Pacing

What Ironman Teaches About Building a Business That Lasts

In endurance tests like Ironman, speed and motivation fade; finishing comes down to holding a pace you can keep all day. What would change if founders ran their business at a pace they could keep all year? A founder who treats every week like launch week wears the team out long before the business finds its rhythm. Growing Graham's business to over 250 clients in 60 countries meant setting a pace the team could keep for years. The right speed for a business is the one that still works when the work piles up. Plan your next quarter around the hours your team can repeat every week, then protect their sleep. Set a pace your team can keep, and you build a business that lasts.

Graham Brown is an author and founder of Podcast Guesting Pro who helps corporate leaders, founders, and storytellers get booked on aligned podcasts and build thought leadership.

He began his career studying youth mobile behaviour and founded mobileYouth in 2001 to understand youth marketing and mobile culture; that early work serving clients such as Nokia, Vodafone, MTV, and Disney shaped his focus on audience insight.

Over time he moved from youth research into audio after seeing business leaders struggle to communicate authentically at scale, which led him to found a full-service corporate podcast agency and develop programs to train hosts and producers.

His route into podcasting combines formal study in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Psychology at the University of Sussex and Entrepreneurship training at Harvard Business School Online with decades of client-facing agency work.

He helps corporate leaders, startup founders, and storytellers find their voice. He leads Pikkal & Co, an award-winning corporate podcast agency, and runs Podcast Guesting Pro.

He previously hosted Asia Tech Podcast and previously grew mobileYouth to over 250 clients in 60 countries; his agencies operate from Singapore with partner studios across Australia, Austria, Canada, Croatia, Ireland, Sweden, the UAE, the UK, and the USA.
