    Look, launching your first product is tough. Of course. But as someone somewhere might’ve once said: It’s the second product that can kill you.

    In the current (and probably permanent) Zoom culture, it seems that ‘learning by osmosis’ is barely a thing anymore, and coaching is more critical than ever. Plus, burnout is knocking at the door for even the best professionals, impacting productivity, company culture, and overall quality of life. We talk with BetterUp Co-founder and CEO, Alexi Robichaux, on why it doesn't have to be this way.

Wise words from the episode: “Innovation doesn’t just slip out… it’s a ton of front line hand-to-hand combat with market forces with nay-sayers, with your own internal doubts and struggles”. - Alexi Robichaux Learn more: The Shake Up HubSpot Podcast Network Learn more about your ad choices.
