Take the Blame and Your Team Will Take Bigger Risks | The Scaling Executive Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shalabh Gupta, Founder and CEO of Unicycive Therapeutics, to discuss what it really takes to scale a company in a high-stakes industry. We talk about prioritizing when everything feels urgent, creating a culture where employees are not afraid to take risks, identifying your blind spots as a leader, and continuously upgrading yourself as a CEO. Shalabh also shares lessons from taking a biotech company public, working with investors, and using AI to accelerate growth and commercialization.
