    I’m back as AppSumo CEO

    My book Million Dollar Weekend is for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own business. I break down the process of starting into simple steps that you can do in just one weekend.   After a year of paternity leave, I’m back as CEO at AppSumo… and holy moly, it’s been challenging.  In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes of stepping back into my company, where we’ve gone wrong in my absence, and what I’m doing to fix it. From running a “listening tour” across the company, to rethinking our deal standards, this is me working in real time to bring AppSumo back stronger than ever. It’s been exhausting but humbling. If you’ve ever faced chaos in your own business, I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.   In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things: • How getting clear on “who owns what” keeps teams from drowning • Why true leadership beats management every time • Why making a call (even if it’s not the right one) is always better than sitting on the fence Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.   I have also been sharing emails on my brutally honest advice on a variety of topics.

    Craftsmanship Is Sexy

    My book Million Dollar Weekend is for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own business. I break down the process of starting into simple steps that you can do in just one weekend.   As summer wraps up and I pack for Austin, I’ve been reflecting on my time in Europe. One book I stumbled across in Portugal hit the mood perfectly and got me thinking about craftsmanship, curiosity, and what it really takes to build something you’re proud of. It’s Always Summer on the Inside is the biography of Jack O’Neill, the surf pioneer who turned freezing San Francisco waves into a global wetsuit empire. His story is a sharp reminder that the best businesses are born from solving real problems and obsessing over quality. I also did my first bookstore event and spoke at a local high school. Both reminded me that deep down most of us already know the answers to our big questions. The real challenge is showing up, putting in the reps, and creating work that lasts.   In this episode, you’ll hear 3 BIG things: • Why craftsmanship and quality always beat shortcuts • How to stop waiting for permission and act on your intuition • Why success hides in the boring, unglamorous repetitions   Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

    The $2000 Night Room

    My book Million Dollar Weekend is for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own business. I break down the process of starting into simple steps that you can do in just one weekend.   So this summer was a wild sweaty mess. After a pretty uncomfortable RV trip with my wife and one-year-old across France, I booked one night at a $2,000 luxury resort in Bordeaux, and it blew my mind!  I’m not usually a baller-hotel guy (Bonjour Best Western, merci beaucoup), but this place nailed every little detail. In this episode, I break down the customer experience lessons and how you can apply them to your own business. No matter what you sell, there’s always a way to go that extra mile for your customers.   In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:   How small, low cost touches can leave a big impact and wow your customers. Why consistency builds trust and long-term loyalty. How to turn around those unexpected complications should they arise in your business.   Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.   I have also been sharing emails on my brutally honest advice on a variety of topics.
