  • Super informative and great questions

    I only learn from hearing people’s real stories and struggles with running a small business, so this podcast was a great find.

    Lots of different backgrounds and product lines, it’s interesting to hear how everyone’s Amazon journey varies, and how some problems seem universal.

    Great for aspiring entrepreneurs to business owners, and everyone in-between

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Most Founders Get Design Wrong
Q: What first drew you into the world of helping entrepreneurs have an idea and take it all the way to building a product that people actually love?
Sally explains her shift from designing across multiple channels to focusing on how design thinking can bridge business strategy and product development, driven by the desire to teach founders how to collaborate and implement design thinking to create products people actually love.
Don’t Catch Feelings for Your Idea
Q: What should entrepreneurs focus on instead of their initial idea?
They should focus on the process of developing their business and being flexible to adapt and change their initial idea as they receive feedback.
Don’t Catch Feelings for Your Idea
Q: What does rewiring your brain mean in relation to entrepreneurship?
It means changing the way you think about risks and opportunities, moving from a mindset of fear to one that sees potential and possibility.
Building a Business That Runs Itself
Q: What advice would you give to the next generation of entrepreneurs?
Be prepared to roll with the punches, as technology and market dynamics change rapidly. It's important to test ideas with real customers before fully committing.
Building a Business That Runs Itself
Q: What are the cons of being your own boss?
Being your own boss means that the buck stops with you, and if there's a problem, it's generally your fault. There is a lot of uncertainty, and some months may be better than others.
