🌱 Welcome to "SEAD of Thought"

We talk about the stuff that quietly breaks companies—onboarding chaos, misaligned tools, duct-taped IT—and how to actually fix it.

You’d be surprised how many businesses scale fast but leave their systems behind. Or worse—patch them together with Band-Aids, duct tape, and “we’ll fix that later” energy. That works… until it doesn’t.

We started this publication because we’ve spent years inside that mess—helping founders, ops leads, and IT teams untangle their infrastructure, realign with business goals, and stop treating tech like an afterthought.

This isn’t a tech blog. It’s not a newsletter for sysadmins or vendors.

It’s a place for people who care about alignment—between tools, policies, teams, and the work they’re trying to get done. It’s for folks who’ve realized that IT isn’t “just support”—it’s the backbone of how your company actually runs.

🧠 What you’ll get here

• Real-world breakdowns of what goes wrong behind the scenes in fast-growing companies

• Tactical advice on automation, onboarding/offboarding, tech debt, IT policies, and more

• Strategic thinking on how to make your systems serve your business—not stall it

• The occasional rant (with receipts) on the absurd stuff we all just put up with

---

🛠 Who it’s for

• Founders juggling ops debt and system sprawl

• Fractional CIOs trying to keep policy from becoming a punchline

• Ops and IT folks who want to be proactive, not reactive

• Anyone who’s had to explain—again—why shared logins are not a plan

If that’s you, welcome. You’re in the right place.

💡 Why “SEAD of Thought”?

We’re part of SEAD, where we help companies align their systems with their goals. This newsletter is where we share the ideas that grow out of that work.
It’s a space for clear, tested thinking—seeded from real pain points, pruned by practice, and shared so you don’t have to learn it the hard way.
