This episode of The Forget The Funnel Podcast, Gia dives deep on how we’ve become data-rich but insights-poor and the 4 growth stalls you’re likely experiencing as a result. If you're a SaaS founder or product manager bogged down in the weeds of hypothesis-mode and product growth challenges, you’ll want to tune in.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How understanding the full customer journey—not just metrics—can transform your growth strategy (and how Gia’s team hit 900% revenue growth).
How to uncover what really drives value and revenue with actionable customer research (featuring lessons from real SaaS companies).
The secret to aligning product and customer experiences for scalable, predictable growth.
Why product marketing is the unsung hero for team alignment and smarter decision-making.
How to ditch panic-mode tactics and build long-term, customer-driven strategies that work.

This episode is packed with no-nonsense advice and strategies you can start implementing right away. It’s time to move from operating in hypothesis-mode to focused, intentional strategy.
