Why philosophy matters for growth
Most growth advice treats you like a machine. Optimize inputs, maximize outputs, scale infinitely. But you're not a machine. You're a human building something that matters.
This framework emerged from studying Vervaeke, Watts, Camus, and Frankl—philosophers who understood the meaning crisis we're all navigating. Their insights apply directly to entrepreneurship: how to find flow in creative work, how to accept uncertainty without paralysis, how to love the process even when outcomes are unclear.
The results speak for themselves: 40K wishlists in 48 hours without paid ads. A 30-person team that doesn't burn out. Clients who scale without losing their souls.Read my full story
The Framework
Three Pillars for Conscious Entrepreneurs
Each pillar represents a dimension of sustainable growth. Together, they create a foundation for building businesses that scale without sacrificing what matters most.
Flow: Your Competitive Advantage
The state where you merge with your work. Time disappears. You're fully present. This is where your best work happens.
Flow is what Mihály Csíkszentmihályi studied for decades—the state of optimal experience. It's not about working harder. It's about working in alignment with who you are.
When you're in flow, the internal critic disappears. There's no conflict between what you're doing and who you are. You're not forcing it. You're channeling it.
For Founders: Build businesses around your natural strengths, not what you "should" do. Cathedral Studios works because it's at the intersection of gaming, AI, and storytelling—all things I care about.
For Teams: Place people where they naturally excel. 40K wishlists came from a team working in their flow zones—not grinding against their nature.
- ✓Growth Hacking: Find the 20% of channels that create 80% of results—where your team naturally flows
- ✓Team Building: Hire for natural strengths, not resume checkboxes. Flow-based teams outperform credential-based teams
- ✓AI Strategy: Use AI to handle what drains your flow, amplify what enhances it. I use AI for localization so I can focus on storytelling

I help startups find their 20% — the channels, tactics, and strategies that drive 80% of results. 40K wishlists in 48 hours wasn't luck. It was systematic: reverse-engineer the platform (Steam), focus on high-leverage tactics (localization), and execute with precision.
