I fear giving likes to your stories (I did) because I don't want the Medium algorithm sending more success-porn--which at the core, isn't you. I wish you'd pull back a big on the exceptionalism talk. For example, in your bio "high-growth CEOs" The "high-growth" doesn't add anything. It asks a question. Were they already high growth? If so, why do they need you? Do they want to be "high-growth", then isn't that a bit obvious-vile? I'd just remove it. Just a tad cultish. But hey, it's your community...or is it everyone's, even those who hate boasting?

Anyway, enjoyed your piece!
