Tushar gave his app away for free. It spread to 200 locations. Almost nobody used it, and nobody paid a single dollar.

Delightree just raised $25M. In this episode, Tushar breaks down the three questions he used to qualify every customer, how turning a dusty ops binder into TikTok-style training became his biggest source of...

In this episode, Jonathan breaks down the 20-minute reply rule he holds every employee to, why he asks buyers if they have ever wanted to b...

Sandstone just raised a $30M Series A. In this episode, Nick breaks down why the intros he never asked for were the moment he knew PMF was real, ho...
