CTO Series: Navigating Growth, A Playbook for Scaling Engineering Teams With Toni Ala-Piirto   In this BONUS episode, we dive into the journey of Toni Ala-Piirto, a seasoned software leader with 15 years of experience designing and implementing distributed systems. Toni opens up about pivotal lessons from his leadership career, balancing tech strategy with business goals, and the nuances of scaling engineering teams during rapid growth. Whether you're a CTO, a team lead, or a tech enthusiast, this conversation is packed with practical insights.   The Evolution of a Leader: A Journey, Not a Single Moment   “Leadership isn't built in a single defining moment but shaped by many experiences.”   Toni recounts a key challenge early in his career involving a major performance issue for a customer. This experience taught him the importance of viewing systems holistically rather than focusing solely on individual contributions. His “boring” leadership style—marked by forward-thinking and crisis prevention—emphasizes preparation and identifying risks without over-engineering solutions.   Aligning Tech and Business: The Power of Collaboration   “Technology vision and business strategy should speak the same language.”   Toni highlights the importance of close collaboration with product managers, sales, and finance to ensure tech strategy aligns with broader business goals. Regular cross-department discussions foster trust and ensure that the product roadmap is both innovative and achievable.   Key Practice: Build relationships with key stakeholders through daily touchpoints to create alignment.   The Roadmap to Success: Vision vs. Execution   “Short-term details drive long-term visions.”   Toni explains their approach to roadmapping, with detailed 6-month plans that address “how” to achieve goals and a broader vision for the longer term. This allows the team to stay agile while keeping future innovations in view.   Pro Tip: Avoid spending excessive time on estimations; use past experience to guide epic-level planning.   “The first six months are about execution—the rest is about imagining what's possible.”   Scaling Teams During Rapid Growth   “The true challenge of scaling is transferring knowledge while preserving team culture.”   Toni reflects on the growth journey from a small team to a larger organization. As the team grew, onboarding and knowledge transfer became crucial. His solution? Pair testing and collaborative learning to help developers understand the product deeply, not just the code.   Tactical Tips: Implement a “test buddy” system for collaborative testing and learning. Encourage developers to test the product to build domain knowledge and foster cross-functional understanding.   “Your people need to understand the product—not just the code—to scale effectively.”   Maintaining Culture Amid Growth   “Growth changes culture—how you hire and lead defines the next chapter.”   Toni shares how adding new team members can shift team dynamics. The key to sustaining a positive culture is hiring individuals who take ownership and serve as role models. Leaders should seek out those who aim to improve the team, not just perform their tasks.   “The best hires don't just do their job—they make the whole team better.”   Cross-Functional Insights and Learning the CTO Role   “CTOs operate at the intersection of tech and business—a shift from pure development.”   Toni admits that stepping into the CTO role required him to expand his understanding of business operations, strategic planning, and cross-functional collaboration. He emphasizes that this broadened perspective is essential for impactful decision-making.   “The biggest shift for me was seeing the business as a whole—not just the tech stack.”   Key Influences: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team   “Understanding team dynamics is as crucial as technical expertise.”   Toni cites Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team as a pivotal read. The book shaped his approach to fostering accountability and ensuring team commitment. Toni underscores that accountability isn't about blame—it's about ownership and follow-through.   Scaling with a Talent Strategy in Mind   “Growth requires not just more people but the right investments.”   Toni discusses integrating talent strategy into roadmaps by aligning with business goals, including company size and revenue targets. Strategic hiring and investment in growth ensure that the team remains equipped to deliver on future plans.   About Toni Ala-Piirto   Toni Ala-Piirto is a seasoned software professional with 15 years of experience leading architecture and design for projects of all sizes. He excels in creating practical, fit-for-purpose distributed systems and is known for his hands-on approach and commitment to continuous improvement. Toni consistently delivers solutions that meet specific project needs while aligning with broader business objectives. You can link with Toni Ala-Piirto on LinkedIn.a

Challenges in Scaling a Recurring Revenue Business Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Recurring revenue brings many benefits to a business. There are challenges in scaling a recurring revenue business. Consider these challenges for your business: Manual processes -- these slow down the growth of your business.

Churn -- businesses with a high churn rate will struggle to scale. Seek to build a sticky business that retains customers for the long term. Unintentional churn -- this comes from failed payments. Build-in tools to reduce failed payments through dunning, automatic card updaters, and other processes to ensure successful payments. Accurate reporting -- this captures the key data points around sales, payments, and other financial aspects of the business. The more you know about your business process, the more easily you can find ways to scale it. Lead generation -- scaling a business requires a greater number of leads and ways to process them.

Four years into his 12-year career chapter at Amazon, Hetu Patel was appointed Finance Director for Prime—a role he credits with opening his eyes to strategic finance. In the days ahead Patel would be handed a milestone assignment, where he worked on a groundbreaking framework attributing the total value of Prime membership to each bundled benefit: video, music, books, and fast shipping. Collaborating with economics and business teams, he quantified how each offering affected purchase behavior and membership renewals, “Patel tells us.” This data-driven approach ultimately informed billions in investment decisions, illustrating how finance could reshape strategy, boost decision-making speed, and deliver transformative impact.Patel's nearly 12-year tenure at Amazon exposed him to operations, retail category development, and even a general manager role, sharpening his analytical skills and broadening his perspective on enterprise-wide connectivity. “Improving the quality and speed of decision-making is the most important role of finance,” Patel tells us. This belief guided him into his subsequent position as CFO at Imperfect Foods, where he further honed board relations, fundraising, and M&A capabilities.Today, Patel channels these cross-functional experiences into his role as CFO of Thrive Market, combining rigorous long-term planning with a mission-driven focus on healthy, sustainable living. Drawing on lessons from Amazon's culture of data-centricity, Patel emphasizes strategic foresight and clear performance metrics to guide decision-making.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Scaling the Heights: A Winter Adventure in Gaudí's Barcelona Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-01-11-08-38-19-ca Story Transcript:Ca: El vent fred de l'hivern bufava suaument sobre Barcelona, mentre Oriol i Montserrat caminaven cap a la majestuosa Sagrada Família.En: The cold winter wind gently blew over Barcelona, as Oriol and Montserrat walked toward the majestic Sagrada Família.Ca: L'edifici s'alçava imponent sobre el cel ennuvolat de la ciutat, les seves torres encara en construcció es retallaven contra l'horitzó com si fossin fletxes llançades cap al cel.En: The building rose imposingly over the cloudy sky of the city, its towers still under construction cut against the horizon as if they were arrows shot towards the sky.Ca: Oriol, amb el seu quadern en mà, observava cada detall de l'arquitectura d'Antoni Gaudí.En: Oriol, with his notebook in hand, observed every detail of Antoni Gaudí's architecture.Ca: Els colors, les formes, tot tenia un sentit especial per a ell.En: The colors, the shapes, everything had a special meaning for him.Ca: Montserrat, amb la seva càmera preparada, buscava l'enquadrament perfecte que mostrés l'esplendor de la basílica.En: Montserrat, with her camera ready, sought the perfect frame to showcase the splendor of the basilica.Ca: Els turistes que envoltaven el monument eren una barrera constant per als seus objectius.En: The tourists surrounding the monument were a constant barrier to their goals.Ca: "La inspiració gairebé es pot tocar", va dir Oriol, mentre mirava per sobre de la multitud.En: "The inspiration is almost tangible," said Oriol, as he looked above the crowd.Ca: "Sí, però les fotos amb tants caps al mig no serviran", va respondre Montserrat, mig frustrada.En: "Yes, but the photos with so many heads in the way won't do," replied Montserrat, half frustrated.Ca: Decidits a no deixar-se vèncer, Oriol va trobar una solució.En: Determined not to be defeated, Oriol found a solution.Ca: Va suggerir pujar als punts més alts accessibles de l'edifici.En: He suggested climbing to the highest accessible points of the building.Ca: Així, podrien veure la basílica des d'una perspectiva diferent.En: That way, they could see the basilica from a different perspective.Ca: Montserrat va acceptar la idea amb entusiasme.En: Montserrat accepted the idea with enthusiasm.Ca: Amb paciència, van fer cua per accedir a les escales que portaven amunt.En: With patience, they queued to access the stairs leading up.Ca: Quan finalment van arribar, la vista els va deixar sense alè.En: When they finally arrived, the view took their breath away.Ca: Des de dalt, el soroll de la ciutat es tornava un murmuri suau, i el sol començava a caure, tenyint el cel d'un taronja suau.En: From above, the city's noise turned into a gentle murmur, and the sun began to set, painting the sky a soft orange.Ca: Oriol, envoltat per la bellesa de l'escenari, va tenir una epifania.En: Oriol, surrounded by the beauty of the scene, had an epiphany.Ca: Va veure com les formes orgàniques de Gaudí es connectaven amb les seves pròpies idees artístiques.En: He saw how Gaudí's organic forms connected with his own artistic ideas.Ca: Sense pensar-ho dues vegades, va començar a esbossar.En: Without a second thought, he began to sketch.Ca: Montserrat va aprofitar per capturar aquell moment: el seu amic dibuixant, amb una bellesa singular de fons.En: Montserrat took the opportunity to capture that moment: her friend drawing, with a singular beauty as a backdrop.Ca: L'endemà, Montserrat es va llevar encara més d'hora.En: The next day, Montserrat got up even earlier.Ca: Amb la ciutat encara adormida, va capturar fotos netes amb la llum del matí.En: With the city still asleep, she captured clean photos with the morning light.Ca: Cada imatge explicava una història, transmetent no només la grandesa de l'arquitectura, sinó també la tranquil·litat del moment.En: Each image told a story, conveying not only the grandeur of the architecture but also the tranquility of the moment.Ca: Aquella escapada d'hivern va canviar Oriol i Montserrat.En: That winter getaway changed Oriol and Montserrat.Ca: Oriol tornà a casa amb una nova confiança en la seva visió artística, inspirat per la creativitat de Gaudí i per la seva pròpia capacitat de veure el món.En: Oriol returned home with a new confidence in his artistic vision, inspired by Gaudí's creativity and his own ability to see the world.Ca: Montserrat, per la seva banda, va comprendre que les imatges espontànies i plenes d'emoció sovint poden ser més potents que les fotos perfectament planificades.En: Montserrat, on the other hand, understood that spontaneous and emotion-filled images can often be more powerful than perfectly planned photos.Ca: Junts, van entendre que de vegades, les millor troballes es fan des dels cims més alts, tant en l'art com en la vida.En: Together, they understood that sometimes, the best discoveries are made from the highest peaks, both in art and in life.

This podcast interview between Glen Sutherland and Joe Fairless touches on several key insights for those looking to get into real estate investing, particularly through podcasts and attracting investors. Starting a Podcast: Joe reflects on the importance of starting a podcast to build a brand, even if the beginning is slow. He mentions how a podcast can be a tool to connect with experts and share knowledge. He emphasizes consistency, noting how it took him thousands of episodes to gain traction. His advice to Glenn was to keep pushing through challenges and not give up, as this persistence can eventually lead to success. Content Sharing: Joe also advises that authenticity is crucial in content creation. He believes in giving value to your audience without holding back, following the philosophy "The secret to living is giving." He believes that providing value creates a sense of abundance and reciprocity, making it easier to build relationships with your audience and potential investors. Raising Money: When it comes to raising funds, Joe suggests that a podcast or public platform could be an excellent way to attract investors, but it's crucial to first have a solid business plan and team. He also advises making connections by leveraging personal and professional networks. Instead of targeting the wealthiest individuals, focus on connecting with the "social leaders" within your networks, as they can help bring in additional investors. Attracting Accredited Investors: Joe defines an accredited investor as someone who meets specific income or net worth thresholds (e.g., $250,000 in annual income or a $1 million net worth, excluding their primary residence). These investors are key when it comes to raising capital for deals like real estate syndications, particularly under a 506(c) offering, which allows the general solicitation of accredited investors. Real Estate Market Outlook: Despite some concerns about the current market, Joe remains optimistic about purchasing multifamily properties due to the favorable supply-demand dynamic. He advises considering the specific submarkets, but overall, multifamily real estate remains a solid long-term investment, especially when supply is limited and demand remains strong. In summary, Joe's approach emphasizes persistence, giving value, and focusing on relationship-building, whether through podcasts or other channels, to attract the right investors for real estate ventures.
