Welcome back Product Bosses! This episode marks a major milestone—700 episodes—and I’m so grateful you’re here to celebrate with me. Whether you’ve been listening from the beginning or just joined our community, this moment is a shared victory. When Mina and I recorded our very first episode back in 2018, we had no idea where this would go. We were two product-based business owners looking for connection and guidance, and we decided to build what we couldn't find. Today, I’m reflecting on that journey—how far we’ve come, what we’ve learned, and what I hope to continue sharing with all of you.
THE MESSY BEGINNING, THE MIDDLE, AND WHAT’S ALWAYS WORKED
In this special episode, I’m sharing not just the wins but the messy middle—the unglamorous truth of building something that lasts. From shifting from a co-founding duo to leading the company solo, from pandemic pivots to rebuilding The Product Boss from the ground up, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t come with a perfect plan—it comes from taking action anyway. I talk about what hasn’t changed in all these years: bestsellers always win out over more products, sales channels need to be diversified, and profit always beats popularity. These aren’t just strategies—they’re the pillars that have helped so many of our students grow into six- and seven-figure businesses.
In the spirit of celebration, I also walk you through 7 hard-earned truths—little mindset bombs you can come back to when things get hard. Your product isn’t the problem; your positioning might be. Your pricing isn’t too high; maybe you’re marketing to the wrong customer. You don’t need an audience to start selling. And most importantly? Your dreams aren’t unrealistic—they’re just under-supported. You’ll hear what’s next for me personally and professionally, and how I’m stepping into a season of clarity, freedom, and deeper intention.
If you’ve ever doubted your path, questioned your worth, or wondered if you’re really cut out for this—this episode is for you. It’s a thank-you. It’s a reset. And it’s an invitation to dream even bigger. I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s keep going—together.
