- Frannie Matthews sits down with Charles Fred, Chairman and CEO of TrueSpace, to talk about the businesses that get overlooked once the startup phase ends. Charles explains what TrueSpace does to help companies that have moved past starting but haven't yet scaled, a group he says makes up 40% of the American workforce and rarely gets credit for their resilience.
The conversation covers how TrueSpace measures a company's capabilities using data built in partnership with the Gallup organization, why chasing high growth revenue can hold a business back, and why clarity on a company's direction matters more than fast expansion. Charles also shares practical advice for founders trying to figure out what to focus on first when there's more work to do than time to do it.
