A dive into subscription-based businesses who live and breathe M.R.R. (monthly recurring revenue) to talk about what fuels growth, reduces churn and improves lifetime value. We also touch on the mental health side of running a business with high-performance demands including stress, overwhelm, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. I ask each guest what they've experienced and what they do to deal with these issues along the way. Brought to you by CampaignRefinery.com

Love the question “how did you get your 1st 100 customers”

This podcast asks the many of the questions you want to know about some of the products and services you use and pay for online. My favorite question by far is how did you get your 1st 100 questions. Creating a startup is easy. Getting to the 1st 100 (PAYING) customers is not. Ton of insights here! — Looking forward to learning more.
