Episode notes

Exploring the founder's journey through marketing, sales, and design challenges while emphasizing the value of quality data. Discussion on addressing skill gaps and strategic hiring plans for marketing and design needs in the business.

I’m a pretty okay developer, but when it comes to marketing and sales, I really need help. And for the longest time, I’ve held myself back.

That ends today.

My current SaaS business, Podscan, is at a point where some very important decisions need to be made. I’ve got something quite big in the works, and I’ll be talking about this next week in much more detail, but it made me think about the long-term needs a business like mine has, how I can personally fulfill them, and where I have skill gaps that I will have to work on.
