Scaling Without Screaming

"How 20 Pear Trees Became My MBA"

catherine Kawalerowski Season 1 Episode 2

In this powerful kickoff episode of Scaling Without Screaming™, I take you back to where it all began—not in a corporate office or co-working space, but in a dusty shed on a struggling orchard in Eastern Washington. There were no spreadsheets, no internet, just 20 neglected pear trees and a visionary father who believed in our purpose before we understood it ourselves.

This is the story of how I became the CEO of Green Valley Orchards, learned Lean strategy through lived experience, and why that gritty beginning became the foundation of my million-dollar consulting framework today.

If you're a founder, CEO, or business builder feeling overwhelmed by growth—or like you're scaling but losing yourself in the chaos—this episode will remind you: your mess can become your message, and your systems can set you free.
