RS331: I'm Still Here...

RS331: I'm Still Here...

Author: RogueStartups December 18, 2024 Duration: 9:23
After a 2+ month hiatus, we're back!  Watch on YouTube Sorry for the pause in episodes, but thank you for tuning in this week.  In this episode I talk through why the forever long break in the podcast, what I've learned in that time, and where things are with me and the business. But most of all, I want to hear from you...what do you want out of this podcast. Hit me up on Twitter, LinkedIn or even Bluesky

Behind every new company is a story, and Rogue Startups digs into the real ones-the messy, uncertain, and exhilarating paths founders actually walk. This isn't about polished success tales; it's a candid look at the day-to-day grind of building a business from the ground up. You'll hear directly from entrepreneurs in the thick of it, along with seasoned experts who specialize in the crucial engines of growth: sales, marketing, and product development. Conversations focus on practical tactics, particularly around scaling productized services and SaaS offerings, exploring the real "how" behind their growth hacking strategies. The value of this podcast lies in that shared experience-hearing how others navigate the very obstacles you might be staring down, and learning what moves actually led to a win. It’s for anyone who prefers the unvarnished truth of entrepreneurship over theory, offering a sense of camaraderie and a toolbox of ideas drawn from the front lines. Tune in for authentic dialogue that skips the fluff and gets straight to the challenges and victories of building something new.
