What if scaling your business wasn’t about doing more—but doing the right things better?
What if you could scale your business by 350%, 10X your audience, and prepare for a seven-figure exit—without burning out?
On this episode of The Pauline Chilton Show, I sit down with Justin Abrams, top 1% management consultant and founder of ARYO Consulting Group, who’s helped over 250 businesses—from biotech startups to Fortune 500s—build smarter, scale faster, and exit stronger.
Justin shares:

- How to fix revenue plateaus and uncover hidden profit leaks
- What makes a company ready for expansion (and what doesn’t)
- How premium pricing, niche focus, and operational clarity lead to exponential growth

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
