    The CEO’s Guide to Telling Your Investor to F** ck Off
    Sep 10 2025
    What really happens when the CEO–investor relationship breaks down?

    In this bold first episode of The Modern CEO, Joe Leech and guest Paul Traynor (veteran VC and author) unpack the unspoken dynamics between CEOs and private equity investors.

    Expect sharp insight, real stories, and the kind of candor that never makes it into investor decks.

    From brutal clarity to boardroom blowups, we talk about:
    • When to say “Back me or sack me”
    • Why soft skills matter more than spreadsheets
    • The hidden fears driving investor behavior
    • And what happens when trust breaks down at the top
    No fluff nor filter but straight talk on what it actually takes to lead.
