Today's guest, Anna Gong, founded Perx Technologies in 2014. Her discussion with Paddle's Neel Desai is a curious one when it comes to the topic of game theory and gamification. While gamification might feel gimmicky and drive shallow customer engagement, it can actually be a tool for good (if done properly). Neel and Anna go over a number of topics in the episode but we'll give you an overview of what you need to know below.High Level OverviewUtilize different game theory mechanics such as leader boarding, badging, teaming, social virality, quests, missions, and other games.Focus on increasing financial literacy and wealth savings, rather than just driving user behavior for spending.You can augment your enterprise motion with Product-Led Growth with an initiative to rally behind.Use AB testing to determine the most effective way to engage customers.Don't just dangle a voucher or cash back, but continuously engage customers.Using Game Theory to Drive Customer LoyaltyGame theory is a powerful tool for driving customer loyalty and engagement. By utilizing different mechanics such as leader boarding, badging, teaming, driving, social virality, quests, missions, and other games games, you can create a challenging effort to achieve a purpose that customers will be more likely to engage with. Here are some tips for using game theory to drive customer loyalty:Utilize Different Mechanics: There are a variety of mechanics available to use when employing game theory to drive customer loyalty. These include leader boarding, badging, teaming, driving, social virality, quests, missions, and other games games. Each of these mechanics can be used to create a challenging effort that will give customers a sense of purpose and get them more engaged with your product or service.Instant Gratification: Customers need to be instantly gratified and rewarded for frequently interacting with a brand, rather than just being offered a voucher or cash back. Utilizing game theory rewards can help to ensure that customers are rewarded for their loyalty and will keep coming back.Focus on Financial Literacy: Rather than always focusing on spending, it can be beneficial to pivot campaigns to increase financial literacy and wealth savings. This can be done through creative campaigns that aim to solve certain business challenges.Be Creative: Utilizing game theory to drive customer loyalty is an effective way to increase engagement and loyalty. However, it is important to be creative and think outside the box. Consider different strategies and mechanics to create a unique experience that will get customers excited about your product or service.Further LearningsFollow Anna Gong on LinkedIn and Twitter.Play Flappy Bird (at your own risk) here.

Discover how building a strategic narrative can revolutionize your category creation process and grow your business! You will learn to use strategic narrative building to transform your category creation process and expand your business. "It's not the smartest or the quickest that survive, but those who are most responsive and able to change." - Andrew Davies. Andrew Davies is the Chief Marketing Officer at Paddle, a payments infrastructure for SaaS businesses. He has extensive experience building out leading go-to-market strategies, building an unignorable brand, and winning customers at scale. Andrew Davies is a risk-taker who loves working with intelligent people and building high-performing teams. He believes that when scaling a business, having a team that works well together and understands the game's rules is more important than having the smartest individuals. Through his journey, Andrew learned about using strategic narratives and category creation, which involves having a differentiated point of view, creating a mini-category, and having patience with the process. He experienced this first-hand when working with a private equity firm, forming a narrative from disparate businesses and creating a mini-category of content intelligence. Andrew's experience taught him that the best stories are ones that customers can communicate within their organization. In this episode, you will learn the following: Why does it seem like everyone is pursuing category creation? Is it worth it?Why businesses need to understand there are multiple routes to growthDoes growth boil down to one smart individualThe benefits of leading a category: Learn what it takes to become an industry leader from a company that has experienced success in the marketCrafting a compelling narrative: Discover how to craft a unique and compelling story that will resonate with customers, employees, and investors alikeThe power of patience: Understand why patience is critical when creating a successful category and how to effectively communicate it down multiple levelsHow culture and narrative play a role as a company scales and or acquires businessesAnd much, much more...

If you've ever watched Shark Tank or pitched your own business, you're familiar with the concept of addressable market, or total addressable market (TAM). It's an ever important metric to determine whether the thing you're talking about has room for growth or - to put it simply - a way to quantify how many people care or could care about the thing you're selling.I told you that to tell you this: Pickleball is booming.A couple of facts point us in that direction, but most importantly, market size. According to Marketwatch, The global pickleball Paddle market - that's just paddles - was valued at $126.5 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $218.2 million by the end of 2026.People are making pickleball a business and business is booming. But outside of that, regular humans are loving the game: according to the Sport and Fitness Industry Association, it's the fastest growing sport in the US. How big is it? 4.8 million people played it in 2021.There's even a major league of pickleball, which - get this, wants to bring the number of people playing pickleball in the US up to 30 million by 2030.Investors in Major league pickleball include Naomi Osaka, Kevin Durant, Patrick Mahomes, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Heidi Klum, and Budweiser just to name a few. By the way, pro Pickleball is going to be interesting - there's going to be relegation and promotion - if you've watched Ted Lasso (or European football in general), you're familiar with the drama of that.So, on this week's episode of the podcast, we dig in. We talk about how we found the game, Chris shares what led him to build a business in the racket sports space, and we generally just have a fantastic time.References: Toss and SpinToss and Spin on InstagramChris on aSweatLife, Why is everyone you know playing PickleballThe New York Times, Pickleball WarsFrom aSweatLife, A workout to prepare to play pickleballFrom market watch, Pickleball paddle market sizeThe Wall Street Journal, Pickleball investmentsNPR, Inside America's Fastest Growing SportKevin Durant and pickleballForbes, celebrity Pickleball investmentsBloomberg Business of Sports Podcast, Celebrity investors in Pickleball (ft.

There is a sweetspot when we play pickleball. Not the paddle (though that one exists too) – your sweetspot. Finding that place from where you are going to play your best and keeping it takes practice. In this episode we explain the concept of finding that edge and then give you some tips to keep it where you want. Understanding your energy level will help you avoid overheating or playing lackluster. And what about those serve rules? We are getting asked all the time about them. Can you still spin the serve? In this week's episode we dive into this confusing area and clear it up for you. Join us inside the System here. Check out Tyrol shoes here. Sign up here to get our weekly emails.

Welcome to another episode of the Product Thinking podcast. This week, host Melissa Perri is joined by Patrick Campbell, CEO of Profitwell. They discuss all things pricing, diving deep into the psychology behind pricing models and how to choose a pricing strategy. Patrick talks about the biggest mistakes businesses make when pricing, when and how often you should be raising your prices, how to align your price changes with your value metrics and communicate those changes to customers, and more.  You'll hear Melissa and Patrick talk about: Patrick's team developed a financial analytics product and decided to give it away for free in order to get more data and improve their algorithms. 37,000 companies have used it in the past seven years. Patrick's company was acquired by Paddle for $200 million in May 2022, with a mission to grow subscription companies automatically. Pricing is a core competency for a business and should not be treated as a quick task to be done and moved on from. It is the very essence of a business as it represents the value of a product or service and how it is perceived by customers. Businesses should experiment with monetization once per quarter and raise prices once per year. Raising prices too often can lead to customer churn. However, this eventually normalizes as ‘fence-sitting' customers leave. Make sure your price increase is justified by the value you provide to the customer. Align your pricing with a value metric, such as revenue. Packaging and pricing go hand in hand and can be thought of in terms of charging different prices for different pieces of value of the product. Sustaining a social media platform like Twitter is difficult, and it can be hard to monetize. Adobe's move from selling Photoshop for $1,000 to a subscription model of $32 a month was an "eye-opening" change that allowed for more investment in the product. It's important to get the finance team aligned with the move to a subscription model, as costs will initially go up and revenue will initially go down. Pricing is a whole company problem, not just a product problem. Resources Patrick Campbell Website | Email | LinkedIn ProfitWell

Who is Jake Stachovak, and why did I decide to make a special episode just about him? Well, Jake is a paddler, and I would say just like the rest of us, but he wasn't. There was only one Jake Stachovak. Today's episode will share some of the paddling highlights of the Great Loop trip that Jake brought to episode #2 while also hearing from just a few of his friends telling you about Jake as a person.  Jake, thank you for the memories. Thank you for the inspiration. Thank you for the laughs. We are all better for knowing you. Paddle on, my friend. We miss you.   Photo Credit: Michael Franklin

He's also Layka's handler, who, if you haven't heard, is one of the most famous dogs to come out of the military in recent memory.With Julian in tow, MPC Layka's graced the cover of National Geographic, been the subject of an HBO Documentary, and even helped Channing Tatum make a little movie called 'DOG'. But when you ask Julian just what makes Layka so special, it's not just the dog, but Benno - the one who showed Julian the way - that really counts.----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:45 - Seeds of Terror10:00 - Childhood Memories12:00 - First the Gym, Then the Sauna16:00 - Born at Cannon Air Force Base19:00 - Grandpa Beat Us on the Bus24:00 - So Then I Got Expelled31:15 - I'd Like to be a Ranger39:00 - Baptized by Gunfire43:30 - SEAL Team 6 & A Family Reunion49:30 - Civilian Contractors On Target56:30 - An Offset Infil1:02:45 - Two Deployments in Tikrīt01:11:00 - A Dog Handler in 200901:19:30 - My First Dog Benno01:30:00 - Two Bravo01:43:00 - Fentanyl Lollipops01:54:30 - Surviving an IED, Barely02:33:00 - Practically Full-Time Training02:20:00 - A Tunnel Bite Story02:25:00 - What Made Benno Exceptional02:44:00 - The Dog Takes Drugs02:48:00 - This Is It02:58:00 - Benno's Last Deployment03:17:30 - And Then I Had Layka03:24:00 - Layka Gets Shot03:36:00 - A Seven-Hour Amputation03:44:00 - Adoption Papers03:52:00 - Becoming a Symbol03:57:00 - Two Years Sober04:01:00 - Withdrawals on Deployment04:05:00 - Finding Myself04:11:00 - Mike on Rico04:18:00 - Giving Gifts ----------Support Julian McDonald:Website - MPC Layka Statue Fund - https://www.scottswish.org/mpc-layka-statue-fundIG - https://www.instagram.com/trent_k9 ----------Sponsors:MyBookieSign up at MyBookie, use my promo code MIKEDROP and you'll instantly get a deposit bonus up to $1000!----------Black BuffaloGo to blackbuffalo.com/discount/MIKEDROP and use promo code Mike Drop at checkout for 15% off your first order!----------MUD/WTRGo to mudwtr.com/mike to support the show and use code MIKEMUD for 15% off!----------BUBS NaturalsThe BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB' Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Media-Led Growth (MLG) is a term first introduced here on the Metrics that Measure Up podcast and the central theme of this episode.Who better to discuss this topic than Patrick Campbell, Founder, and CEO of ProfitWell, recently purchased by Paddle for an unofficial $180M+Patrick was a pioneer in building brand media assets inside a B2B SaaS company at ProfitWell - what led to the decision to invest in media properties?ProfitWell was facing a common challenge that most B2B SaaS companies face, how to sustain growth and generate "outsized" gains in a very competitive landscape. Eight (8) years ago the macro-level environment was different. Early on, email open rates were much higher, Google ads were much lower, and social media channels were just beginning to gain relevance. Over the last 3 - 5 years, those digital channels become noisy and much less effective.Resultantly, Patrick was looking for a more innovative, and more efficient marketing channels. ProfitWell was bootstrapped, which made efficient growth an even higher imperative. Early on, Patrick started posting information on churn rates, retention rates, and pricing which was a less saturated topic.Quickly, Patrick found the content was resonating, and based upon research discovered that traditional inbound marketing strategy (blogs/ebooks/whitepapers) averaged 1.6 touches per week from a qualified lead and traditional media companies average 5+ touches per week. With Customer Acquisition Cost increasing, Patrick had a hypothesis that media might be a "marketing secret weapon" within ProfitWell.On an economic basis, Patrick discovered they could produce a media asset like a podcast or video series with 13 episodes for the same or even less money than a traditional content marketing asset. As such - ProfitWell created multiple media assets - a media company inside a B2B SaaS company. Moreover, this "pool" of media properties provided an opportunity to engage potential buyers and influencers weekly. Additionally, Patrick didn't stop at a single media asset, at one point in time ProfitWell had 9 different media properties that engaged different buyers with different subjects.Patrick framed the value like this "imagine having 500 people attend a webinar you sponsor every week!" Having "shows based on the "problem and/or role" that ProfitWell was trying to reach as potential buyers of their SaaS product was the primary focus. This resulted in a "grid" of content and buyer personas that informed the decision to create multiple media properties. Patrick also highlighted the importance to measure performance early and continuously to end any properties that are not producing positive returns as measured listeners, downloads, and engagement.I asked Patrick "is audio or video the best place to start?" Patrick highlighted that audio is an easier and cheaper way to start, but introducing a video asset is a natural evolution.Finally, we pivoted to ProfitWell's use of "benchmarks" as another asset. Patrick started with his belief that benchmarks are not used properly. Benchmarks provide a "focus" on which metrics to review and where to prioritize focus. Those areas where your internal metrics are far off the benchmarks are a great place to start. If you are a B2B SaaS founder/CEO, Chief Marketing Officer, or other Go-to-Market executive looking for innovative and differentiated ways to reach your target audience and increase the frequency of engagement, this podcast is a GREAT listen that is chalked full of thought-provoking ideas from an expert!!!

Ever wonder what the difference is between those who whine about things, and those who seem to be able to learn from experiences and use tough experiences to alchemize positive change? In this episode of Waves of Joy Podcast featuring Mesha McKittrick we dive into learning about mindset and how to go from a whiner to a "why-ner". Here are the takeaways... Remember there is purpose in the fog Stories from other people help us understand ourselves Small tiny shifts make a big difference There is choice in what we think and say. The choice to be positive or negative is yours Answering the question "How was your day?" can be life-changing when you make the first three things you say positive Change is the only real constant Give yourself credit for what you've been through We can ask why and go from being a whiner to being a "why-ner" There is tremendous value in spending time alone Mesha is a mindset coach and creator of the podcast, Mindset Check. Through her brand My Friend Mesha, she is a Coach, Social Influencer and a Public Speaker. She graduated from ASU with a degree in Communications and an emphasis on Family Studies. Her passion is teaching people that they have more power than think they do. She believes that what matters in life is NOT what happens, what matters is what you THINK about what happens. Mesha has been married to her boyfriend for 23 years. She has 3 boys and an angel girl and she absolutely adores being their mom. She geeks out about the brain and quantum physics and loves to learn endlessly about this topic. She is a yogi inside and out and if you put on a good beat she can't help but dance! Paddle boarding and hiking add to her happiness! She knows that when we live inspired it causes us to take actions that we otherwise would not have taken. It's important for her to help others consistently take mindset checks so that they can live as their highest and best selves.

Welcome back to Faster Than Normal. My name is Peter Shankman. I am thrilled that you're here for another episode. We are talking again to a recurring visitor, Sharon Pope. Who was on about two or so years ago runs a company called Shelpful, and I love the concept. It's the instant accountability service that pairs you with a real human buddy to help you build good habits, like big habits like getting exercise or small habits like taking out the trash on time. I could use one to remember to walk my dog, but actually we can do that too. the dog. The dog reminds me to do that. I could, I could use my other thing, but, um, awesome. You are, I mean, Sharon, Sharon has tons and tons of, of awesome background. We've had her on before. Um, she ran marketing products. She was a, she, she advised startups at Y Combinator. She worked at zero down Green dot GoBank Loops. She managed PR back in the.com boom for a bunch of tech companies. So she's, she's been around the block quite a few times. So Sharon, welcome. At the beginning of the year here, 2023. Tell us what's been going on in the world of she and, and, and what, what new and interesting things you're doing and how, more importantly, how can our listeners take away some advice on building good habits, good rituals, forget about resolutions, let's talk about rituals.  [00:02:00] Sharon: Yeah. Resolutions, I feel like is the hot topic right now, but it's really about those big goals that I think people try to set. Right. Um, and we at Shelpful a lot of that, right? So Shelpful obviously the place where people can go to get support on whatever they're trying to get done. So tasks or habits, routines. Um, and so we often have people come in and say, I want to do X, Y, z. You know, like a giant list of things and a whole overhaul. And our, our response is always, you know, let's start smaller. Um, and not just because. That helps in a text message conversation or in a workshop setting, which is often how we're helping people. But it's because the research proves it out, right? So you know, the actual habit formation that happens in your brain happens when you feel successful. And if you have these giant goals that you set that are almost unachievable, then after a few days you, your brain, literally, Push against the habit because it's not feeling successful and doing it. So we like to have people really lower the bar, not because they're lazy, but because in lowering the bar, you're actually setting yourself up to feel successful, number one and number two to do the habit the next time. So whatever it is that you're trying to do, whether it's. You know, get movement in every morning. Wake up when your alarm goes off, do gratitude, take your dog for a longer walk, . Um, all these things are, are habits, and if you can work on wiring them in, you know, it, it can help, it can help you feel more successful the whole year instead of just, I don't know, the first month of the year, for instance.  [00:03:41] Peter: So, so basically what we're looking at here really is the concept of eating the elephant one bite at a time. [00:03:47] Sharon: Oh yeah. I think that's a great analogy. I think, and it's, it's, I think people often get, stir that analogy up when you're talking about tackling a big thing. because it's, it's what seems logical to get it done piece by piece. But what's been really enlightening for me as I I, so I became an actual certified habit coach in this path after starting Shelpful to solve my own problem, which was feeling completely overwhelmed with everyday stuff, right? The little things would just follow from my list, like getting movement and getting fresh air. Yeah, like you mentioned, taking my dog for a very long walk instead of just like having go to the bathroom. All these things that were important to my self-care were just falling off the list. So completely geeked out on habits became a sort of a habit coach through Dr. BJ Fogg who wrote the book Tiny Habits, um, and is kind of one of the preeminent. Behavioral scientists in the field, his research backs this up, that if you shrink something down to tiny, tiny, tiny, not only are you making it harder to not do, but you, it's that feeling of success from that small, small action is what wires the habit into your brain. So that's something we spend a lot of time. We have kind of a workshop now that we try to teach people those skills of feeling successful for the smallest thing. Cause it actually is a skill. You kind of have to learn that and, and especially for an ADHD'er who's very comfortable and a shame spiral situation. Yeah. I think that it, it's, it's hard to accept that the smallest version is okay, but that it's not only the reality and something that would be helpful for self-compassion, but the research backs it up!  [00:05:26] Peter: Yeah, no question about it. So tell us about, tell us a little more about that, because the, the premise of, you know, oh, it's the new year, we lose 30 pounds in January. No, you're freaking not. Right, right. You know, we, we, let's, let's be honest. No, you're not. Um, so you have to sort of start at the beginning. Um, what can people do just off the top of their heads, you know, what can we do right, right away, um, to sort of give us a little confidence that we can achieve these goals. [00:05:50] Sharon: Sure, and let's, let's play out your example, right? So if the big goal is to lose 30 pounds or, um, improve your health, then I think the first step would be, first of all, trying to think of an ongoing habit you can work on that you actually want to do. So if you love. Paddle boarding, then maybe pick a habit, like an exercise that you wanna do regularly that helps improve your balance, that would help you with that habit or that that activity that you really, really love, um, or that you're cooking more. If you love to cook, then maybe we're working on a habit that involves meal planning or um, meal prep on Sundays. Things that you genuinely want to do because like we, we talked about, we're working on kind of hacking the brain and so we have to like the thing. That's why bad habits are formed too, because cookies are delicious and and I love them, then I can form that habit. So picking something you really want to do, I think is key. And it might sound obvious, but you know, starting with box jumping, if that's not your thing, is probably not the way to go. Right. Um, And then the second step is making it super, super small. So, um, instead of, I'm gonna work out for 20 minutes every morning, there's, we can make it tiny. Like, after I walk outta the bathroom, I'm gonna put on one walking shoe. Or after I put my toothbrush back in the cup, I'm gonna turn on my Peloton. Right. Literally just, and that's it. And that's, and, and then we actually say the hack is to celebrate that small thing. Because on the craziest busy day, maybe sometimes you'll try on the Peloton. and literally have to just walk away from it. But you can still say you did your habit. Yep. Um, and so that's, I mean, those are the key things is, is making it smaller and attaching it to something you already do. So I mentioned like putting your toothbrush away. This is something that, um, is an existing habit so we can kind of hack the brain a little bit to, to stack those habits together. Right? So just like when I walk through the door as an adult, my hand goes behind me to pull it shut. That's what we're kind of trying to create is this habit, muscle memory. By making it small, by making it part of your existing routine. Right. That can help you form that. And th this is the type of thing that I would define as success, Peter, that if you told me that you turn your Peloton on every day after you put your toothbrush away, I would say that's something to celebrate. I would have no follow up question that I, I assume that some days you would've gotten the workout in too. [00:08:08] Peter: Right. Yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. You know, it's interesting I think that, that people tie and I, I'd be curious your, your opinion on this. People tend to tie. Whether it's resolutions or rituals, to specific dates like, oh, dry January, or mm-hmm. , or, um, you know what, whatever, whatever those are, uh, the month before Memorial Day to get in shape. But why does it have to be tied to something? Why can't you arbitrate? I mean, when I quit smoking back in 2015 mm-hmm. , I mean, I quit years and years before that, but every once in a while I'd bum one, but the last time I had an actual, honestly got cigarette was March, fif March 17th, 2015. I just, I. no tie to that date whatsoever, I'd say, you know what? Screw it. I'm done.  [00:08:49] Sharon: Had a good, had a good St. Patrick's Day, and you're done.  [00:08:52] Peter: Yeah. Why is it so hard to just go to that, to go say, you know what? I wanna do something and make that change today, but, oh, you know what? I'll do it in February. I'll do it March 1st. Why? Why are we so stuck on tying it to something? [00:09:07] Sharon: Yeah, I, I think that, I mean, in smoking obviously has other addiction elements that I'm certainly not an expert on, but I think I can definitely relate to this Diet starts Monday mentality or, you know, big nears resolution, those things. And I think it, it's related to our tendency to have these bursts of motivation and willpower, which don't sustain, like you can kind of map it, right. You can see. Okay. Big burst of motivation and willpower, especially for an adhd, right? These things can't be dependent upon. So we have these moments where we kind of, um, we put a lot of our kind of motivation eggs in one basket of, okay, this is gonna happen. I'm doing it big, go big, go home. Never say die, right? Keep up the streak. All these things. And our culture. Our culture stokes this, it it, it makes us feel like it has to be all or nothing, which is why I think we have to put a start date on it. But what we always, I mean, what we work with people on, and as you know, we have, we kind of have our habit coaching, but we also have these accountability buddies that you text with. And the big part of what. I've seen from our members is that, start today with something small. Celebrate your small successes, and that adds up to something big. And if, if it's small enough, you can always start today. Usually, you know, like unless it's something that depends on you getting some piece of equipment or something you have to get from your Amazon order. But generally you could start if it's, if you make it small enough, you can start today. And if you can't. It's probably a sign that you're not starting small enough.  [00:10:43] Peter: Yeah, no, that's a really, really good answer. That's a really good answer. What else have you learned, um, as you've been going through? So, so you've been running the company now for a few years. What, what else have you learned? What would you, what would surprise people, um, about whether it's habits or about whether it's accountability? .  [00:10:59] Sharon: Yeah. We started this company in early 2021 as a response to my own frustration. And I, I've obviously, through that journey, I've found out or was finally diagnosed with my own adhd, which explained why so many people with ADHD were signing up for our service. Um, and I think, I think the main thing, it's, it's been interesting. I have, I've had this parallel path of learning a lot about myself and learning a lot kind of what, what support needs to exist in the world? Um, on my own track, I think being able to instantly see when I launched this service that I wasn't alone, that a lot of people felt a lack of support on the little things in life. Just felt like they were completely alone in these tasks of taking care of everyone in their life and taking care of work, but not taking care of themselves. It was, I wasn't alone in that. Which for me was not only enlightening and exciting from a business perspective, but just made me feel this immediate sense of community and and gratitude to be able to help people just like me. Yeah, and I think the other thing I've really learned is, As I, I've had this parallel path of understanding about my ADHD as I've been helping people with adhd and I've found it transformative. So the advice I just spat out on starting small and not falling to the shame spiral, that was advice I would not have been taking two years ago. And so I've had this kind of personal journey of being able. to number one, name a specific thing as adhd, like, I didn't pay that bill. I have adhd. I'm not a horrible person. , let me reach, let me, you know, I, I have a shelter. That's our, that's our name for an accountability buddy. So I, I literally texted her last night like, please, please, please make me cancel this fitness subscription that I haven't used and I like, and they're making me call, which is complete paralysis for me, of course. And so instead of blaming myself and being like, I suck as a person because I can't pick up the phone and cancel subscription, I mean, you know, you, I'm sure you can completely relate to this and a lot of people can, someone making me call them is like, oh, the worst thing in the world, the literal, worst thing in the world. Like I, I'd rather start a company. I'd rather learn to fly a plane , like there's a million things I'd rather do than c all a person to cancel something. Right. So I, I have, I've had this, I think, journey of self-compassion that I, I'm accepting support, that I know I need help on little things, and I'm not a bad person for that. [00:13:23] Peter: Yeah. I love it. I love it. Very cool. How could people find you?  [00:13:30] Sharon: Yeah, we are at www.Shelpful.com S H E L P F U L. Rhymes with helpful. Um, and we have all sorts of services you can find there. Our most popular thing is that one-on-one work with your own real human buddy who will remind you of your crap , basically, and help support you on any habits or tasks you're trying to get done. But we also have groups where you can be put in a group with four, with three other people and work on the same thing. So we have, we actually have folks with adhd. Um, we have groups, people working on all trying to get movement in, drink more water, anything under the sun, and we actually have some specialties. Um, in partnership, there's a company called Oak Journal that we're partnering with, and they have this kind of daily method where you do gratitude every day and set your top priorities every day. So groups are kind of going through that process together so they can stay on track and work toward bigger goals. So that's been really fun to do as well.  [00:14:26] Peter: Very cool.

The goal of many entrepreneurs is to build a business that will one day give them true financial freedom.  In theory, it's a simple three-step process. Create it. Scale it. Sell it.  But in reality, achieving a life-changing exit is a pipedream that only a handful of entrepreneurs actually accomplish. So, what does it take to beat the odds and achieve a multi-million dollar exit? In this episode, we're joined by an entrepreneur who knows the answer to this question first-hand. Patrick Campbell is the founder of ProfitWell, a SaaS platform that helps businesses grow their recurring revenue through subscription analytics, retention, and pricing solutions. Patrick's business was recently acquired by Paddle for $200 million!  Patrick joins us to discuss the details behind the acquisition, how he successfully grew Profitwell, and how his life has changed since his 9-figure exit.  Patrick explains how he set Profitwell apart from its competitors by thinking long-term, being strategic with pricing, and always keeping the bigger picture in mind. Patrick also used competitive analysis to better understand what consumers were looking for and identify where Profitwell's competitive advantage lay. We also dive into the challenges Partick faced while scaling the business, and how he overcame these setbacks. According to Patrick, “Did we have “Oh my word, everything is terrible moments?” 100%, yes. But the nature of what we do as entrepreneurs is to get back up and keep going. Every time there's a hardship that you get through, your brain as an entrepreneur goes “Well, it must not have been that bad because I figured it out.” And that helps you to keep moving forward.” If you're hoping to make a life-changing exit of your own one day, don't miss a second of this candid, behind-the-scenes look at the ins and outs of a multi-million dollar acquisition!
