Too many founders are chasing what they think they “should” be doing.

They’re following the gurus, their reading the books…

In other words, they’re doing what EVERYONE else is doing.

We think you should be different.

And the best way to do that?

Well… tune in to find out.

We also chat about:

• The Blue Ocean exercise Charles used to design Pip Decks in an afternoon

• Why “finding a gap in the market” is annoying advice

• Why the social content we kept making flopped and what we did to replace it (spoiler alert: you’re reading it right now).

• Stories That Sell

This week Jacob grills Charles on what it was REALLY like to launch Pip Decks - warts and all.

Here’s just a taste of what gets covered:

• Why “would you buy this?” is the worst question a founder can ask

• The surprising reason Charles went back to his day job after a wildly profitable launch night

• The one-word answer from a customer survey that explained why Pip Decks sold hundreds of thousands of copies (it has nothing to do with the decks!)

If you’ve always dreamed of starting your own business but talked yourself out of it, you need to listen to this episode.

Enjoy!
