Scaling Without Chaos – Building Systems That Support Sustainable Growth
Episode description
Welcome back to Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show that helps coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs grow their business through smarter systems, stronger positioning, and sustainable strategies that actually scale.
In this episode, Karen Roberts sits down with operations and outsourcing expert Penny Camille Lat to unpack why so many businesses struggle during growth—not because they lack ambition, but because their systems can’t keep up.
With over 15 years of experience across customer support, operations, outsourcing, and team management, Pen shares how founders can scale without sacrificing quality, culture, or customer experience.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to do everything yourself, struggled to delegate, or worried that outsourcing means losing control—this conversation is exactly what you need.
