Meta’s ‘Low Performer’ Purge: Pink Slips, Receipts, and the Stack-Ranking Revival
In early February 2025, Meta slashed 5% of its workforce—about 3,600 people—calling it a purge of “low performers” to sharpen up for an “intense” year ahead. Mark Zuckerberg says it’s about raising the bar, but some of those cut are clapping back with receipts: glowing performance reviews that don’t match the “bottom 5%” label. From leaked memos to public pushback on LinkedIn, this episode unpacks the disconnect—did Meta really target the weak links, or is this a headcount trim in disguise? Host Mike Belsito digs into the employee backlash and asks what’s really at play when a tech giant leans into stack ranking. But this isn’t just Meta’s story—it’s a window into a bigger debate: does the old-school “rank and yank” tactic still work in today’s tech world? We’ll explore how this move echoes Jack Welch’s GE playbook, why some ex-employees call it a “scarlet letter” on their careers, and whether regular performance purges drive innovation or just paranoia. With other giants like Microsoft testing similar waters, is stack ranking staging a comeback—or setting up a talent trap? Tune in for the scoop, the stakes, and a question for every founder: could this be your company’s next move?

The Inside Story: TurboTax PersonalPro's Initial Failure
In November 2014, Brian Crofts prepared for a crucial meeting with two top-level executives at Intuit. One was CeCe Morken, his boss, overseeing Intuit’s Professional Tax (ProTax) business—a $422 million enterprise selling tax preparation software to accountants. The other was Sasan Goodarzi, in charge of Intuit’s $1.8 billion TurboTax division, providing software directly to consumers. Crofts had spent three years developing a new product, TurboTax PersonalPro, bridging the gap between these two business lines. Company leadership had decided it was time for a major launch, making the November meeting pivotal for finalizing a go-to-market plan. However, not all launches yield exponential growth.

Product Market Fit: A Deep Dive
In this episode of Rocketship.fm, hosts Michael Sacca and Mike Belsito take listeners through an in-depth examination of the pivotal business concept known as product market fit. They begin by acknowledging that, despite frequently using the term, they haven't fully dissected its meaning in previous episodes. They outline the importance of product market fit, describing it as a critical transition point that can propel a startup from uncertainty to being a market leader or at least demonstrating market alignment. They emphasize how this fit can indicate a growing customer base and stronger ties between the product and its users, and discuss the continuous process of iterating a product based on customer feedback and evolving market demands. Throughout the episode, we'll dissect the idea of product market fit, explaining it as a kind of complex puzzle where each piece represents an aspect of the product's journey towards market acceptance. They identify the key components of achieving product market fit: a quality product that aligns with market demands, its relevance and affordability to the target audience's needs, and a good market actively seeking the product's solutions. The hosts highlight the importance of customer feedback, describing how it should be actively sought, received, and used - not to immediately fulfill every customer's request, but to genuinely listen, interpret needs, and then create a comprehensive solution. They underscore that achieving product market fit is not a one-time event but a continuous process that involves constant adaption and refinement. Finally, we'll share insights on common metrics used to measure product market fit, such as customer retention rates and net promoter scores, while pointing out the necessity of customizing these metrics to fit the unique context of a product and its market. They also touch upon challenges faced in the quest for product market fit, using stories and clips from notable figures like Peter Reinart from Segment and the late Clayton Christensen. These anecdotes highlight the real-world struggles and breakthroughs companies encounter as they shift from pushing their product to a market that's not responding, to being in demand by the market itself—underscoring the episode’s key takeaway of what finding product market fit truly entails.

The Story Behind Andrew Wilkinson's Flow App
The podcast episode discusses Andrew Wilkinson's entrepreneurial journey, particularly focusing on his founding of the company Flow, a task tracking and productivity app for teams and small businesses. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by Flow as a bootstrapped business in a competitive market dominated by venture-backed giants like Asana. Despite their focus on product design and passionate user base, Flow struggled to compete against well-funded competitors like Asana, which had substantial marketing budgets and rapidly expanded feature sets. The episode highlights the difficulties of sustaining a bootstrapped startup in an industry where raising capital is often seen as essential for success. It explores Flow's decision to turn down an acquisition offer from Asana and the subsequent challenges they encountered while trying to grow organically. Despite their dedication to the product and loyal customer base, Flow faced obstacles such as limited resources and underestimated competition. The podcast also discusses the transition in leadership at Flow, with Daniel Scrivner taking over as CEO after a period of downsizing. The challenges of overhauling the app and maintaining momentum with a reduced team are explored, culminating in the release of Flow X, a major update aimed at streamlining team collaboration. Ultimately, we'll conclude with an update on Flow's status, noting Daniel Scrivner's departure from the company in 2022 and the lack of information about its current leadership. The podcast reflects on Flow's journey as a potential "cigar butt" for Tiny Capital, where minimal investments are made in the asset until its eventual decline. Despite the uncertainties surrounding Flow's future, the episode provides insights into the trials and tribulations of building and sustaining a bootstrapped startup in a competitive market.

e/acc: Can a meme pave the way to a utopian society?
Effective Accelerationism, abbreviated as e/acc, represents a collection of ideas and practices geared towards maximizing the likelihood of reaching the technocapital singularity. This movement aims to create an environment where emergent consciousness can thrive. Influential figures in the tech industry, such as Marc Andreessen, have shown their support by incorporating "e/acc" into their usernames. The movement's mascot is an enigmatic "tech founder" known as Beff Jezos. E/acc, short for Effective Accelerationism, is rooted in Nick Land's accelerationist theories. It advocates the belief that artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) will pave the way for a post-scarcity technological utopia. The movement's name is also a clever nod to Effective Altruism. E/acc communities predominantly thrive on Twitter, particularly through Twitter Spaces, where enthusiasts share e/acc manifestos via the Substack newsletter platform. A huge thanks to Margaux MacColl of The Information for her article 'It's a cult' that was used as the basis for this episode.

Bloomfilter: Raising capital in a downturn
Bloomfilter is a process intelligence platform for software development. Their whole mission is built on the belief that businesses rely on software development to solve problems and deliver a better user experience. However, software development projects are notorious for missing deadlines and budget estimates. There’s some research that even shows that 2/3 of software projects are either challenged or fail altogether, while 70% of software projects are delivered late, over budget, or are not delivered to the original specifications. And so… Bloomfilter is setting out to change that with process mining and predictive algorithms that are meant to help software development teams identify bottlenecks in the development process, objectively predict project outcomes, and deliver software on time and within budget.

Does AI Have a PR Problem? with Otto Pohl
Join us on this thought-provoking podcast episode as we delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI) and explore the burning question: Does AI have a PR problem? In today's fast-paced technological landscape, AI finds itself at the center of a colossal public relations conundrum. The allure and apprehension surrounding this transformative technology lead to a seemingly uncontrollable narrative, with people projecting their hopes and fears onto AI, triggering discussions on the future of jobs, the essence of humanity, and the extent of AI's capabilities. Our discussion unravels the complexity of AI's PR challenges, highlighting the immense scale and impact of AI beyond the influence of any single company. As we examine the parallels between openAI, generative AI, and other tech companies, we discover how media interest often swings to extremes, leading to a cyclical pattern where a trough of skepticism follows the peak of hype. Brace yourself for the moment when journalists start questioning, "Is AI over?"—a phenomenon reminiscent of previous tech revolutions such as crypto, driverless cars, and even the early days of the Internet. Tune in as we explore the multifaceted dimensions of AI's public perception, examining the unknowns, uncertainties, and the quest for balance between optimism and caution. Join industry experts, AI enthusiasts, and thought leaders as we navigate the intersection of technology, human perception, and the evolving narrative of artificial intelligence.

Are we gambling with our future? Common-sense AI regulations to save us from ourselves.
In the wake of rapid AI advancements, concerns over the regulation and ethical use of AI have become increasingly urgent. With the EU AI Act recently proposed, there is hope that common-sense regulation can address some of these concerns. The Act includes a list of prohibited AI practices and requirements for high-risk AI systems, but there is still debate over whether it goes far enough. As we grapple with the question of how to regulate AI in a way that promotes innovation while also ensuring ethical use, the urgency of the matter is clear: we may be gambling with our future if we don't act now.

The art of finding joy (The missing keynote from Industry Europe)
Michael Sacca, Former Chief Product Officer at Dribbble, gives a talk about his loss of joy in building products in the last few years. Misaligned KPIs and over-processed processes have led to a burnout of creativity across the product landscape. The increasing trend of financial engineering in products has resulted in imbalanced priorities, causing pressure on product leaders to maintain balance. As processes become too rigid, it becomes harder to be a human day in and day out. Passion doesn't come from an agenda or a methodology; it comes from people. When care for our craft and trust breaks down, and we forget we're human, the process stifles progress. Sacca talks about how the pandemic and the pressure it brought led to rigidity, which took the joy out of work. But, his team realized an opportunity to teach design to students and started a small team that solved problems in real-time without strict processes. The result was a successful product that brought back the joy of working. Gigantic - The professional training institute of the future.

Never ending tech layoffs, winners and losers of the week & CNBC's Senior Media & Tech Reporter Julia Boorstin on When Women Lead
The tech layoffs continue as Stripe slashed 1,000 jobs, or 14% of its workforce, and Lyft and Affirm joined the fray. Twitter recently made big cuts as Elon Musk cut the Twitter workforce in half, and now Meta is getting ready to announce significant cuts later this week. Leaders dramatically overestimated tech’s pandemic-fueled boom. Or, they thought they had more to do with the boom than they actually did. Even as Covid-19 shut down much of the economy, the digital realm continued to thrive as everyone was stuck at home using their devices. This meant more time absorbing ads and buying things online. But as we know, that trend didn’t last as the physical world has opened up for people in the last year or so. We'll discuss the Binance & FTX fire sale in what might be the savviest business move of the year by Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Elizabeth Holmes heads to sentencing and possibly jail time for her role in defrauding investors at Theranos, and Tiger Global Management loses 54% on the year. Finally, we'll talk with Julia Boorstin, the CNBC Senior Media & Tech Reporter, on her new book " When Women Lead ," who’s here to tell us stories of women who’ve defied the odds and transformed business and the data revealing how they did it.

The Rise and Fall of Toys R Us
Inside the wild and tumultuous history of Toys R Us, the beloved children's brand once again attempting a comeback with in-store shops at Macy's just in time for the holidays. What was once one of the first “category killers,” has faced troubled times. Now, the beloved toy store is reopening its doors once more, this time from inside select Macy's department stores across the US. The in-store shops are currently operating in Georgia, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, Louisiana, New York, Maryland, and Missouri, with more expected by October 15. The return of Toys R Us comes after the store closed its last two remaining stores in January 2021, after the coronavirus pandemic hit in-store sales. The brand previously struggled to make a comeback the year prior, including teaming with Amazon to fulfill its orders. The beleaguered toy company first tried to make a brick-and-mortar return in 2019, after it was purchased by Tru Kids Brands, which went on to open holiday pop-up shops and relaunch a website in the retailer's name.

How eBay lost to Amazon
In the early 2000's eBay was in direct competition with Amazon but they had very different methodologies when approaching the market. Today we dive into some of the mistakes eBay made in this time where they caught themselves focusing on the wrong metrics and ultimately the wrong side of the market. These mistakes ultimately led to the huge differences in the trajectory of where these companies are today. We talk with Ben Foster, the CPO at GoCanvas, about his time at eBay from 2001-2005 where he lead the "findings" team internally.

Youtube started as a dating site?!
When it was launched in 2005, according to co-founder Steve Chen, Youtube was designed as a way for people to upload videos of themselves talking about the partner of their dreams. Co-founder Jawed Karim also talked about YouTube’s romantic origins. “We even had a slogan for it: Tune in, Hook up.” Despite offering to pay women $20 to upload videos of themselves to YouTube, nobody came forward, forcing Chen, Karim and co-founder Chad Hurley to adopt a different strategy. Today we explore the epic pivot Youtube took just ten days after launching, that set it on course to be the backbone of video on the internet that it is today. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Product Journeys: Drip
When Rob Walling launched Drip, he was doing $7K in monthly recurring revenue. But he quickly realized that his revenue had already flat-lined and that he had a high customer churn problem. He was competing with behemoths like Mail Chimp and Marketo with a team of just 3 engineers. Drip started as a simple opt-in pop-up with an autoresponder. It then evolved into an email service provider, to finally become a marketing automation platform. That’s when it hit real product-market fit and churn immediately started plummeting. Rob sold Drip to Leadpages almost 3 years ago. Recently, he started TinySeed, an early stage VC fund and remote accelerator that aims to fill a gap in the market by providing funding to SaaS companies who don’t aim for the 100 million dollar goal.

Due to the nature of Amazon's third-party seller system, it's becoming more difficult for for Amazon to actually police products for counterfeit goods. This is creating a problem where customers who get sold a fake product have no recourse. But not all counterfeits are bad.

Engagement loops themselves are not inherently bad - but at scale they may causing more harm than good when applied to massive social networks.

Antitrust: Cryptocurrency
It's been a wild past few years for cryptocurrency. And these days, while Bitcoin still takes up the spotlight — there are so many different alt-currencies that have sprouted up, too. Some of them even spired by memes and television shows. But, is this all a good thing or a bad thing? On one hand, cryptocurrency has some serious upside. For unstable economies, it provides the stability needed for their market to thrive — despite its own volatility. Its decentralized governance, by design, makes it a virtual currency that we can trust, in a sense. And its privacy and security features are meant to make it less susceptible to fraud and corruption. But there are some drawbacks that are just as big. It's not completely susceptible to fraud — and one recent rug-pull scam saw billions of dollars in paper value disappear in an instant. Bitcoin miners also end up using more energy in a matter of minutes than most tech companies use in an entire year. And some of cryptocurrency's biggest power users are members of serious organized crime networks. We'll cover all of this — and more — in this episode dissecting the ups and downs of cryptocurrency. *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Antitrust: The Facebook Papers
The internal documents now known as The Facebook Papers, or Facebook Files, are a damning documentation of how the social media giant knowingly causes real world harm. Examples include measures to suppress hateful, deceptive content are lifted after the American presidential election in 2020, as the pro-Trump group “Stop the Steal,” which disputes the legitimacy of the election, experience “meteoric” growth. A dummy test account on Facebook in India is flooded with violent anti-Muslim propaganda - leading researchers to seeing more pictures of dead bodies than they have in their entire lives. A trove of internal Facebook documents reveals that the social media giant has privately and meticulously tracked real-world harms exacerbated by its platforms, ignored warnings from its employees about the risks of their design and algorithmic decisions and exposed vulnerable communities around the world to dangerous content. The Facebook Papers were leaked by Frances Haugen, a former data scientist at Facebook, who copied thousands of pages of internal documents and webpages before she left the company. Then she shared those materials with The Wall Street Journal, which began publishing stories about them last month under the heading “The Facebook Files.” Weeks later, she began to parcel the materials out to a variety of news organizations. The files have now come to be known as “The Facebook Papers,” A mix of presentations, research studies, discussion threads and strategy memos, the Facebook Papers provide an unprecedented view into how executives at the social media giant weigh trade-offs between public safety and their own bottom line. Some of the documents were first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Finally we’ll cover Facebooks rebrand to Meta - a hopeful shift in focus to the next technological frontier of AR / VR and Web3. *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Antitrust: Data Privacy & Ownership
Today, we're diving into the deep and dark world of data and privacy. The internet is filled with bad actors intent on harvesting data with intents varying from selling to the highest bidder to influencing elections. Big tech companies like Facebook and Google are able to track everything we do online (and offline). Do we even have privacy anymore? Thankfully, there are companies actively working to make it easier for us, the consumers, to control our data and governments are not only enacting data privacy laws like GDPR, there is a growing movement around actual ownership of our data and taxing companies who use it and profit off of it - returning proceeds back to the people.

Antitrust: Hustle Culture
While we started with the Lawsuits, today I want to take a different look at the concept of Anti-trust, focusing on a place where trust has been broken amongst the entrepreneurial community. Hustle Culture promotes this idea that if you work around the clock and live on 2 hours of sleep a day, the world will be your oyster and you'll be rich, famous and powerful. We now have an entire generation that is living without a safety net and forced into this world of non-stop hustle. In reality, these lies can be destructive - but the results aren't apparent until it's too late. *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Antitrust: (Mis)information
Today we’re going to explore how the internet has evolved to both democratize access to information, leading to incredible breakthroughs, and be a platform for spreading mass misinformation at rates and scales we’ve never seen before. At times, the internet represents the best part of humanity on display. One country releases the genetic sequence of a virus that’s spreading globally and scientists around the world get to work creating a never-before-created vaccine using technology that has never been used to produce a vaccine before. However, it also helped the spread of misinformation about that very vaccine, false information that is preventing almost 30% of the population in the United States from receiving it. The business of fake news has been around for hundreds of years, but now Google’s display ad network allows for these sites to easily monetize the millions of eyeballs searching for answers, especially at an unprecedented time like we’re seeing during this ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. And the thing is… it doesn’t matter if that eyeball believes what they’re reading or if they’re reading it in disbelief. If that article is being talked about it’s making money. So where do we go from here?

Antitrust: The Lawsuits
Technology’s rapid advance has undermined society’s foundations. As misinformation spreads, privacy vanishes, and counterfeit goods proliferate, science promises us further advances, from stronger artificial intelligence to neuralink implants and quantum computing. More upheaval is on its way. But the same advances that have created these hard problems have also connected people the world over, democratized information access, and let small businesses expand nationally and even globally. And without cutting-edge technologies, we wouldn’t have the mRNA vaccines that are helping to curb a global pandemic. This season we’re looking at the good, the bad, and the ugly of technology and examining the potential effects of governments attempting to rein in some of the largest companies' global influence. *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Introducing Creative Elements
After working with creatives for 10+ years, We know that earning a living from your art and creativity can be tough. That’s why we're such a fan of Jay Clouse and his show Creative Elements. Creative Elements is a highly produced narrative-interview show. Jay interviews high-profile, successful creators about how they built a business from their creativity. Think of it like “How I Built This” for digital creators. And he talks to these creators about the aspects of their personality or approach that have served them well. Past episodes have featured one of my favorite authors, James Clear who wrote Atomic Habits, Etsy expert Morgan Nield, or marketing legend Seth Godin. On today’s episode, we want to share a really great episode with you, a conversation with Ali Abdaal who grew his YouTube channel to nearly two million subscribers while studying to become a doctor! Subscribe, and listen to Creative Elements on Spotify or wherever else you get your podcasts. You can also click the link directly in our show notes to visit the Creative Elements website.

Introducing Trail Weight
We want to tell you about a new podcast called “Trail Weight,” a show for anyone looking to make a change in their life and maybe go on an adventure. Starting on April 15th, “Trail Weight” follows host Andrew Steven on an ambitious, surprising, and transformative journey as he tries to get in shape for a month-long backpacking trip through Sierra Nevada Mountains. Through audio diaries, recordings from the trail, and conversations with authors, experts, Olympians, and more, Andrew takes listeners through an eye-opening adventure of self-discovery. Hear how Alexi Pappas deals with Olympic expectations, how Dan Harmon’s story writing philosophy can change your life, and how environmentalism might be missing the mark. Andrew has worked in podcasting for many years, both as a producer on some of your favorite shows, as well as co-creating and co-hosting the critically acclaimed “The History of Stand-Up” podcast. “Trail Weight” combines all his experience into one surprising story of hope and loss, comedy and wonder, life and death, and more. Guided by his conversations with Florence Williams, Dina Gilio-Whitaker, Brooks Wheelan, Dan White, Niall Bresling, and other surprise guests, Andrew helps us lose our way so we can find the path we were meant to hike. You can listen to the start of this series right here, and be sure to check out new episodes every week on Apple Podcasts and everywhere you can listen to podcasts.

Product Journeys: Signal
Signal is having a moment. The pandemic drove unprecedented sign-ups on the encrypted messaging app, as people started communicating more online. Then, nationwide protests over police brutality prompted another round of records. Signal saw about one million downloads world-wide in May, according to analytics firm App Annie. Protesters have flocked to the app. Even though people who organize and participate in protests are protected by the First Amendment, they often seek secure communication, out of caution. And if they do get into legal trouble, Signal is designed to limit the information the messaging service can give to the authorities. That is what initially attracted privacy die-hards to Signal. In a 2015 talk, the app’s creator, Moxie Marlinspike, declared, “Privacy is at an all-time low, and surveillance is at an all-time high.” Signal was intended as the antidote. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Season 10 Trailer: Workplace Confessionals
In Season 10 of Rocketship.fm, we’re turning the microphone on you - thats right. We’re making this entire season about your workplace confessions. Season 10 of Rocketship.fm is set to launch on February 11th. The new season will focus around workplace confessions. We all have that workplace story that's so hard to believe we're nervous to tell it in public. Sometimes we're not sure if this is normal behavior or if we're the crazy ones for thinking it's not. In Season 10 of Rocketship.fm, we’re turning to our listeners – collecting hundreds of anonymous stories of their worst workplace experiences and featuring the best of them all season long. We’ll be discussing everything from overbearing bosses, toxic cultures, HR nightmares, failed office romances and so much more. Each episode we’ll be inviting on a celebrity guest to help us talk through these issues and bring a little sanity (and hopefully clarity) to each of these confessions. Guests include Whoop CPO Ben Foster, Superhuman CEO Rahul Mirnov, Product Influencer Rich Mirnov, Freelance Influencer Jay Clouse, and Founder of product Insitute Melissa Perri, among many others. It’s sure to be as entertaining as it will be educational. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Product Journeys: Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt Red. The story takes place in Night City, an open world set in the Cyberpunk universe. Players assume the first-person perspective of a customizable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. First introduced in 2012 and touting it's ability to be the leading RPG game, Cyberpunk 2077 built a huge cult following which was magnified when they introduced Keanu Reeves to a live audience and announced that he voiced one of the key characters in the game. These large ambitions all came crashing down in 2020, after multiple push release dates, controversies around working conditions and a launch so buggy that SONY pulled it from it's stores globally. This is the story of a hype machine gone wrong. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Charlie Munger's Mental Models
Mental models are how we understand the world. Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things more relevant than others, and how we reason. A mental model is simply a representation of how something works. We cannot keep all of the details of the world in our brains, so we use models to simplify the complex into understandable and organizable chunks. Today we explore some of Charlie Munger's famous mental models as outlined in his speech "The Psychology of Human Misjudgment." *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Zappos was founded in 1999 by Nick Swinmurn who launched the company with Tony Hsieh and Alfred Lin who invested $2 million through their investment firm Venture Frogs. The company was officially launched online in 1999 as "ShoeSite.com." In July 1999, the company's name was changed from ShoeSite to Zappos after "zapatos," the Spanish word meaning "shoes." In 2000, Venture Frogs invested in the business and Zappos moved into their office space. In 2001, Hsieh came on board as co-CEO with Nick Swinmurn. Tony helped Zappos.com grow from nearly zero sales to a company with a $1.2 billion valuation and an eventual acquisition by Amazon - allowing the company to remain completely independent because of the strength of the brand they had built from a relentless focus on customer satisfaction. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

When it was launched in 2005, according to co-founder Steve Chen, Youtube was designed as a way for people to upload videos of themselves talking about the partner of their dreams. Co-founder Jawed Karim also talked about YouTube’s romantic origins. “We even had a slogan for it: Tune in, Hook up.” Despite offering to pay women $20 to upload videos of themselves to YouTube, nobody came forward, forcing Chen, Karim and co-founder Chad Hurley to adopt a different strategy.

Long before Airbnb persuaded strangers to sleep in one another's homes and became a $31 billion company, it was just an idea to earn a bit of extra money to make rent. After their first guests, Airbnb's founders realized they were on to something bigger than a stopgap for rent. They faced rejection plenty of times — and created their own version of Obama O's cereal — but the three founders of Airbnb have built a big business in the past nine years. Here's how they turned their idea to rent out an air mattress into a business that has the hotel industry running scared.

Product Journeys: Tesla
Tesla, Inc., formerly (2003–17) Tesla Motors, American electric-automobile manufacturer. It was founded in 2003 by American entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning and was named after Serbian American inventor Nikola Tesla. Tesla Motors was formed to develop an electric sports car. Eberhard was Tesla’s chief executive officer (CEO) and Tarpenning its chief financial officer (CFO). Funding for the company was obtained from a variety of sources, most notably PayPal cofounder Elon Musk, who contributed more than $30 million to the new venture and served as chairman of the company, beginning in 2004. In 2008 Tesla Motors released its first car, the completely electric Roadster. In company tests, it achieved 245 miles (394 km) on a single charge, a range unprecedented for a production electric car. Additional tests showed that its performance was comparable to that of many gasoline-powered sports cars: the Roadster could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles (96 km) per hour in less than 4 seconds and could reach a top speed of 125 miles (200 km) per hour. The lightweight car body was made of carbon fibre. The Roadster produced no tailpipe emissions, as it did not use an internal-combustion engine. Tesla Motors found that the car attained efficiency ratings that were equivalent to a gasoline mileage of 135 miles per gallon (57 km per litre). The vehicle’s electric motor was powered by lithium-ion cells—often used in laptop-computer batteries—that could be recharged from a standard electric outlet. Despite a federal tax credit of $7,500 for purchasing an electric vehicle, the Roadster’s cost of $109,000 made it a luxury item. But Tesla, like many startups, has a storied history, and we're going to take you through the journey that has been Tesla Motors.

Product Journeys: Veil
Veil is a near-future climate change techno thriller, but how does a high researched, science based fictional book like this come into existence? Today we follow Eliot Peper and through his process of building a physical product and releasing something that can't be updated with a hot fix pushed to production. We walk through his writing, editing, rewriting process and the discipline it takes to 'make progress everyday.' We also explore his philosophy around releasing a book and how he knows when he's 'done.' The premise of Veil is when Zia León's mother dies in a heat wave that kills twenty million, she abandons a promising diplomatic career to lead humanitarian aid missions to regions ravaged by drought, wildfires, and sea level rise. What Zia doesn't know is that clandestine forces are gathering around her in pursuit of a colossal secret: someone has hijacked the climate, and the future of human civilization is at stake. To avoid a world war that appears more inevitable every day, Zia must build a coalition of the powerless and attempt the impossible. But success depends on facing the grief that has come to define her life, and rediscovering friendship, family, and what it means to be true to yourself while everything falls apart.

Product Journeys: Drip
When Rob Walling launched Drip, he was doing $7K in monthly recurring revenue. But he quickly realized that his revenue had already flat-lined and that he had a high customer churn problem. He was competing with behemoths like Mail Chimp and Marketo with a team of just 3 engineers. Drip started as a simple opt-in pop-up with an autoresponder. It then evolved into an email service provider, to finally become a marketing automation platform. That’s when it hit real product-market fit and churn immediately started plummeting. Rob sold Drip to Leadpages almost 3 years ago. Recently, he started TinySeed, an early stage VC fund and remote accelerator that aims to fill a gap in the market by providing funding to SaaS companies who don’t aim for the 100 million dollar goal.

In 2003, Apple was working on new types of inputs for the Mac. The plan was to get rid of the mouse and keyboard, and the team began to experiment with multitouch — rotating and zooming on-screen with a few careful flicks of the finger. One of the first prototypes of a finger-controlled tablet was known as Model 035, a large white tablet that looked something like a clunky precursor to the iPad. But at the same time, the mobile phone race began to take over and Apple made an important decision to change direction, that would revolutionize phones forever.

Diversity in Tech [Part 1]
Diversity can be a difficult issue to discuss, but the truth is the tech industry has a problem. Even a brief look at the data collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reveals huge racial disparities in the tech workforce compared to the private sector overall. Tech companies and investors should be concerned: Evidence strongly suggests that a racially diverse tech sector could translate into stronger financial performance. A McKinsey report on diversity showed a correlation between racial and ethnic diversity and a company’s financial performance. “For every 10 percent increase in racial and ethnic diversity on the senior-executive team,” the report stated, “gross earnings rose 0.8 percent.” So why aren’t our workforces more diverse? Why is it so hard for companies like Apple and Microsoft to build a workforce that better represents the customers they’re selling to? *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

The story of Instagram’s explosive rise reads like a Silicon Valley fairy tale, with the company gaining staggering momentum within a few short months. The app itself took only eight weeks to develop before launching on the iPhone, and within a year and a half Facebook had acquired the company for $1 billion in cash and stock. But like all good tales, the process involved many twists and turns, failures and successes, conflicts and synergies, and a dose of fortuitous happenstance. Want an ad free experience?

Product Failures: Path
Path was created in 2010 by former Facebook employee Dave Morin as a sort of anti-Facebook. It stood out with one good idea: limits for friends. You couldn’t add more than 50 people to your network when it first launched. As Facebook ballooned in size and our friend lists grew with it, Path sought to be the place where you chatted with only the people you were closest to. And for a little while, the idea seemed to work. Quickly, Google reportedly tried to gobble it up. By mid-2013, Morin proclaimed that people were checking the app “over 1 billion times per month.” But after years of irrelevance, it decided to finally shut its doors in 2018. What went wrong and what could have been? We explore that and more on today's episode. BIG NEWS We've officially launched the Rocketship Premium Podcast feed!

Product Failures: Blockbuster
In 2000, Reed Hastings, the founder of a fledgling company called Netflix, flew to Dallas to propose a partnership to Blockbuster CEO John Antioco and his team. The idea was that Netflix would run Blockbuster’s brand online and Antioco’s firm would promote Netflix in its stores. Hastings got laughed out of the room. Blockbuster went bankrupt in 2010 and Netflix is now a $28 billion dollar company, about ten times what Blockbuster was worth. So what happened that led Blockbuster's demise?

Product Failures: Color
Raising $41 million dollars before launch, Color should have been an instant hit, but instead met a swift demise. When it launched, the application had around 1 million downloads. By September 2011, the service had a little under 100,000 active users. Founded by serial entrepreneur Bill Nguyen and successful operator, Peter Pham, Color had one of the best teams in the business. However, in the weeks following Color's initial launch, controversy surrounded the startup's $41 million funding and mixed reviews on the product. The initial launch left users confused with the application's user interface and purpose. Its initial rating in the App Store was 2 out of 5 stars. In an interview with Robert Scoble in April 2011, Pham and Nguyen admitted that Color's launch was a wasted opportunity. But it wasn't just the launch that would sink the company. Today we take you behind the scenes of Color's rise and fall. BIG NEWS We've officially launched the Rocketship Premium Podcast feed!

Product Failures: TurboTax
It was November of 2014 and Brian Crofts was preparing for a meeting with two senior executives at Intuit. One was his boss, CeCe Morken, who ran Intuit’s Professional Tax (ProTax) business line, the $422 million business that sold tax preparation software to professional accountants. The other was Sasan Goodarzi, who ran Intuit’s $1.8 billion TurboTax business (TurboTax) that sold software to consumers. Crofts had devoted three years to a new product-- TurboTax PersonalPro -- that was a stepping stone in between these two business lines. The company’s leadership had decided it was an appropriate time for a major roll-out of the product and the purpose of the November meeting was to discuss and decide upon a go-to-market plan for PersonalPro. But not all launches create hockey stick growth. Find out what happened behind the scenes when Intuit rolled out TurboTax PersonalPro the led to its initial failure.

The (Abbreviated) History of Product Management
Today we explore the history of the Product Manager from it's early ideation by Neil McElroy to it's growth at Hewlett-Packard thru it's maturation at Microsoft and into today. We talk with former Microsoft Project Manager, Ellen Chisa , Former Microsoft Engineer (and 55th hire), Mark Zbikowski and Matt LeMay , the Author of Product Management in Practice, about this evolution over the past 80 years. For Neil McElroy the Brand Men were essentially his manifesto on what would become a product manager today. Their responsibilities ranged from tracking sales to managing the product, advertising and promotions. They were to “take full responsibility” for the brands implementation of advertising and sales and take a ‘huge weight’ off of the sales managers who were both ideating and implementing growth strategies. Bill Hewlett and David Packard interpreted the Brand Man ethos as putting decision making as close as possible to the customer, and making the product manager the voice of the customer internally. In the book The Hewlett-Packard Way this is credited with sustaining Hewlett-Packard’s 50 year record of unbroken 20% year-on-year growth between 1943 and 1993.

How Airbnb approaches SEO

Product-Led Growth
We are in the middle of a massive shift in the way people use and buy software. It’s been well over a decade since Salesforce brought software to the cloud. Apple put digital experiences in people’s pockets back in 2009 with the first iPhone. Blake talks about how we’re in “The End User Era” -- which is a new era that we’re now living in. We may be using applications for business purposes, but even those applications are adopted not because of some procurement manager signing a contract, but adopted from the bottom up within an organization. “The End User Era” applies to business applications like Slack, Zoom, Calendly, and others that you probably use every day.

Building Products People Want
Jobs to be done will change the way you think about product. It will change the way you approach user personas and influence your product decision process. It is one of the most important developments in product thinking in our time, so today we're going to dive right in. In this episode we talk with Jeetu Patel of Box, Bob Moesta co-creator of the Jobs to be done framework, Benedikt Lehnert of Wunderlist (now Microsoft) and Eric White. The theory of jobs to be done was developed in part as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation. But disruption theory doesn’t tell you how to create products and services that customers want to buy. Jobs to be done theory does. It transforms our understanding of customer choice in a way that no amount of data ever could, because it gets at the causal driver behind a purchase.

Shape Up with Ryan Singer of Basecamp
Ryan Singer and the Basecamp team have developed their own methodology for product planning. For one, they don't do waterfall or agile or scrum. For two, they don’t line walls with Post-it notes. For three, they don’t do daily stand ups, design sprints, development sprints, or anything remotely tied to a metaphor that includes being tired and worn out at the end. No backlogs, no Kanban, no velocity tracking, none of that. What they do instead is six week product builds followed by two weeks of cooling. Their leadership team decides how long they want to spend on tasks vs working with product estimates and if they work isn't done, it's thrown out. Today we sit down with Ryan Singer and learn more about his most recent book Shape Up which outlines this process. Read the full book at http://basecamp.com/shapeup .

Charlie Munger's Mental Models
Mental models are how we understand the world. Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things more relevant than others, and how we reason. A mental model is simply a representation of how something works. We cannot keep all of the details of the world in our brains, so we use models to simplify the complex into understandable and organizable chunks.

Balancing your company’s immediate needs with its long-term growth is both paramount and challenging – especially if your business is a startup.

The History of Product Management
Today we explore the history of the Product Manager from it's early ideation by Neil McElroy to it's growth at Hewlett-Packard thru it's maturation at Microsoft and into today. We talk with former Microsoft Project Manager, Ellen Chisa , Former Microsoft Engineer (and 55th hire), Mark Zbikowski and Matt LeMay , the Author of Product Management in Practice, about this evolution over the past 80 years. For Neil McElroy the Brand Men were essentially his manifesto on what would become a product manager today. Their responsibilities ranged from tracking sales to managing the product, advertising and promotions. They were to “take full responsibility” for the brands implementation of advertising and sales and take a ‘huge weight’ off of the sales managers who were both ideating and implementing growth strategies. Bill Hewlett and David Packard interpreted the Brand Man ethos as putting decision making as close as possible to the customer, and making the product manager the voice of the customer internally. In the book The Hewlett-Packard Way this is credited with sustaining Hewlett-Packard’s 50 year record of unbroken 20% year-on-year growth between 1943 and 1993.

How Adobe transformed itself into a $135 billion dollar SASS company

Making Time
Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings! or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why? In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn't mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention?

The Downsides of Data
On today's show we talk with Clive Thompson, the author of "Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World." We discuss why Coders were such a focus for him, and given all the recent news about Facebook and our personal data, it wasn't hard to figure out why he has such an intense focus on them. Data and surveillance are one of the biggest issues of our time. Product teams, product leaders, coders, designers, data scientists - these are the people that can help fix it. They are the people that can help move is in a better direction. I hope you’re able to walk away from this today and feel comfortable that what you’re working on, what you’re bringing into the world, has a net positive impact for the greater good.

Blockland: Moving Forward (Season Finale)
Well, we’ve taken quite a trip these past few weeks, haven’t we? This whole Blockland journey took us to quite a few places. Starting outside of Cleveland, in places like Miami, Puerto Rico and Las Vegas. Then into the boardrooms of Cleveland’s civic elite and to the Convention Center where Blockland’s Solutions conference took shape. Then the luxury car dealership where the architect of this whole thing makes himself at home. But, where does this journey take us all next? Not just for the listeners of this series, but the people in Cleveland who are on this Blockland journey?

Blockland: Finding Bernie Moreno
As we drive along this nondescript suburban street -- dotted with your standard fare of KFC’s and Pizza Hut’s and CVS Pharmacies, it seems like most other main suburban neighborhood thoroughfares here in Northeast Ohio. But as we pull in to the Mercedez Benz of North Olmstead dealership, I wonder to myself if everybody else knows that there’s something a little special to this place. I don’t mean the shiny glass structure itself or the ambient waterfall that cascades inside. That’s probably par for the course for any luxury car dealership. But… do people know that hidden inside this bastion of classy automobiles sits the biggest advocate of bringing Blockchain to Northeast Ohio?

Blockland: A Brief History of Blockchain
Blockchain is a system in which a record of transactions that are maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network. It’s a database or public ledger that can be used in a whole multitude of ways. And along with this overview of what it is, it’s probably useful to have a brief primer on the history of blockchain. Blockchain technology was first developed by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or people who developed bitcoin, it’s the pseudonym that authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, they also devised the first blockchain database. Blockchain, as an industry, grew out of the bitcoin ecosystem when it was realized that the underlying technology that operated bitcoin could be separated from the currency and used for all kinds of inter-organizational ways. Almost every major financial institution in the world is doing blockchain research at the moment. The term Blockchain was coined, in its modern interpretation, by Hal Finney in an email exchange with Satoshi in 2008. We'll cover this and more in today's episode. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

By now you’ve heard all the buzz, and criticism, of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. The constant fluctuations of the Bitcoin market. One minute it’s going to the moon, the next it’s tanking and will never come back. This isn’t a story all about Bitcoin, because as Bitcoin and it’s siblings Litecoin, Etherium and the thousands of other alt-coins that have come and gone over the years, the underlying technology, Blockchain, is becoming the real star of the show with Banks and Financial institutions around the world researching how they can best use this technology. But the ecosystem itself is still a bit odd. What Satoshi Nakomoto handed over the to the world of Cryptographic Cyberpunks in 2009, 10 years later has become a booming, albeit volatile, industry. There’s an incredible story going on right now in Cleveland.

A Job To Be Done: Building Products People Want
Jobs to be done will change the way you think about a product. It will change the way you approach user personas and influence your product decision process. It is one of the most important developments in product thinking in our time, so today we're going to dive right in. In this episode we talk with Jeetu Patel of Box, Bob Moesta co-creator of the Jobs to be done framework, Benedikt Lehnert of Wunderlist (now Microsoft) and Eric White. The theory of jobs to be done was developed in part as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation. But disruption theory doesn’t tell you how to create products and services that customers want to buy. Jobs to be done theory does. It transforms our understanding of customer choice in a way that no amount of data ever could because it gets at the causal driver behind a purchase. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Interview: Seth Godin on Achieving Greatness
We talk with Seth Godin about his view of the 10,000 hour rule, his own concept behind achieving greatness, The Dip, and his personal journey to success. After leaving Spinnaker in 1986, he used $20,000 in savings to found Seth Godin Productions, primarily a book packaging business, out of a studio apartment in New York City. He then met Mark Hurst and founded Yoyodyne. After a few years, Godin sold the book packaging business to his employees and focused his efforts on Yoyodyne, where he promoted the concept of permission marketing. Yoyodyne, launched in 1995, used contests, online games, and scavenger hunts to market companies to participating users. In August 1996, Flatiron Partners invested $4 million in Yoyodyne in return for a 20% stake. At Yoyodyne, Godin published Permission Marketing: Turning strangers into friends and friends into customers . In 1998, he sold Yoyodyne to Yahoo! for about $30 million and became Yahoo's vice president of direct marketing. In March 2006, Godin launched Squidoo. In July 2008, Squidoo was one of the 500 most visited sites in the world. Godin is the author of over 18 books.

Persona Alchemy: What we learned bringing user personas to life
A user persona is a fictional representation of your ideal customer. Today, we take two of those fictional representations and bring them to life. Mike Belsito has ventured out to find several real-life personas, interview them and bring you what we've found. How accurate are our personas? What are we often missing from them that would help us build better products? A persona typically has a name, a picture, relevant characteristics such as age or income group, behavioral traits, common tasks, and a goal that describes the problem the persona wants to see solved or the benefit the character wants to achieve. This information is traditionally based on direct observation, interviews, and other qualitative market research. Personas should help you develop empathy for your users and customers. They encourage you to embrace a user-centered approach: Putting the users first and building a product that truly benefits them. This avoids the fallacy of a solution-centric approach: worrying more about the product and its features and technologies that the reason people would want to buy and use it in the first place. Alan Cooper pioneered personas in product development in the 1990ies. Today every product manager and product owner should be able to create and work with personas. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Interview: Blade Kotelly of Sonos on Design Thinking and Product Poetry
Blade Kotelly is a senior lecturer at MIT and the leader of the advanced concepts lab at Sonos. We talk with Blade about how he defines the problem he solves at Sonos, and how to articulate that at an emotion level using design thinking. At Sonos he is driving the process to determine what experiences Sonos can and should build next. Researching trends in the technology landscape, customer behavior, music creators, and Sonos partners, and creating and testing advanced concepts. At MIT he teaches students principals of design-thinking, how to articulate designs, critique designs, create emotionally and intellectually compelling presentations, create a point-brand, conduct usability testing and learn to apply design-thinking to all aspects of their lives. Blade also tells us about the audio software he designed that was used by United on 9/11. A fascinating, and heartbreaking look at how design thinking and product management has real life effects and consequences. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

Interview: Seth Godin on Achieving Greatness
We talk with Seth Godin about his view of the 10,000 hour rule, his own concept behind achieving greatness, The Dip, and his personal journey to success. After leaving Spinnaker in 1986, he used $20,000 in savings to found Seth Godin Productions, primarily a book packaging business, out of a studio apartment in New York City. He then met Mark Hurst and founded Yoyodyne. After a few years, Godin sold the book packaging business to his employees and focused his efforts on Yoyodyne, where he promoted the concept of permission marketing. Yoyodyne, launched in 1995, used contests, online games, and scavenger hunts to market companies to participating users. In August 1996, Flatiron Partners invested $4 million in Yoyodyne in return for a 20% stake. At Yoyodyne, Godin published Permission Marketing: Turning strangers into friends and friends into customers . In 1998, he sold Yoyodyne to Yahoo! for about $30 million and became Yahoo's vice president of direct marketing. In March 2006, Godin launched Squidoo. In July 2008, Squidoo was one of the 500 most visited sites in the world. Godin is the author of over 18 books. Free Prize Inside was a Forbes Business Book of the Year in 2004, while Purple Cow sold over 150,000 copies in more than 23 print runs in its first two years. The Dip was a Business Week and New York Times bestseller; Business Week also named Linchpin among its "20 of the best books by the most influential thinkers in business" on November 13, 2015. In the early 1990s, he curated a 10-book series for children titled Worlds of Power . Each of the book's plots is based on a video game. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

A Job To Be Done: Building Products People Want
Jobs to be done will change the way you think about product. It will change the way you approach user personas and influence your product decision process. It is one of the most important developments in product thinking in our time, so today we're going to dive right in. In this episode we talk with Jeetu Patel of Box, Bob Moesta co-creator of the Jobs to be done framework, Benedikt Lehnert of Wunderlist (now Microsoft) and Eric White. The theory of jobs to be done was developed in part as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation. But disruption theory doesn’t tell you how to create products and services that customers want to buy. Jobs to be done theory does. It transforms our understanding of customer choice in a way that no amount of data ever could, because it gets at the causal driver behind a purchase. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.

The (Abbreviated) History of Product Management
Today we explore the history of the Product Manager from it's early ideation by Neil McElroy to it's growth at Hewlett-Packard thru it's maturation at Microsoft and into today. We talk with former Microsoft Project Manager, Ellen Chisa , Former Microsoft Engineer (and 55th hire), Mark Zbikowski and Matt LeMay , the Author of Product Management in Practice, about this evolution over the past 80 years. For Neil McElroy the Brand Men were essentially his manifesto on what would become a product manager today. Their responsibilities ranged from tracking sales to managing the product, advertising and promotions. They were to “take full responsibility” for the brands implementation of advertising and sales and take a ‘huge weight’ off of the sales managers who were both ideating and implementing growth strategies. Bill Hewlett and David Packard interpreted the Brand Man ethos as putting decision making as close as possible to the customer, and making the product manager the voice of the customer internally. In the book The Hewlett-Packard Way this is credited with sustaining Hewlett-Packard’s 50 year record of unbroken 20% year-on-year growth between 1943 and 1993. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.
