Listen "Putting the Cart Before the Horse: Market First, Build Later?"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all seen it. Products are rushed to market before they're ready. I break down two classic failures: Segway and Zune. Using the Go-Giver framework, I explore what happens when marketing runs ahead of real value. I walk through the good, the bad, and the ugly of launching too soon. I share observations that can help you market smarter without losing trust or long-term success.🎙 Thank You for Being Part of the Journey!Your support means the world to me.
