90 Days After My Acquisition

In this episode, Matt Watson interviews Rob Snyder, the founder and CEO of Reframe, about product market fit and the challenges of being an entrepreneur. They discuss the definition of product market fit, the importance of customer case studies, and the need to focus on solving specific problems for a target audience.

Rob shares insights from his program for founders and emphasizes the value of talking to customers and iterating on the sales pitch. They also touch on the difficulty of scaling and the limitations of traditional business education in teaching early-stage startup strategies.

The conversation explores the challenges of finding product-market fit and starting a business. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on customer needs and simplifying the process of building a startup. Matt and Rob discuss the common struggles of not knowing how to build the right product or sell it effectively. They highlight the need to listen to customers' problems rather than their proposed solutions and to frame everything in the context of a customer success story. The conversation also touches on the value of a Harvard degree in entrepreneurship and the ongoing desire to start new ventures.

Tune in to learn that product market fit is not all that complicated.

Getting to Product Market Fit, Harvard MBA vs Startup Experience

Feeling trapped on a workaholic hamster wheel?

This episode of Startup Hustle dives deep into the entrepreneur's struggle for work-life balance and that elusive thing called happiness.

Join serial entrepreneur and travel addict Michael Motamedi as he discusses aligning your company goals with your desire to, you know, not die alone. We'll crack the code on the "happiness threshold" (it's not about that third yacht) and explore why fixing your water heater might be more fulfilling than you think. Plus, Matt finally admits he might have a delegation problem. (Spoiler alert: he does.)

This episode is for you if:
You’ve ever dreamt of quitting your job and living on a beach in the Philippines (turns out happiness might be cheaper than you think)
You struggle to define success without a Scrooge McDuck money bin
You're tired of feeling guilty about not working 24/7 (hint: Mr. Beast takes breaks, too)
You secretly believe AI can plan your next vacation (spoiler alert: Michael tried it with AI travel assistant GuideGeek)

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe re-evaluate your life plan. Because, let's face it, chasing happiness on a hamster wheel is exhausting.

Tune in and buckle up for a thought-provoking ride!
