111: Anthony Pierri - How to make Elevator Pitches for B2B Products 41:45

6 днів тому41:45

41:45

The art of crafting a compelling two-sentence company description. Anthony Pierrie dismantles common marketing myths, revealing why product functionality matters more than vague outcomes, and introduces his "positioning anchors" framework. We dive into real-world examples, differentiation strategies, and why founders often sabotage their own messaging. Timestamps 00:01:38 - 00:07:00 The elevator pitch crisis: Why outcomes aren’t enough. 00:07:00 - 00:14:00 Positioning anchors: Primary vs. secondary frameworks. 00:14:00 - 00:25:00 Differentiation: Linking problems to anchors. 00:25:00 - 00:41:17 Positioning pitfalls and real-world applications. Hot Takes 🔥 "Product demos are the highest-value part of sales—not outcomes." Anthony cites a study showing that for companies over $50M revenue, the product demo outweighed outcome-focused pitches. 🔥 "Most elevator pitches fail because they’re stacked secondary anchors." Leading with outcomes like "we save time" without explaining what you actually do leaves listeners confused. Send us a text Leah on Linkedin / Twitter / Youtube…

Timestamps & Segments 00:01:02 – 00:10:00 The Experimentation Conundrum Andres breaks down why most experiments fail, the "VC mindset" for testing, and why a 65% loss rate is better than industry standards. 00:10:05 – 00:20:00 Low Traffic, Big Swings Strategies for companies with limited traffic: why timid tweaks waste time and how to bundle changes for measurable impact. 00:20:05 – 00:30:00 Redesigns: When to Rip the Band-Aid Why most redesigns backfire, how to test without tanking metrics, and the political minefield of shipping "VP-approved" flops. 00:30:05 – 00:40:00 Storing (and Ignoring) Experiment Data The lifecycle of experiment insights, why social proof is overrated, and how to avoid repeating past mistakes (hint: spreadsheets). 00:40:05 – 00:49:00 Hot Takes & Must-Reads Andres’ controversial read on stale A/B testing dogma + book recs to overhaul your product playbook.

106: Evie Brockwell - Burnout, Boundaries & Breaking the Hustle Cycle 53:24

9 weeks тому53:24

53:24

Evie Brockwell unpacks why 92% of PMs are crispy-fried – and why "just meditate more" isn't the answer. We dissect toxic sprint culture, ADHD-friendly boundary hacks, and why treating burnout like a product churn problem might save your sanity (and your career). 🕒 Timestamps 00:02:28 - The Burnout Recipe High-driven PMs + chaotic orgs = guaranteed burnout. It’s not your fault – it’s the cult of "ASAP" as a personality trait. 00:11:38 - Boundaries Aren’t B.S. Why "I’ll just answer this Slack at 10 PM" destroys teams – and how to weaponize app blockers, second phones, and "No." as a full sentence. 00:18:46 - Leah’s ADHD Warfare "Losing parking tickets is my superpower." Tactical tips for neurospicy PMs: rigid routines, external accountability partners. 00:27:28 - Leaders: Stop the Overwork Olympics Why celebrating "Peter works 80-hour weeks!" backfires – and how to spot promotion-induced burnout traps. 00:40:41 - The Feedback Lie "Improve your quant skills" vs. "Be more reliable" – why managers secretly crave PMs who say "This launch can wait". 00:46:26 - Burnout Doesn’t Care About Your Gender Surprise! Men suffer equally – they just hide it better. The real divider? Whether your boss thinks "hustle" is a compliment. 00:52:14 - Exit Strategies When to fix the org vs. flee – and how job hunting (even casually) boosts your boundary-setting muscles. 🔥 Hot Takes "Burnout is a product problem – treat it like churn." If 72% of users quit, you’d fix the UX. Why blame PMs when 92% are drowning? "Your 'high performer' is a liability." Promoting hustle addicts to leadership? Congrats – you just weaponized burnout.

105: Melissa Perri - Why "AI" is a terrible strategist 50:30

10 weeks тому50:30

50:30

Melissa Perri drops truth bombs about why most companies fail at AI integration, how legacy giants self-sabotage innovation, and why "slapping AI on it" is the fastest way to irrelevance. Timestamps & Key Moments 05:59 – AI: Innovation vs. Lipstick on a Pig Why QuickBooks is losing to startups like Digits. Melissa’s rule: If AI doesn’t make the problem 10x easier, you’re just checking a box. 12:36 – Corporate Innovation’s Dirty Secret Legacy companies fear self-disruption. Spin out autonomous teams with clear goals -not just “innovation theater” with beanbags and zero accountability. 20:19 – Boardroom Pressure & AI Hype When investors demand AI, ask: Is this solving a real problem or chasing valuation multiples? Most boards care more about exit multiples than customer value. 24:33 – The “Latent Need” Blind Spot Customers tolerate broken workflows (looking at you, QuickBooks). Spot problems people don’t even know they have. 29:55 – AI’s Mundane Superpower Forget flashy chatbots-AI shines in automating daily struggles (e.g., Superhuman’s email shortcuts). If your team isn’t 10x faster, you’re doing it wrong. 44:10 – AI Ethics: When Algorithms Attack Healthcare horror stories and why AI’s “brilliant insights” can backfire. Treat AI outputs as signals-not gospel-or risk ruining lives (and products). Hot Takes “AI Is a Terrible Strategist” Slapping AI on your product without solving a core customer problem is like putting a rocket engine on a horse cart. It’ll move faster… straight into a dumpster fire. “Legacy Companies Are Their Own Worst Enemies” Corporate innovation fails because leaders prioritize protecting outdated revenue streams over killing them. If your “innovation team” isn’t scared of disrupting you, they’re not trying. Send us a text Leah on Linkedin / Twitter / Youtube…

11 weeks тому53:10

53:10

Forget corporate utopias—John Cutler spills the real tea on why work sucks and why we are messy. On "organized anarchies," why 50% of your team is checked out, and how to turn chaos into strategy. Perfect for you if you are tired of performative frameworks. Timestamps & Key Moments 00:00 - Intro to the Chaos John’s AI-generated roast sets the tone: “Product management’s most unhinged mind” dissects why companies are glorified dumpster fires. 01:56 - Why Work Sucks The “garbage can theory” of organizations: Companies aren’t rational machines—they’re battlegrounds for competing agendas. 30-50% of your team? Pragmatists who’ve stopped rocking the boat. 16:48 - Empowered Teams ≠ Chaos Why autonomy beats bureaucracy: Faster decisions, local context, and fewer dependency hellscapes. Plus, the “mandate levels” model to avoid micromanagement meltdowns. 23:06 - Simplicity vs. Complexity Leah’s restaurant metaphor: A simple menu (3 priorities max) beats a crowded one. Cutler counters: Complexity isn’t the enemy—bad interfaces are. 31:35 - The Physics of Scaling Why SaaS companies implode: Multi-product sprawl and “sublinear complexity” myths. Spoiler: Design decisions > org charts. 40:49 - Force-Ranking Priorities The dark art of saying “not this year” to shiny objects. Why your #4 priority is the silent killer. 49:32 - Skills for the Future Read sociology, not another agile book. Cutler’s pick: Images of Organization to see companies as brains, prisons, or flux. Hot Takes 🔥 “Your ‘A Players’ Are Mythical” 50% of your team is smart-but-checked-out pragmatists. Healthy? Maybe. Terrifying for founders? Absolutely. 🔥 Companies Are Organized Anarchies Profit? Nah. Work is just humans negotiating needs. If your org chart looks rational, you’re lying to yourself. Send us a text Leah on Linkedin / Twitter / Youtube…

47:50

CJ Gustafson (ex-PWC tech CFO, finance provocateur) unpacks how tariffs and economic chaos are gutting SaaS valuations, why AI budgets are CEOs’ midlife crisis splurges, and how to recession-proof your product strategy. Timestamps & Key Moments 00:00 - Tariffs: The SaaS Killer You Didn’t See Coming $1.8T wiped from global equities overnight (worst drop since COVID). Median SaaS multiples crash below 5x forward revenue: “Your customers move atoms, even if you don’t.” 07:46 - CFO Survival Tactics Freeze hires, kill multi-year contracts, and review budgets monthly. Track pipeline exposure to non-tech buyers: “Lululemon’s cloud spend matters more than your roadmap.” 13:42 - Product vs. Finance: The Gross Margin Gap “PMs who ignore unit economics are selling features off the back of a truck.” Why product teams must align with CFOs: “If you don’t understand how you make money, you’re just hanging art in the Louvre.” 20:36 - Valuation Apocalypse: Who Survives? Infrastructure software (Snowflake) vs. niche tools: “Investors treat DCF models like horror movies now.” Recommerce platforms could quietly thrive as luxury retail stalls. 27:22 - The Silent Recession Playbook Over-communicate with employees: “Silence breeds panic.” Pivot to maintenance/workflow tools and re-commerce: “Nobody’s buying new brake pads? Fix the old ones.” 33:23 - Growth Teams: RIP? 49% of engineering budgets go to growth… for now. “AI nukes influencer marketing. Own niche communities or die.” 40:36 - “How Do We Make Money?” (The Only Question That Matters) CJ’s #1 question for PMs: “Stop building for the Louvre. Build for margins.” Why deodorant-branded swag won’t save your burn rate. 🔥 Hot Takes “Your SaaS Isn’t Tariff-Proof” Even if you sell software, your customers (Lululemon, Ralph Lauren) rely on physical supply chains. Their budget cuts will strangle your ARR.

Cue the rapid prototyping, competitor smackdowns, and hot takes on AI hype. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: John’s journey from Google Ads to VC (and why tall founders have an edge) 05:48 – “Vision-driven” is a red flag : Why early-stage startups should ditch grand visions for hypothesis-driven experiments. 11:10 – The Foundation Sprint : Building a business case in 2 days (customer, problem, competitors, differentiation) 23:34 – Slaying competitors (even if they’re “good enough”): Why substitutes and workarounds are your real rivals 30:05 – Fake it ’til you validate it: Prototyping fake products to get real feedback (no coding required)1. 39:48 – Case studies: How Slack, Gmail, and AI material science startups de-risk bets early1. 45:50 – Closing: Why your MVP’s “surface area” matters more than polish (and where to find John’s book) 🔥 Hot Takes “Vision-driven leaders are early-stage liabilities.” Hyping a “beautiful future” without validating assumptions? That’s a 50% failure rate waiting to happen “Your pitch deck is probably BS.” Founders: If your “hypothesis” section is just buzzwords, you’re already behind.

Why building opinionated products is the future, why skipping MVPs in established markets works, and how AI will reshape customer onboarding. When I met Srikrishnan Ganesan for the first time, he impressed me with his original framing of what it means to find (and refind) product-market fit constantly. Timestamps 02:23 – From SMB to Enterprise: Scaling Without Losing Vision Rocketlane’s year-long stealth build focused on unifying project management, docs, and customer portals. The secret? Start with SMBs to validate core workflows before adding enterprise bells and whistles. 07:58 – Pricing for Outcomes, Not Seats Why Rocketlane charges a premium over Asana: their customer portal drives faster time-to-value. But with AI automating workflows, Sri hints at consumption-based pricing coming soon. 22:32 – AI’s Role: Doing the Work, Not Just Organizing It Charge for work done, not headcount, as teams shrink. 31:52 – The Compliance Trap “Get SOC 2 early, even for SMBs.” Sri shares why skipping compliance torpedoes enterprise deals later. Pain now, payoff later. 37:37 – Roadmaps in the AI Era Their moat? Owning the system of record for onboarding to build AI agents that competitors can’t replicate. 42:31 – Enterprise Demands vs. Vision When some clients demanded features, Rocketlane delivered… 18 months later. Sri’s playbook: bake enterprise asks into broader platform goals to avoid becoming a custom dev shop. 🔥 Hot Takes “MVPs are dead for established markets.” Sri’s radical bet: Launch full-featured products from day one in mature categories. Partial solutions get pigeonholed as “just another X”. “SOC 2 isn’t optional—even for startups.” Compliance isn’t just for enterprises. Rocketlane prioritized SOC 2 early to avoid losing deals to legacy players. Painful upfront, critical long-term. Send us a text Leah on Linkedin / Twitter / Youtube…
