In this episode of The Iteration Lab, Guest Host Carolina Jung sits down with Andrew Curtis, CEO of Clearco, to explore why discipline - not speed - is what ultimately determines whether hypergrowth companies survive their hardest moments.

Andrew reflects on stepping into the CEO role during a period of extreme pressure, following years of rapid expansion, market shifts, layoffs, and recapitalization. Drawing on his background in restructuring and finance, he shares what it takes to stabilize a business when momentum disappears, why transparency becomes essential in crisis, and how focus and execution replace optimism as leadership priorities.

The conversation examines the difference between growth and durability, the hidden risks of moving too fast, and why rebuilding trust with employees, investors, and customers requires patience, clarity, and disciplined decision-making.

This episode offers a candid look at leadership when speed stops being an advantage - and discipline becomes the only way forward.
