1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast brought to you by Smart90, inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences. I’m Kevin Brent and in today's episode I’m joined by Greg Baldwin, Managing Director of Highway Traffic Management. Now this is a special one; because we’re revisiting Greg’s journey five years on to see what’s actually happened since our last conversation. And it’s a fascinating look at what real scaling looks like in practice. From rapid 65% growth to deliberately slowing things down, Greg shares why choosing control over speed has been critical to building a stronger, more sustainable business. One standout message really hit home for me: “We realised growth was putting too much pressure on the business and the people; so we chose control over speed.” We also talk about leadership through personal loss, how to protect culture as you scale, and why starting simple with data beats jumping straight into technology. If you’re tired of ending the week busy but no further forward, Smart90 might be for you. It’s a simple 90-day execution rhythm with an AI alignment check that keeps your daily focus tied to what actually matters. Try it free at Smart90.co.uk.
