    Cydney Mar on 45+ Years of Product Experience and Getting Products Off the Ground

    I recently sat down with Cydney Mar, who brings more than 45 years of experience across fashion, manufacturing, TV shopping and product development. What I liked about the conversation was how practical she is about getting products off the ground. We covered: Why a good product idea often doesn’t see the light of dayWhat businesses often underestimate before launchingHow she thinks about testing small while planning for much bigger volumesWhat years inside factories and product businesses taught her about knowing when something can actually scale There were a few parts of this conversation where you could really tell the difference between theory and someone who has actually done this for decades. Give it a listen if you’re building a product, thinking about launching one, or just want to hear what 45+ years of experience looks like in practice.

    Dima Beseda on Where the Influencer Economy Is Heading Next

    Dima Beseda has been building businesses inside digital economies since he was a teenager. He went from making money inside World of Warcraft to co-founding Overgear, which grew to around $40M ARR. Along the way, he worked hands-on across marketing, product and growth, with influencer marketing becoming a major part of how several of those businesses grew. So when Dima started thinking about what he wanted to build next, the creator economy was a natural place to look. In this conversation, we get into where influencer marketing is heading and what changes when AI starts removing much of the manual work behind it. We cover: • The halo effect influencer activity can have across paid ads, organic traffic and brand • How AI changes the economics of managing hundreds of creators • Why micro and nano influencers could become much more important • Dima’s vision for making influencer marketing far easier to scale This one is particularly relevant if your business is already investing heavily in influencers, or you’re trying to work out how the channel fits into the rest of your marketing.

    Murray Smith on How EOS Actually Works in a Small Business

    I’ve been using EOS in my business for years. The problem is, I eventually Frankensteined it with other systems and turned it into something completely different. Probably more fun, definitely less effective. So I got Murray Smith on the podcast to straighten me out. Murray has implemented EOS across 60+ businesses, and we go straight into the practical stuff: right people/right seats, processes, Level 10 meetings, execution vs vision, and where business owners tend to get EOS wrong. If you’ve ever been remotely interested in EOS or read Traction and wondered what it looks like in the real world, this episode is for you.
