Launching your subscription box shouldn't require a tech degree or a six-figure software stack. Yet too many new subscription box owners spend weeks stressing about tools. Or worse, skip setup until launch week. Let's fix that. In this quick Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through the exact tech tools you actually need to launch your subscription box. Nothing fancy, nothing extra, just what works from Day 1. The 4 Core Tools Every Subscription Box Business Needs Before you launch your subscription box, you need four core systems in place: Website Platform – Shopify or WooCommerce Payment Processor – PayWhirl or Stripe Shipping Software – Shopify Shipping or ShipStation Email Marketing CRM – Klaviyo Hire Out the Tech or DIY? If setting up checkout flows and automations makes your eyes glaze over, you're not alone. You don't get bonus points for doing it all yourself. You can hire someone for a few hundred dollars to get your tech stack up and running, or take it step-by-step yourself.  The key is that everything works before you go live. Test Like a Customer Testing your tech isn't optional. Walk through your own site like it's your first visit: Can you place a test order from start to finish? Do your emails send automatically? Are your shipping options correct? Do recurring payments process properly? Do your confirmation emails look professional? Click every link. Test every flow. You've worked hard to get people to your site, don't lose them because of a broken button or missing email. A Bonus Tool for Staying Organized Is your desk covered in sticky notes? It's time for a free project-management tool like Trello, Asana, or ClickUp. Use it to organize launch tasks, email prep, or even box curation. Each has a free version and will save you serious stress. Take Action Carve out an hour to audit your tech stack. Set up your storefront, payment processor, and email CRM. Run a full test order from start to finish. Make sure every piece, from opt-in to order confirmation, works flawlessly. You don't need the fanciest tools. You just need tools that work.  Keep it simple, get it tested, and be ready when subscribers start clicking “buy.” Join me for this quick, practical episode and walk away with a clear, budget-friendly tech plan that's ready for launch day. Join me in all the places:     Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

What if your next big career move didn't involve managing people—but managing impact? Catt Small joins Lou to unpack the rise of the staff designer: a role that's redefining what senior-level growth can look like for designers who want to lead without becoming managers. Catt shares insights from her forthcoming Rosenfeld book, The Staff Designer: Grow, Influence, and Lead as an Individual Contributor, where she draws on her own experience at companies like Etsy, Asana, and Dropbox—alongside interviews with nearly 30 other design pros—to clarify a path that's increasingly relevant in today's flattened organizations. Catt explains why staff designers thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, influence and diplomacy. Staff design isn't about hierarchy; it's about navigating complexity, guiding quality, and mentoring others, all without direct reports. Whether you're a senior designer wondering what's next or a leader trying to support IC career growth, this episode reframes design leadership for the modern era.

If I were to ask you what the purpose of asana is, what would you say? Would you say it was to feel better in the body? To build strength and flexibility? To prepare the body for meditation practice? To help people connect more deeply to their breath and themselves? These are all beautiful answers!!  But if you gave a very specific movement cue or alignment principle when teaching asana, and I asked you what the purpose of that was, what would you say? I think many of us value clarity and specificity in our teaching, but because of the way we were trained to teach movement, we fall into highly dogmatic or aesthetic based cueing even when that doesn't honor our values.  Today's podcast episode is a deep inquiry into the purpose of asana, especially as it applies to teaching movement in a specific and precise way.  In this episode, you'll hear: a long list of priorities to choose from in your asana teaching why it is so problematic that yoga is sold as a healing practice and taught as a performative practice how this question shows up differently in group classes and private lessons what true co-creation with your students looks like what I prioritize in my movement teaching and why how I recommend you move forward in this inquiry Download The Ultimate Marketing Checklist for yoga teachers from our friends at OfferingTree.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Rosy McEvedy shares that the hardest thing in growing a small business is maintaining consistency while wearing multiple hats—balancing sales, marketing, finances, and customer service all at once. It's challenging to stay focused on growth while handling daily operational fires. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Rosy McEvedy shares that her favorite business book is The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, as it reshaped her mindset about testing ideas quickly, learning from failures, and scaling sustainably without wasting resources.

What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Rosy McEvedy shares that the tool she'd recommend to grow a small business is Trello (or Asana) for managing tasks and team collaboration, along with Canva for easy, professional-looking marketing content. Both help small businesses stay organized and build a professional presence without huge costs. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Rosy McEvedy shares that if she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, it would be: “Focus on building relationships and delivering value first, don't chase perfection, and remember that consistency will beat speed in the long run.” Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

Today on the show we have Casey Hill, CMO of DoWhatWorks, a patented growth experiment tracking engine that reveals which website changes actually drive results. Casey brings experience from ActiveCampaign, his work as a Stanford instructor and advisor, and years of research into how leading companies like Slack, Shopify, and Asana run experiments. In this episode, Casey breaks down why most A/B tests fail and how to focus on the few elements that truly move the needle. We explore why two CTAs often outperform one, why customer logo bars underdeliver, and why expectation-to-reality alignment is the hidden driver of both conversions and retention. Casey also shares how DoWhatWorks blends large-scale data with human research to surface reliable best practices, why expansion revenue has become its biggest growth lever, and how enterprise clients are tackling churn by setting clear expectations from day one. We also discuss how onboarding experiments reduce early churn, why traffic sources should shape your CTA strategy, and why simplicity always wins on pricing pages.As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you.

How do finance leaders enable growth while fostering a culture of partnership, positivity, and saying yes? In this episode, CJ interviews Ed Park, Head of FP&A at Facebook during its explosive hypergrowth years, Head of Finance and Internal Operations at Asana, the current CFO of Daffy, and a “glass-half-full” finance leader. Ed shares stories about working at Facebook in the early days, how he brought finance into the company's engineering and product-first culture, and how he built trust while navigating rapid user and infrastructure expansion. He talks about his role at Asana, why the company plans in episodes, not quarters, how they discovered their unique “three user” metric, and how they transitioned from bottoms-up to sales-led growth. Ed also gives an introduction to donor-advised funds and how Daffy, his current company, is disrupting this field. The conversation covers how a company's business model shapes its destiny, finding the balance between what's urgent and what's important, and Ed's glass-half-full approach to being a finance leader who enables teams by saying yes.—LINKS:Edward Park on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwardyparkDaffy: https://www.daffy.orgCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: RELATED EPISODES:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor — —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:16) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(06:43) Ed's First Job at a Startup: Head of FP&a at Facebook(11:35) Bringing Finance Into an Engineering and Product-Led Culture(16:42) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(20:34) Balancing What Was Urgent Versus Important(25:02) Monetizing Facebook(26:48) Becoming a Glass-Half-Full Finance Leader(33:27) Managing Four Chefs at Asana(35:38) How Asana Plans in Episodes, Not Quarters(42:48) Monetization Model Intuition and the “Three User” Metric(48:13) Transitioning From Bottoms-Up to Proactive Sales at Asana(53:24) Daffy's Monetization Model and Donor-Advised Fund Innovation(57:34) How a Business Model Shapes Destiny(1:00:02) Ed's “How Might We” Approach to Being a CFO(1:01:56) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A Big Mistake(1:04:38) Advice to Younger Self(1:05:44) Finance Software Stack(1:07:57) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Aleph automates 90% of manual, error-prone busywork, so you can focus on the strategic work you were hired to do.

Develpreneur: Become a Better Developer and Entrepreneur

In this season of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a past topic: 'Transform Your Projects: The Ultimate Guide to Effective User Stories.' This episode offers a fresh perspective on how teams can achieve greater success by writing better user stories. The hosts initially tackled this subject in an earlier season, but they return to it because the challenge remains timeless: poorly written user stories continue to derail software projects. This time, they dive deeper into lessons learned, customer-centric approaches, and frameworks that make user stories truly work. Why Writing Better User Stories Still Matters Rob opens with a familiar frustration: sitting in sprint planning and realizing the user stories don't make sense. Vague requirements create confusion, rework, and wasted effort. A user story is not a specification—it's a promise for a conversation that builds shared understanding. By writing better user stories, teams maintain focus on outcomes, rather than implementation. They deliver features that users actually need, instead of technical solutions that fall short. The Philosophy of Writing Better User Stories User stories should always: Stay customer-centric by focusing on what the user wants, not the technical details. Break down work into small, manageable chunks that improve agility and estimation. Emphasize outcomes over implementation, avoiding the trap of data tables and CSS classes too early. Rob illustrates this with the ATM example: “As a customer, I want to withdraw cash so that I can access money in my account.” This keeps the story grounded in the user's experience. The Anatomy of Writing Better User Stories At the core of writing better user stories is a simple formula that makes requirements clear and human: As a [user role] I want [goal] So that [reason] This framework ensures that every story is tied directly to a user's perspective, their needs, and the value they'll receive. However, strong stories extend beyond this sentence structure. Rob and Michael highlight two key frameworks that add depth and clarity: The Three C's – Card, Conversation, and Confirmation, which explain how stories spark dialogue and define “done.” The INVEST Model – Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable- is a checklist that helps teams evaluate whether a story is ready to move forward. Finally, one important reminder: each story should only have one meaning. If a story can be interpreted in multiple ways—or contains “if/then” scenarios—it should be split into smaller, more focused stories. This keeps the backlog clean and avoids confusion later in development. The Three C's of Writing Better User Stories 1. Card The card represents the user story itself. Traditionally, teams would write stories on index cards. Today, tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana take their place. The key is that the card is just a placeholder for a conversation, not the entire requirement. It captures the essence of the story but leaves room for discussion. 2. Conversation The conversation is where the real value happens. Developers, product owners, and stakeholders discuss the story, ask clarifying questions, and uncover details that weren't written down. These discussions ensure that the team shares a common understanding of the user's needs. Without this step, the story risks being too vague or misinterpreted. 3. Confirmation The confirmation defines how the team knows the story is complete. This typically takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases. Confirmation transforms a story from an idea into a verifiable piece of functionality. It answers the critical question: What does “done” look like? Card captures the idea. Conversation builds the understanding. Confirmation proves the work is complete. The INVEST Model for Writing Better User Stories The INVEST model is a simple but powerful checklist that helps ensure user stories are clear, practical, and actionable. Each letter represents a quality that a strong user story should have. Independent A good user story should stand on its own. That means it can be developed, tested, and delivered without being blocked by another story. Independence reduces dependencies and keeps projects moving smoothly. Negotiable User stories are not contracts carved in stone—they're open to discussion. Teams should be able to negotiate details, scope, and implementation during conversations. This flexibility encourages collaboration and prevents rigid requirements that may not fit real-world needs. Valuable If a story doesn't provide business or user value, it doesn't belong in the backlog. Every story should clearly tie back to outcomes that matter for the end-user or the organization. This keeps the team focused on delivering impact, not just features. Estimable A story should be clear enough that the team can estimate the effort to complete it. If it's too vague or too large, it can't be accurately sized. Estimable stories make sprint planning realistic and help track progress more effectively. Small Stories should be small enough to complete within a single iteration. Large stories, sometimes called “epics,” should be broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Small stories are easier to understand, estimate, and test. Testable Finally, a user story must be testable. The team needs to know how to verify it's “done.” This often takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases, ensuring the functionality can be validated from the user's perspective. The INVEST model keeps stories clear, focused, and actionable. If a story fails any of these tests, refine it before moving forward. Lessons From the Trenches: Writing Better User Stories in Practice Michael highlights a recurring issue: customers often don't fully understand their “why.” They may use outdated paper trails, redundant processes, or even misuse tools they already own. Sometimes developers must reverse-engineer requirements by observing workflows, asking why at each step, and uncovering hidden pain points. Rob adds that trust plays a huge role—stakeholders may initially follow the “official” process, but only reveal their real practices after rapport is established. Avoiding Common Pitfalls Even with good intentions, stories can fall short when they are: Too vague or incomplete. Disconnected from actual business processes. Written without acceptance criteria. Michael stresses that implied requirements are dangerous. Developers should always strive for clearly defined acceptance criteria that leave no room for ambiguity or uncertainty. Practical Tips for Writing Better User Stories The hosts wrap up with actionable guidance for developers: Speak up – Don't code vague tickets without asking questions. Push for the “so that” – The business value matters most. Write acceptance criteria – Define what “done” means. Break down big stories – Smaller, testable stories are easier to validate. Stay user-focused – Keep technical details in subtasks, not in the story. Example: Bad: Add a contact form. Good: As a potential customer, I want to fill out a contact form with my name, email, and message, so that I can get in touch with the company about their services. This richer story sparks the right questions: Which fields are required? Should multiple contact methods be supported? These clarifications lead to solutions that match real needs. Final Thoughts By revisiting this subject, Rob and Michael remind us that user stories are more than backlog items—they are bridges between developers and customers. Writing better user stories keeps teams aligned, prevents rework, and ensures projects deliver meaningful results. Implied requirements are not good requirements. Defined requirements are good requirements. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Have you ever dreamed about taking a three-week vacation without your business falling apart?Or maybe just getting a full weekend without checking Slack, Asana, or inboxes that feel like they multiply overnight?Friend, if that feels impossible... I want you to know: it's not. You just need better systems.In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually allows businesses to scale beyond 7-figures: not magic, not hustle... but systems that work without you.I've worked with business owners making $5M, $8M, and beyond—and you'd be shocked at how many of them are still stuck working in the weeds. And guess what? Most of them have one big thing in common: no solid systems.Here's the truth: you have to earn the right to climb out of the work. And you earn it by building systems that empower your team to succeed without you micromanaging every detail.In this episode, I answer real Instagram questions from fellow entrepreneurs (like Alex and Rachel) who are overwhelmed, overworked, and asking: “How do I get OUT of the day-to-day and INTO scaling?”Together we break down:The myth that systems are something you “do later”Why creating SOPs isn't optional if you want to scaleHow we use tools like Notion and Asana to make our systems airtightMy personal 4-step delegation framework I learned from Teresa LoweAnd YES—I even walk you through an actual SOP from my teamThis isn't just a pep talk. It's a practical guide for how to stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that grows without burning you out.You were never meant to build a business that feels like a burden.Let's change that—one system at a time.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:01] Why being overwhelmed is usually a systems problem (not a hustle problem) [00:52] The cost of not having systems: low profit, constant stress, and no scalability [02:44] Why there's never a perfect time to start building systems [03:37] The hard truth: you must earn the right to delegate [05:24] The 4-Let Delegation Framework that changed everything [06:26] Behind the scenes: Our project management SOP process [07:25] How we use Notion + Asana to build repeatable workflows [08:40] Final encouragement: systems aren't sexy, but they will set you freeListen to Related Episodes:How to Create Team Systems and Operations That Simplify Scaling and GrowthHow to Reclaim Your Time and Boost Business Productivity with Nick Sonnenberg

You'll walk away from this episode with a truly fresh perspective. “I had been thinking about Productivity. I have been a student of productivity. I love productivity. I do podcasts about productivity. I read about productivity. I just love it so much. And at the same time, everyone I was talking to, when I would say ‘Hi. How are you?' they would answer, ‘I'm busy. I'm stressed out. I'm burned out. I'm overwhelmed.' It was like every person I'm talking to is feeling this way. So what can I do about it? And I had this idea, maybe I should start a productivity company. I had no idea what that actually meant. I just thought I have an idea. And a few people said to me, it's a good one. And I had one person say to me, ‘What if you did?' I will say that moment changed everything.”
