How do India's top founders actually think through a P&L? This special episode of #ZeroToInfinity podcast takes you inside Z47's experimental panel event with India's leading consumer founders, including voices from Mamaearth, Urban Company, and Mosaic Wellness. From CAC to contribution margin, & retention to revenue models, Kishan Kashyap, Avnish Bajaj & Chandrasekhar Venugopal, share insights on what it really takes to build a durable consumer business in India today. Listen for a break down of the P&L as a series of strategic choices: It starts with revenue, where TAM is reframed as a lens on market creation vs. market share, and demand signals emerge from how India vs. Bharat actually spends. Gross margin becomes a moat, shaped by what you build vs. buy. Contribution margin reveals the true cost of platforms, and why owning your channel matters. And finally at the bottomline, it's about cash, control, and building a business that lasts beyond funding cycles. Explore the full P&L rethink from an operator founder lens only on the #ZeroToInfinity podcast. 00:25 Introduction 02:32 Breaking Down the P&L of Building Consumer Brands 04:37 Reframing the P&L as Strategic Choices for Founders 04:58 The Revenue Rethink - What & Who are We Really Biulding for? 08:58 Market Creation or Market Share? 12:27 Revenue = Clear Articulation of the Opportunity You're Going After 12:39 Gross Margin Isn't Fixed - It's a Function of the Choices you make 18:43 Don't Just Hope COGS Will Fail - Design Margin from Day Zero 21:39 Contribution Margin: The True Cost of your Channels 25:13 Q-comm's Biggest Mistake: Chasing Scale, Not Sustainibility 28:44 Find the GTM Unlock: PLG, Word of Mouth & Retention 32:52 Bottom Line: Where your P&L becomes your Reality 34:14 RoCE Matters more than EBITDA 35:27 The ZIRP Era Skewed Founder Behaviour 41:20 Limit your Highs.

It was Friday the 13th in March of 2020, and Steven Miller was staring at a suddenly irrelevant budget. Hours earlier Warby Parker had shuttered every one of its 280 stores to protect employees and customers. “Remember that plan we just approved?” he asked the leadership team. “Forget it.” In its place he introduced PAR—Pause, Adjust, Redeploy—a framework that let finance review cash daily, pivot marketing dollars to booming e-commerce, and preserve innovation spend while the world locked down. The episode crystallized Miller's philosophy: data guides decisions, but agility preserves advantage.Raised as a strategy consultant at Monitor Company, Miller learned early to hunt for competitive leverage. A New York City Urban Fellows stint deepened that lesson when a commissioner advised him to “read the budget if you want to know a society's values.” The line sent him chasing the intersection of money and mission—from Flatiron's venture trenches to Majestic Research, where the 2008 crisis forced layoffs and, ultimately, a sale to ITG that began with his cold call. Warby Parker appealed because it made a tangible product and pledged social impact.Miller joined when the firm had 20 employees and no stores; today it approaches 4,000 people and, he tells us, opens “40-plus new locations a year.” Eight capital raises and a 2021 direct listing later, his remit is constant: align capital with purpose. By measuring four-wall EBITDA, inventory turns, and cost lines against revenue, Miller ensures every dollar advances a simple mission—help more people see clearly around the world daily.

A study from Les Binet and Peter Field found that for every 10-point increase in excess share of voice, brands see around a 0.5% annual market share growth on average. But does this marketing principle still hold true in today's fragmented media landscape?This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by VP of Strategy Dan Cleveland to explore excess share of voice (ESOV) and its enduring relevance. They dive into how ESOV correlates with growth, why it's still a valuable planning tool, and what happens when brands let their share of voice slip below market share. Plus, discover why TV remains crucial for building the top-of-funnel awareness that drives long-term brand performance.Topics covered: [01:00] The history of share of voice and why it matters[03:30] How excess share of voice links to market share growth[08:00] When ESOV doesn't work (and what that reveals)[12:30] Using share of search as a real-time metric[16:00] Why top-of-funnel channels drive brand awareness[21:00] The risks of underspending compared to your share of market[27:00] Practical steps to apply ESOV to your strategy To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.

We welcome back Chris Wiseman (Managing Director – Wessex Garages), he first joined us on the podcast 219 episodes ago, and a lot has happened since then. Today we discuss the OEM/Dealer relationship, how that has changed and the key to its success going forward. How the new brands differ in their strategies and culture to the legacy brands and the benefits to that. We then dive into the new and used car markets, the current climate and the challenges ahead. Here are the highlights: {02:25} Growth {05:25} Relationship with your OEM {10:10} Broken Model {11:30} Hybrid Agency {17:33} New Brands {26:06} Market Share {30:31} New Cars {38:55} Used Cars About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

Podcast Episode Overview: Building Momentum with Quick Wins in CRE In this episode of the commercial real estate agent podcast, we're diving into a powerful topic that can transform your commercial real estate results—creating momentum through quick wins. John Highman shares proven strategies and systems that can help you get more penetration and progress in finding listings and clients in your property market today. Have things changed in the property market this year? Yes, certainly. In today's market, it's more important than ever for agents to get closer to the local area, understand what's happening on the ground, and position themselves as the go-to expert for property solutions. Momentum doesn't happen by chance—it's built through daily, deliberate action. Check out our website here with plenty of other articles on this topic. People First One of the most effective ways to generate that forward motion is by getting closer to the people in your territory. That means more face-to-face conversations, more local business outreach, and more research into who owns what, what's for lease, and what's for sale. You become more relevant, helpful, and trusted when you know the stories behind the properties and the plans behind the businesses. Think about your property market now and compare it to the last couple of years. Have things changed for you with enquiry and listings? The answer is 'probably'. For that very reason, this podcast today will help you get some momentum back into your focus and activity. Look around your market and check out the property precincts and situations. That is the important research to do. We also cover how to research property types and locations and how that focus helps you uncover untapped opportunities. Don't forget to specialise in property types and precincts. When you know your niche and the key buildings in it, you're more efficient in your prospecting, more strategic in your presentations, and more likely to uncover quick wins that others miss. Agent Consistency Finally, we talk about consistency—the foundation of momentum. Success in real estate doesn't come from a burst of energy once in a while. It comes from turning good actions into great habits. Always keep things simple in your real estate business and activities every day. In this episode, I'll give you simple, practical ideas to bring more structure into your day so you can find listings faster, connect with the right people, and grow your pipeline.

Jill and Tom opened the show noting that legendary Car and Driver/Automobile Magazine writer Jean Jennings had died. Formerly Jean Lindamood, she had, per Tom, helped define the tone and personality of Car and Driver at a time when the magazine was most influential. Tom went on to question the profile of a LinkedIn user who self describes as, “Gen Z Career Coach, Content Creator, and TikTok Consultant." Listen in for Tom's complete analysis. Jill shared her previously embargoed drive impressions of the all-new Dodge Charger Daytona electric muscle car. Jill noted that social-media trolls are pushing back when it comes to the brand replacing a gasoline-powered V8 engine with electric motors. The hosts also speculated about a possible return of the storied Hemi V8 engine. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions. Sam Laid out the possible impact of massive tariffs applied to vehicles coming out of Canada and Mexico. Sam also explained the history of the “Chicken Tax.” In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Is it a Hyundai?” quiz, and the hosts review October EV registrations—there are a couple surprises on the list.
Theories of nuisance, market-share, and consumer protection liability have become increasingly popular among plaintiffs who cannot trace an alleged harm to any specific defendant. Recently, states and local governments have sought to impose market-share liability on companies based on allegedly misleading statements (or silence) about the potential effects of their products. These cases raise difficult legal issues that remain underdeveloped because the risk of a crippling damages award often pressures companies to settle claims early in litigation.Featuring:Mr. Theodore J.
