The Chaos of Scale
Scaling a business is messy and chaotic and the human side of business often feels this chaos most intensely. This show is all about navigating the chaos of scale and fixing the human stuff that breaks, bends, and strains in the process.

Ep. 9 Cancel Noise Intentionally - The Chaos of Scale
Notifications. Banners. Pings. Recurring meetings.
All of it adding noise to an already clanging environment.
This episode of The Chaos of Scale, makes the case for canceling noise intentionally — not to work less, but to work better. To create space for focus, deep work, and just a little bit of breathing room in busy scale-ups where everything feels urgent and everyone needs something from you.
Andy shares why she declines recurring meetings, runs with zero notifications, and owns her own consumption — and why nothing has burned down as a result. We dig into fractured focus, the real cost of constant interruption, calendar clutter, and how low-quality work keeps looping back when we never give ourselves the space to go deep.
This is a practical, slightly renegade take on protecting focus, delivering higher-quality work faster, and reclaiming your sanity without dropping the ball.
You’ll leave with two simple experiments you can try immediately — one for your notifications and one for your calendar — and a challenge to pause for quality instead of reacting to noise.
Business growth is messy.
Your focus doesn’t have to be.
