About Rhythms of Scale

Hey, thanks for checking out Rhythms of Scale!

I’m Steve Cornwell, and I’ve scaled two startups from zero to strategic acquisition—first, Edifice (acquired by SPS Commerce, NASDAQ: SPSC), and more recently, Northpass (acquired by Gainsight).

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s this:
The hardest part of growth isn’t product or go-to-market.
It’s leading people through scale.

As companies grow, culture, communication, and cadence don’t take care of themselves. If you’re not actively designing them, you’re drifting. And drift is expensive.

That’s why I started Rhythms of Scale.

Every two weeks, I share real-world insights from founders and CEOs who’ve done it—leaders who’ve scaled with intention and learned (sometimes the hard way) how to keep their teams aligned, energized, and focused as complexity increases.

You’ll get:

• How CEOs actually run their leadership rhythms

• Communication systems that build trust and clarity

• Culture habits that scale without turning into fluff

• No academic theory—just tested tools, habits, and strategies

If you’re a founder, CEO, or operator looking to lead with more clarity, less noise, and better results—I’d love to have you join us.

Hope to see you here!

Steve
