How to Finish More by Starting Less with Steven Puri

What if the key to productivity wasn’t doing more, but choosing less?

In this episode of Growth Capital Podcast, Justin Dixon sits down with Steven Puri—former Hollywood executive turned tech founder of The Sukha Company, a productivity platform designed to help people and teams find focus and flow.

Steven shares what he learned from two failed startups, how that pain reshaped his product philosophy, and how the idea of “doing less to finish more” became the foundation of his work. From lessons in listening to users, to designing a product around neuroscience and flow states, this episode is a goldmine for founders, operators, and investors alike.

🔍 What you’ll learn:

• Why most productivity tools encourage the wrong behavior
• How startup failure can lead to sharper product instincts
• The problem with overbuilding—and how to know when to stop
• What flow state really is, and how to design your workday around it
• Why users who pay are the ones worth listening to

🚀 Whether you're scaling a PE-backed company, building your MVP, or just trying to reclaim your workday, this episode will resonate.
