19: Chelsea Byers in the hot seat

Our guest today is a high-growth operator and C-Suite leader who has spent years navigating the high-stakes world of education startups. She was instrumental in a growth phase that saw revenues climb to $100M, but her career hasn't just been a series of wins.

In her memoir, Course Correct, she pulls back the curtain on the 'invisible tax' of leadership—from battling clinical depression in the boardroom to navigating infertility and the 'Me Too' era while scaling a company. She calls herself a "human infrastructure builder", focusing on how to grow a business without letting the human fabric of the team rip under the pressure.
