The Glow Up - Fabulous conversations with innovative minds.

Nathan C Bowser, Awesome Future Studio

Almost every founder is in a league of their own. It’s lonely at the top for founders and product leaders. It’s lonely in innovation - few people really understand what you do or can share relatable examples or advice.  Welcome to The Glow Up - Fabulous conversations with innovative minds. I'm your host - Nathan C - founder of Awesome Future.  Here at The Glow Up, we're on a mission to uplift and humaninze the world of startups and innovaiton by focussing on what really matters in the long entreprenuerial journey of successfully taking an idea or technology to market. Most innovative ideas are ahead of their time, which makes staying on the playing field long enough for your idea to “hit” one of the most crucial skills for a founder or new business.  The Glow Up talks with innovators about their big ideas, how they stay resilient in the face of change and how they find and build the value that will drive their future success.  What is a glow up - you might ask? Glow up is defined as "a positive transformation, often involving significant changes in appearance, confidence, or lifestyle.  We use "Glow up" to refer to the process of becoming a better version of oneself, more attractive, and more successful. If you're a founder or a product leader who's looking to have a glow up of your own - or if you're a seasoned entrepreneur who's  stories can support others,  we'd love to hear from you. Please add you name to the guest list with the link in the show notes.  Each episode will also feature a community spotlight for innovative NGOs, non-proffits, and other organizations that are driving innovation and change in their communities.

  7. Solving the Problem of Fragmented, Unstructured Customer Insights - Dwayne King

    Solving the Problem of Fragmented, Unstructured Customer Insights - Dwayne King

    Dwayne King is the CEO and Co-Founder of Rutabaga, a startup building a decision intelligence engine that turns fragmented, unstructured customer insights into actionable knowledge accessible across the organization.  Rutabaga’s mission is to help companies become genuinely customer-centric by eliminating the barriers between scattered data, institutional memory, and daily decision-making. Key Takeaways From Data to Action: Rutabaga ingests qualitative, unstructured customer data (such as interviews, call transcripts, and research reports) and transforms it into structured, actionable insights directly within existing team workflows.Solving Institutional Amnesia: Dwayne observed that companies often repeat research and lose valuable insights due to organizational silos and staff turnover. Rutabaga acts as a persistent, searchable “brain” for institutional memory, so teams don’t lose history or context.AI-Powered Speed: Their ingest engine dramatically reduces “time-to-insight”-what previously took a week of manual analysis now takes about an hour, thanks to AI, graph databases for connection mapping, and integrations with tools like Jira and Figma.Embedded in Decision Workflows: The team learned it’s not enough to collect and centralize insights; actionable data must appear in the tools and moments where decisions are made, not just in a standalone repository.Continuous Customer Feedback: Rutabaga’s roadmap evolves with weekly user research and prototype testing to avoid building a product that only serves their own perspective. Customer feedback consistently shapes functionality and integrations.Iterative Product Philosophy: Product vision at Rutabaga evolves through ongoing customer discovery, not from a single “aha” moment-dispelling the myth that tech startups are born fully-formed from a founder’s head.Ultimate Goal: Build an intelligence engine that future-proofs institutional knowledge, enables faster iteration, and supports better business decisions at every level.About Dwayne King ___ Dwayne King is the Founder and CEO of Rutabaga, an AI-native platform helping product teams make smarter, faster decisions by turning scattered customer insights into strategic clarity. With over 20 years of experience in product development, UX design, and human-centered innovation, Dwayne has led transformative work for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups alike. His career has centered on a single theme: helping organizations align around what truly matters to their customers. At Rutabaga, he's tackling one of the most persistent challenges in tech—fragmented decision-making—by building the connective tissue between insight and action. Dwayne is passionate about designing systems, teams, and experiences that don’t just ship faster, but ship smarter.
