It’s been a crazy couple of decades for marketing – especially with all the changes to the internet environment. We went from the wild west of the late 90’s – to performance based direct response in the first decade of the century – to social media, and then to peak data with cookies connecting every piece of data together. Then a single iPhone update brought it all crashing down. Today’s guest, Jeff Greenfield, has been working in the space throughout it all – and now he’s helping companies ...
Over the years, as I’ve met hundreds of founders and talked about their challenges, I’ve often had this illusion that there are a million different problems holding startups back. But recently – as I really dug into it – I’ve realized that there is really 1 problem that defines whether or not a startup is going to go to the moon – or fizzle out and die. Today’s guest, Alex Kottoor has made a similar observation. The distinction is around whether or not you achieve product market f...
We’ve talked quite a bit on the pod about Product Market Fit – and hammered home how critical that milestone is to the success or failure of any startup. But there’s an even more important factor that needs to be considered – and that’s founder market fit. Before starting his current venture, today’s guest, Shawn Miller, developed a deep understanding of the problem he wanted to solve through his own direct experiences. Not only does founder market fit make it easier to persevere ...

During our conversation, we talked about: · How Hudu is revolutionizing the way people find help for odd jobs and tasks · The challenges of building and scaling a two-sided marketplace ·&nbs...
The entrepreneurial journey is full of ups and downs, pivots and persistence. Our guest today has lived that roller coaster and is now helping other founders navigate it. Jessica Lynch is a tech founder turned investor, and during our conversation, we talked about: - How early entrepreneurial experiences, even failures, can plant the seeds for future success - The importance of customer discovery and market research before building a product - How to pivot a business model when faced with maj...
Like all of us, today’s guest had to face the hardships brought on by the global pandemic in 2020 – one of which was having her children learn at home instead of in school. But for her and her kids, something peculiar happened – and they actually thrived in the online experience. She later learned that other parents and their kids did not, unfortunately, thrive to the same degree – and this led her to try to figure out what worked for her – and how she could share that. This inspired the cr...
The startup journey is full of twists and turns – but it can also present new opportunities as you go down the path. Today’s guest, Katelyn Alberts started her journey with the idea of building a marketplace – and quickly transformed it into something even greater than that.
