Raleigh Norton interviews Dr. Benjamin Hardy after a Scaling.com partner threw a "black flag" at Hardy for disrupting company systems. Entrepreneur featured in The Science of Scaling, Mark Young (who moonlights as professional race car driver), explains how racing terminology—yellow flags, red flags, and black flags—applies to business scaling. The conversation explores why predictability and trust are essential for high-speed teams, and how "helpful" CEO interference often becomes the biggest bottleneck in scaling companies.
