You’ve probably heard “go-to-market” thrown around like it’s just a product launch. But it’s way more than that — and today’s guest breaks it all down with clarity, energy, and zero fluff.

In this episode, I sit down with Maja Voje, an internationally recognized go-to-market strategist who’s worked with over 750 companies, including global giants like Google, Bayer, and Rocket Internet. We unpack what makes GTM actually work, why focus beats scale, how to find your earliest adopters, and how AI is changing everything — fast.

Whether you’re building something from scratch or scaling a proven product, this episode will reshape how you think about launching, growing, and repeating success.
