Welcome to LeanCast, the podcast where we explore innovative ideas and strategies for lean product development and user experience.

Teresa's expertise spans across various industries, including entertainment, music, books, finance, retail, restaurant, airline, automotive, and education markets. With an impressive track record of working with high-profile clients and delivering solutions in social media, customer experience, subscriptions, marketplaces, and payments, Teresa brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.

They explore how staying connected with users and understanding their needs directly can lead to better product outcomes.
