Frameworks in these episodes
Episode-linked context, not an unsupported claim of authorship.
Category-Attribute Fit
Don't pick a market then decide how to win. Work out what wins there, and only pick markets where that's who you are.
Full-Stack Relationship Orgs
Replace support, success, research, PR and marketing with two teams that own a human relationship end to end.
Optimizing for Feelings
Name the emotion the product must evoke, build to that, and use metrics only as an honesty check.
Project-Chosen Leads and the Mutt Hire
PM is a role on a project, not a department — and you staff it with multi-disciplinary makers, not title-holders.
Radical Trust Building
Not radical transparency — let people know you as humans, so the permission dialog gets the benefit of the doubt.
The D5/D7 Ungameable North Star
One metric that fuses retention, engagement and growth — tracked as growth rate and cohort slope, never absolutes.
The Made-Up Name Reset
Give a team or feature a name nobody recognizes, so nobody can skip the argument about what it should be.
The Team Is the Product
Choose the company you want to build first, pick a problem worthy of it, then treat every hire as a product launch.
Values as a Mirror
Don't author values. Interview the whole team, harvest their exact words, and write them back as a story.
