In Episode 6, Sean is speaking with Greg Stewart, CEO of Ladder, a company that was on track to launch a brand new app in March of 2020 when Covid hit and forced the team to pivot in ways they had never imagined. Greg discusses how a deep understanding of their customers helped his team not only improve their product but push them in a new direction that allowed customers to connect at a time when they needed it most. As Greg says, “it's always a matter of who before what, it's people before solutions.”

In Episode 5, Sean is speaking with Dan Darcy, who is instantly recognizable to anyone who has attended Dreamforce in the last decade.

Dan discusses how they iteratively crafted those launches, from the early soft launches to defining the single overarching message that would hit just the right note.
