They are aware of the opportunities in front of them and they go after them with no excuses.  They have a different relationship with time and how they spend it. Many of the successful people we've talked to have also beat tremendous odds to get to where they are today. From immigrants and survivors of tragic events to bestselling authors, we've learned a lot from the incredible people we've featured.  In today's special 100th episode, we take a look back at some stories that really impacted us over the course of the podcast (so far) and what we took away from the guests we featured.    We shared insights on: What we can learn from people who survived and thrived after tragedy How to avoid taking things for granted The valuable lesson we can all learn from immigrants Our favorite takeaways from bestselling authors    Episodes Highlighted  Arnold Desena Samantha Tov Bobby Wright  Herve Kidiadi Colin Mullane Parminder Singh Rory Vaden  Jay Papasan    Guest Bio Bobby Wright serves as the Director of Product Growth at Real Producers, a platform dedicated to connecting top-producing real estate professionals.

Four Levels of Product Growth The first level is sales. You hire salespeople who sell the product to customers by sending emails, visiting, calling, etc. While sales activity is critical in business, scaling is limited because you need more salespeople to sell more. The second level is marketing. Marketing activity is physical and digital, such as distributing flyers, launching TV commercials, advertising on social media platforms, and digital advertisement. It increases name recognition and gains potential customers. The third level is product development. A great product increases customer satisfaction, attracts more loyal customers, and generates word of mouth. This approach is longer-term than the previous ones, but it reaps more significant rewards in the long term. Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Paypal and a billion investor, says product is more important than marketing and sales in his book “Zero to One.” The fourth level is human development, a long-term strategy for big rewards. Software products are created by humans, so developing employees is crucial. John C. Maxwell, the author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, says, “If you grow a leader, you can grow the organization. If you don't, you can't. A company cannot grow throughout until its leaders grow within.” How to connect with AgileDad: - [website] https://www.agiledad.com/ - [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/ - [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/ - [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

In this conversation, Reetika Fleming, Executive Research Leader at HFS, talks with Abhijit Shroff, Head of Product Growth at Soroco, about how interaction data can be used in large enterprises to achieve a number of business and technology transformation goals and how Soroco's Scout product is evolving along with advancements in AI and data, expanding its use cases with strategic clients. You will learn: Interaction data is essential for understanding how businesses operate. However, many organizations need to pay more attention to its value. AI models can transform complex and noisy interaction data into actionable insights. Generative AI can document processes in a way that is easy for humans to understand. By comprehending user interactions, organizations can optimize software usage. Disconnection debt may cause inefficiencies in various processes. Organizations must measure the ROI of generative AI, ensuring that data drives new technology adoption. Interaction data provides behavioural aspects of how teams interact with software to drive business operations at scale across a large enterprise and help them optimize them.

Aakash Gupta is a product leader turned author and professional newsletter writer, with a huge following on LinkedIn and Twitter. He writes regularly on product management principles, and personal and career growth and recently put out an article about nailing the product leadership job search. We also recently collaborated on an article about fractional product leadership! In this interview, I spoke to Aakash about his journey into full-time content creation and some of the lessons he learned about the product leadership job search. Episode highlights:   1. The product leadership job market is slowly coming back to life It's been tough out there, and loads of amazing people have been laid off and struggled to find new roles. Some might doubt they'll ever get another job again! But there are good and great jobs available if you know where to look. 2. Many of the best jobs aren't advertised in public and relationshps are everything There's a "dark web" of networking and personal relationships, without which you might struggle to get introduced to some of the jobs. At the highest level, the majority of jobs are not posted publicly. Whether you like it or not, you need to play the game and build strategic relationships with boutique recruiters and especially investors. 3. You need to prioritise the type of job you want and it's not all about money Most people are trying to optimise for something in their new job. Maybe it's a big pay packet. Maybe it's a mission they believe in. Maybe it's the stage of company, influence and impact. There's no wrong answer, but make sure you know what you're getting yourself into and what success looks like. 4. Try to make your career look linear to land the role you want Many of us have squiggly careers and we've bounced between industries or types of company. This is fine, but if you're looking to get a job in a particular niche then you need to optimise your career narrative to tell a story about why YOU are the person for that niche. 5. Many leaders are still biased towards Big Tech employees, but you can beat the odds Some founders or business leaders will always prioritise someone with a stellar name on their CV, and this can leave people who have worked for lesser-known companies feeling adrift. However, you can take a strategic view of your job search, outwork and outsmart your competition. Contact Aakash You can catch up with Aakash on LinkedIn, or Twitter or check out his newsletter.

Not all customers are created equal.Increasing conversions with the right message to the right person at the right time is a pipe dream for most teams. The problem is that you haven't figured out how to meaningfully segment your customers to do it yet.We got you. In this episode of the Forget The Funnel Podcast, Claire and Georgiana deep dive into the de facto segmentation tools that have so many teams tripping over themselves – Ideal Customer Profiles (ICP), Personas & Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD). Walking through real-world examples, we break down when it's mission-critical to get segmentation right; your founder's intuition won't scale, your marketing and messaging are falling flat, and your product-led experiences need to pull their weight - AKA when you need to grow. Discussed:The differences between ICPs, Personas and JBTD - and when to leverage each in your decision-making. Why founder intuition doesn't scale and how a systematic understanding of customer segments is necessary for scale. How the promise of 'right message, right person, right time' is achievable and will help you grow more efficiently across marketing, sales and product.  Key Moments:1:58 - Claire and Georgiana outline some of the questions that are being asked at the executive-level around the use of customer segmentation tools like personas, ICPs and Jobs-to-be-Done.3:06 - Georgiana clarifies that no one customer segmentation tool is necessarily better than another; they all have their uses in different contexts. But getting a clear understanding on what these tools mean for your business is key. 5:38 - Claire and Georgiana share their definition of customer segmentation and give a real-world example of what this means in the context of a Forget The Funnel customer, SparkToro. They then break down their definitions of ICP and personas.9:37 - Georgiana asks Claire to unpack the nuance between the customer research done by teams using personas versus the customer research done using Jobs-to-be-Done.15:02 - Georgiana unpacks in what situations ICPs are the most useful tool for SaaS product and marketing teams, and when personas make more sense. 18:25 - Claire share one of the main takeaways from the episode - that founder intuition does not scale. You can intuit your way to getting the right person, at the right time, with the right message in the early days, but eventually you hit the point of diminishing returns - where you'll then need to look at customer segmentation tools to unlock the next stage of growth. Claire shares the example of Attune to illustrate this.25:55 - The pair finish the episode by talking about the opportunity cost of failing to understand the different segments your product services - even during an economic downturn.  Buy the book: Forget the Funnel book (Paperback, eBook, or audiobook) Visit the website: Forget the Funnel Connect with Claire Suellentrop on LinkedIn Connect with Georgiana Laudi on LinkedIn

Lenny Rachitsky on Product Management and Growth Strategies The conversation begins with Christopher praising Lenny's approach to product management and growth, hailing him as the "category King." They then discuss the value of staying broad versus niche in product management, with Lenny expressing admiration for specific experts like Emily Kramer in marketing. Christopher commends Lenny for his unique, non-egotistical approach in a field filled with "hustle porn stars." Lenny attributes his success to providing genuine value rather than chasing followers. Christopher perceives a cohesive through line in Lenny's work, suggesting a continuous quest to answer key questions for founders and product builders. Lenny elaborates on his goal of addressing a broad range of questions in product management and growth, emphasizing a core focus with intersecting adjacencies like career and leadership. Creating Valuable Content through Practical Application of Ideas Lenny continues to discuss his approach on content creation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining diverse interests to keep himself engaged.

From there, they explore the concept of obvious and non-obvious content, with Lenny acknowledging the practical nature of his content. Christopher notes the challenge of balancing obviousness with depth, expressing his preference for content that goes beyond the blatantly evident. Despite categorizing Lenny's content as somewhat obvious, Christopher commends him for avoiding the realm of "stupid obvious," recognizing the valuable and practical applications within Lenny's work. Lenny Rachitsky on Creating Quality Content Following up on this, Christopher questions Lenny Rachitsky on creating smart, obvious, and practical content without it being overly simplistic. Lenny attributes his success to maintaining a high bar for quality, ensuring content is not overly obvious or uninteresting. He emphasizes spending extensive time on each post, sometimes up to 100 hours, and credits his ability to dedicate full time to content creation as a significant advantage. Lenny describes a flywheel effect where initial success allows more time for improvement, creating a cycle of growth. He suggests that anyone can follow this model if they find the time and opportunities to invest in their content.
