Asha Sharma leads AI product strategy at Microsoft, where she works with thousands of companies building AI products and has unique visibility into what's working (and what's not) across more than 15,000 startups and enterprises. Before Microsoft, Asha was COO at Instacart, and VP of Product & Engineering at Meta, notably leading product for Messenger.What you'll learn:1. Why we're moving from “product as artifact” to “product as organism” and what this means for builders2. Microsoft's “seasons” planning framework that allows them to adapt quickly in the AI era3. The death of the org chart: how agents are turning hierarchies into task networks and why “the loop, not the lane” is the new organizing principle4. Why post-training will soon see more investment than pre-training—and how to build your own AI moat with fine-tuning5. Her prediction for the “agentic society”—where org charts become work charts and agents outnumber humans in your company6. The three-phase pattern every successful AI company follows (and why most fail at phase one)7. The rise of code-native interfaces and why GUIs might be going the way of the desktop8.

Welcome back Product Bosses! Do you ever feel like the only way to grow your business is to post more, get featured, or go viral? You're not alone. So many of us have been led to believe that more visibility is the magic key to sales success. But here's the truth—more eyeballs on your brand won't fix a leaky sales engine.In this episode, I'm walking you through the core principle we teach inside the Sales Accelerator: before you scale, you need to audit. I share what happens when students like mine land massive visibility—like going viral, appearing on Shark Tank, or being featured by a celebrity —and what actually makes those moments convert into revenue. Spoiler alert: it's not just about traffic. It's about having the right systems in place to convert that traffic into consistent, profitable sales.So if you've ever launched a product, run a promo, or had a viral moment and thought, “Why didn't this convert like I expected?”—this episode is for you.

Struggling to find time for your business while working a 9-to-5 job? In this video, you'll learn actionable strategies to create more space in your schedule so you can grow your side hustle into something bigger. With unwavering belief and the right mindset shifts, you'll discover how to bet on yourself and prioritize what truly matters. Whether you're balancing work, personal commitments, or other obligations, these tips will help you take control of your time and invest in your growth. **KEY POINTS:** - **Renegotiate Your Workload:** Stop saying "yes" to tasks at your 9-to-5 that don't increase your pay. As the host says, “If it's not paying me more, it's eating into the time I could spend on what does.” - **Strategic Use of PTO:** Transform your paid time off into valuable hours for your business. “PTO exists for a reason—use it to serve your goals and dreams,” the host advises. - **Outsource Personal Tasks:** Free up your time by delegating chores like laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Tools like Instacart or services like wash-and-fold laundry can bring you joy and time back. - **Mindset Shifts for Time Management:** Time management isn't about cramming more into your schedule—it's about prioritizing and renegotiating your current commitments to focus on what brings value. This episode isn't just about managing your schedule; it's about building community, finding support, and aligning your time with what's most important to you. Remember, “We make time for what we value, and your business deserves your time.” If you're ready to take control of your time and make bold moves toward your goals, hit that subscribe button, like this video, and share it with someone who needs this inspiration.

We've got a shorter episode this week as all the hosts are super busy, and John's away, but the labor news never stops! We start with a check-in on the war on working people being waged by ICE terrorists, including yet another worker murdered by one of their raids. We also check in on organizing at Starbucks, Instacart, Republic Services, and Activision Blizzard. We've got just two main stories this week, the first covering a recent deep dive by Luis Feliz Leon on the strike by Teamsters at Mauser Packaging Solutions in Chicago, where workers are fighting deadly working conditions and bosses who refuse to agree not to collaborate with ICE. Finally, Air Canada workers who have seen their wages slashed over the past two decades are standing up not only to their employer, but to the Liberal government trying to use the law to force them to end the strike.

Welcome back Product Bosses! This week, I'm coaching Hannah Kirby, the founder of Stable-ish—a brand that's reimagining how we talk about and accessorize mental health. After her heart-shaped pill case took off on Etsy, Hannah found herself with a loyal audience, a strong brand, and real traction. But despite that success, she's stuck. Not because of strategy, but because of mindset. And if you've ever felt that invisible resistance too—like you're not sure you're allowed to go after the life you want—then Hannah's story is going to hit home.In this episode, we go beyond tactics and dive into what's really holding Hannah back: the fear of not being worthy enough to do this work, and the legacy beliefs that tell her she should play it safe. Together, we explore how to rewrite those inner narratives so she can confidently step into the business owner she already is.You don't want to miss this one. It's a powerful reminder that the business you're building isn't just about products—it's about your personal growth, your legacy, and the belief that you're allowed to want more. Tune in to get re-inspired and start shifting your own mindset today.Resources:Learn more about Stableish and Hannah's work around mental health awareness.

Breakthroughs rarely come out of nowhere. What looks like an “overnight success” is usually the result of years of iteration, timing, and assembling familiar pieces in a new way. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore the real nature of innovation—especially in financial advising—and why the magic isn't in inventing something completely new, but in seeing what already exists through a different lens. Whether it's the rise of the iPhone or the quiet pivot from Webvan to Instacart, the most successful ideas often emerge when the market, the technology, and consumer behavior finally align.The good news? Innovation isn't just for visionaries or tech founders—it's a skill we can all develop. I talk about how becoming a sharper observer of failure, a student of other industries, and a strategist with timing can make any advisor more innovative. It's not about building from scratch; it's about recombining existing tools and ideas in ways that meet today's moment. And it's often the firms that pay attention to how consumer expectations are shaped outside our industry that gain a real edge.If we can shift away from the pressure to create the next big thing and instead focus on finding timely, relevant solutions using what's already in front of us, we'll open the door to more consistent innovation. The firms that win in the long run aren't necessarily the most inventive—they're the most curious, the most observant, and the most willing to rethink how the pieces fit together.

Welcome back, Product Bosses! I know so many of you are out there asking yourselves, “How can I grow this business if I don't have a big following?” Trust me, I hear this all the time—and I'm here to tell you that you do not need a huge audience to build a successful product-based business. In this re-air of one of our most-loved episodes, I share the story of how I launched my brand, Cuffs Couture, with no social media and no email list—and still turned it into a six-figure success.What changed everything for me? Learning to get in front of other people's audiences. In this episode, I'll walk you through how you can do the same—whether that's selling on Amazon, at in-person markets, or to wholesale accounts. These are all visibility channels that already come with built-in customers ready to buy. I also talk about why relying on “free” social media isn't always the smartest path, and how to create a strategy that doesn't rely on going viral.So if you've been feeling stuck or discouraged about your follower count, this one's for you. You can still build a thriving business—and I'll show you how to start exactly where you are.Note: In this re-aired episode there is mention of one of our programs called Multi-$tream Machine (MSM). Since the original airing of this episode, this program has been updated to be called The Sales Accelerator.

Hey there, Product Bosses! In this episode of the Ask Jacq Series, I'm answering a hot question from one of my students who absolutely dominates at her local farmer's markets—making $3,000 in just four hours—but can't get those happy shoppers to buy online. Sound familiar? Whether it's due to product challenges (like meltable body butters in summer heat) or a website that's just not converting, we dig into what's really going on and what you can do to shift from one-time market sales to recurring online revenue.We talk through how to nurture those leads, and why your website needs to pass the “grandma test” in order to convert. From simplifying customer expectations to improving messaging clarity, this episode is packed with ideas to help you bridge the gap between in-person connection and online convenience.If you're a product-based business owner who sells at markets, pop-ups, or in-person events and you want to grow your online store, tune in now. I'll show you how to meet your customers where they are—and guide them right into your virtual checkout.Resources:If you've ever wished that someone would just tell you exactly what works when it comes to scaling your product brand into real money, then I have something really special for you.

This episode was shot LIVE at the Cannes Lions festival of creativity at Cannes, France. **A reminder - LIVE episodes are taken from conference floors, there may be background noise or interference**The CPGGUYS are joined by @Jody Hallman, VP of integrated marketing at Perdue farms & SVP of account management at Colle McVoy - Kate Frank.This episode is another masterclass given by a brand marketer and a partner agency.Find Jody Hallman on Linkedin :https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodyhallman/Find Perdue Farms on Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/company/perdue-farms/Find Kate Frank on Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/katehfrank/Find Colle McVoy on Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/company/collemcvoy/Here's what we asked them :Jody -  Perdue is a legacy brand with a strong reputation for quality and trust. How are you evolving that brand story for today's consumers?"Both - How do you ensure alignment when it comes to short-term performance goals vs. long-term brand building? Kate - specifically from the agency side, how do you ensure that creative excellence lives within a results-driven, omnichannel world?Kate - What does great storytelling look like in a category like fresh meat and poultry, where shopper decisions are often quick and price-sensitive?Jody - How do you craft campaigns that stay true to Perdue's values while still driving conversion at shelf or online? Both - How are you both navigating the growing influence of retail media networks on creative, messaging and measurement? How is Perdue operating beyond owned channels for co-creation with consumers? (this is space to directly speak to “Winging It” effort.)How has leaning into improv informed greater ways of working between Perdue and Colle McVoy as it relates to where to take risks, show up differently with consumers and have some brand spontaneity? Kate - What have you learned about integrating upper-funnel storytelling with lower-funnel activation across platforms like Instacart, Walmart Connect, etc.?What brought you here? How has this conference been? What are some themes that intrigued you? Both - What trends are you watching closely as you plan for the next 12–18 months in CPG marketing?"CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comCPG Scoop Website: http://CPGscoop.comRhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/Subscribe to Chain Drug Review here: https://chaindrugreview.com/#/portal/signupSubscribe to Mass Market Retailers here:https://massmarketretailers.com/#/portal/signupDISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

Hey there, Product Bosses! In today's Ask Jacq Q&A, we're diving into one of the biggest roadblocks for product-based business owners—pricing. Whether you're worried about charging too much or finding customers who “get” your value, this episode is here to shift your mindset and show you what's possible.First, I chat with one of my longtime students turned Product-Boss coach who took her $1 cookies and turned them into a $100K+ business—all by shifting her pricing and confidence. We talk about how she reframed her brand as a luxury item, leaned into value-based pricing, and found creative ways to grow using wholesale deals and strategic partnerships.Next, I answer a question from a designer who's getting resistance from customers around price. But here's the twist—those customers might not be her ideal audience. We unpack how to stop relying on feedback from friends and family and instead ask the right questions to connect with the people who will actually buy (and love!) your product at full price.If you've ever second-guessed your pricing or felt pressure to keep it “affordable,” this episode will help you reframe, refocus, and price like the CEO you are.Resources:Discover how to get your products Seen and Sold by joining my 5-day visibility boot camp.

Hey there, Product Bosses! In today's Ask Jacq episode, we're diving into the question every product-based business owner asks at some point: How can I make more per order—without running constant discounts? I'm sharing two live coaching clips straight from my programs, where I help real students work through their pricing and bundling strategies in real time.First, I speak with a skincare entrepreneur, about how to bundle her best-selling products in a way that feels like a complete solution for her customers. We talk about creating intentional regimens (like anti-aging or dry skin kits), offering small value-based incentives, and reinforcing her brand through packaging and bonuses. Then, we shift into a conversation about subscriptions—and why I usually recommend holding off on those until your business has steady repeat customers.Next, I coach a jewelry maker from the UK who's exploring how to increase her order value at in-person markets and on Etsy. The key? Understanding what your customer actually wants. We talk about analyzing buying behaviors, testing product groupings, and letting data—not guesswork—drive those decisions.If you're trying to grow without adding more complexity, this episode is packed with practical takeaways. Tune in and discover how to increase your AOV (average order value) in ways that align with your brand and make sense for your customer.Resources:Say hello to the Accelerate Your Sales podcast bundle.

Hey there, Product Bosses! In this Ask Jacq Q&A coaching session, I'm answering questions straight from the students in my programs—and they're ones you've probably asked yourself. First up, what do you do if your product sales drop during half the year, and you rely on a single revenue stream link Shopify during the slower months? I help one business owner create a plan to stabilize her income and use this slower season to prep for major growth. Spoiler: It's not about doing more—it's about being strategic.Then, I coach another student who sells high-end camping tents and wonders if her revenue gap should be bigger due to her higher price point. In this episode, we get into how to set realistic, but stretchy, sales goals that reflect your pricing and support the business you want to build. Whether you sell $30 products or $2,000 ones, this conversation will help you better understand your numbers and what they're telling you.This episode is for every product-based business owner who's been wondering how to balance seasonality, make more money with the customers you already have, and build revenue with intention. Grab your notebook and let's get into it—because your sales goals are totally within reach.Resources:Say hello to the Accelerate Your Sales podcast bundle.

This week, Jason is joined by  social media personality, content creator, and star of the Savannah Bananas baseball team, Jackson Olson! Jackson, a former collegiate baseball player who had inspirations to go pro after school, gained recognition from his baseball related TikTok content. After raking in over 2.5 million followers, he caught the eye of the MLB and Savannah Bananas, eventually giving him roles in social media and on the team and becoming the star attraction. The Savannah Bananas are the semi-pro baseball team focused around the fan experience with their brand of banana ball similar to the decades long format of the Harlem Globetrotters.  Jackson shares why he turned down being drafted by the Diamondbacks and how the pandemic reshaped the MLB draft. He opens up about the financial realities of minor league life compared to the majors, the decision to work for Instacart and document it online, and the full-circle moments that followed in his social media journey. From joining the first wave of MLB content creators in 2021 to carving out a role with the Savannah Bananas, Jackson dives into the business side of baseball entertainment, how he handles negotiations, and what it means to break the barrier between fan and player. He also touches on landing his Reebok deal, why he follows his energy over just his dreams, what keeps him mindful of his online presence, his current relationship status, spending habits, and more. Jackson reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
