he's used to get there, and the dead ends he's hit along the way. Then the table takes over.

​What to bring: a contrarian take on growth that's actually paid off, the numbers behind a recent win, or a hard question you want peer feedback on.

​Topics for consideration: the costs and compromises of pursuing growth, whether growth is coming from where you expected it, sustainable strategies versus one-time pushes.

​Ground rules: nothing leaves the room with your name on it unless you sign off. Nobody pitches, including us. By invitation or application only.
