    Episode 117 - Founder Archetypes - The Finance Founder
    May 1 2024

    Founders are not snowflakes after all. They tend to come in a finite array of archetypes. In this series, I begin by discussing the Finance Founder. His/Her orientation to money and ROI over-determines every decision they make. For good and for bad. If you recognize yourself in this episode, I hope it helps trigger some self-awareness and growth. You need it. :)

    Episode 116 – Finance Your Strategy, Not the Other Way Around
    Apr 15 2024

    It can be very tempting to look at your balance sheet or cash flow and then pick only tactics you can afford based on your present snapshot. The problem with this is not your financial responsibility. The problem is that you can’t compete effectively and grow rapidly until you prioritize competitive strategy first and then determine the relevant playbook you can afford. I promise you that you won’t end up with the same playbook, even if it costs the same. Have a listen and see what you think.

    Episode 115 - Direct to Consumer is Toast for Founders
    Apr 1 2024

    Scaling a consumer-packaged goods brand via the DTC channel is more or less dead to all but the super-wealthy founder. It's important to note that the much larger, adjacent online grocery space is also declining. I explain why the dream is over for scaling into the eight figures online in CPG. And how you should think about both 3P online and the DTC channels moving forward. You don't want to miss this episode.
