The Product Boss with Jacqueline Snyder
Jacqueline Snyder
The Product Boss is real business education for people who make and sell physical products.
If you’re working way too hard for the sales you’re getting, you’re in the right place. This show is about building a focused, profitable product business that gets seen and sells consistently, without sacrificing your life to it.
Hosted by Jacqueline Snyder, founder of The Product Boss and one of the country’s most sought-after product experts (featured in Inc., Forbes, NBC News, Yahoo Finance, and more), each episode delivers clear strategy you can actually use. You’ll hear workshop-style teaching and behind-the-scenes advising conversations that help you make better decisions, faster.
Whether you sell on your website, at markets, wholesale (including Faire), in boutiques, or through platforms like Shopify, Etsy, and Amazon, the strategy here works across channels. We talk best sellers and what you’re known for, pricing for profit, visibility beyond social media, conversion, inventory planning, seasonal strategy, and the systems that stop you from doing everything yourself.
You’ll also get Mirror Method and mindset episodes, because your business will always reveal what needs to grow next: confidence, consistency, boundaries, leadership, and the courage to be seen.
Guests have included Jenna Kutcher, Jamie Kern Lima, Jasmine Star, David Meltzer, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann (OPI), Mike Michalowicz (Profit First), Joy Cho, Jaclyn Johnson, Kelly Roach, and more.
New episodes drop weekly on Thursdays.

419. Listen for a Quick Cash Injection Idea using IG Stories
Stories can be a very underutilized portion of social media, especially on IG. When you’re trying to boost your sales, it can leave you guessing as to how to use them properly! Luckily, we’ve got a trick that will help you not only fill those stories, but also help you make more sales! Here’s a strategy we are seeing our students use—and the best part is that it doesn’t matter how many Instagram followers you have.This strategy is what we call “story sales”—a great way to keep your customers engaged and buying. The basic idea is this: post a sequence of photos in order for you to sell your goods on your Instagram stories. Include your prices and show what is available and accessible to your customers. Since stories only stay up for 24 hours, sometimes you need to repost the photos, but that’s pretty much it! There are a few reasons this works–one is that idea of a “scarcity mindset”. Your potential customers will worry that inventory is dwindling or the sale’s timer is running out, and it may just push them over the fence to make that purchase.This can be a great system for those who don’t want to show their face, for someone looking to get a bit of a cash injection for the holidays, or just someone wanting to experiment with some different tactics (after all, nobody can see what happens behind the closed doors of your DMs!) Try it out—it may just be the perfect strategy for your business.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge! Commit to making 1 in 5 of your purchases from a small business, whether online or offline.

Patrice Washington is known as the Money Maven. She’s an investor in Lite Pink, a fully female-funded product business. She spoke at the founder of Lite Pink Lori Harder’s home about how people can define their wealth and bring purpose to their lives and their business.She learned, through her own financial journey of building a 7-figure business straight out of college, that building and running a business won’t provide happiness if you’re having to sacrifice your health and well-being in the process. She also learned that in order to redefine your wealth, you have to redefine parts of yourself. That’s how she came up with her Six Pillars of Wealth.Patrice defines the Six Pillars of Wealth as:Fit: the importance of being mentally and physically fitPeople: creating relationships that matterSpace: setting up your life to support youFaith: believing in something greaterWork: living your life’s purposeMoney: achieving the abundance that you desireWe do a deep dive into how leading your life from these pillars is what builds true wealth, and how you can level up these six aspects of your life.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!
