    Ep 20 Which Comes First: Product, Brand, or Trend?

    You've got a great product, but does it automatically become a great brand? And what about trends—should you chase them or ignore them?  In this episode, Jaime and Jessie tackle the question: which comes first? We explore how products (including services), brands, and trends actually interact with each other, when each one matters most, and how understanding their relationship can change your business strategy.  Through real-world examples, you'll see what happens when brands and products are misaligned, and why the marketplace demand (trends) tells you something important.  If you've ever wondered which element should take priority, this episode reveals the answer—with nuance.
