    We've been very interested in the idea of angel investing over the past 2-3 years and have honestly gotten stumped by how little we know. It seems as though the people doing it have so much more experience and know so much more than us that it's been intimidating us into inaction. Babba's advice takes a very different approach- she advises people not to figure everything out on their own. She shares some great communities and networks that help people get introduced to angel investing as well as her own perspectives on what makes a good deal. This was an awesome episode to hear from both sides: the investor and the founder on the topic of raising capital.

    It's widely accepted that the cost to acquire a new customer is a lot more expensive than to get an existing customer to repurchase from you. In this episode Taylor lays it all out on the table. She talks about the Nudestix philosophy on when to focus more on acquisition versus on retention. I was also interested to hear how involved Sephora was in their product roadmap. This was great learning on the value of working closely with retail partners. Obviously Sephora has seen a lot more brands come through their revolving door and has great advice for newer brands doing this for the first time. Finally, we cover off the idea of product lifecycles and how that creates new dimensions in the customer journey. Tons of great insights here that are easily replicable across industries!
