Description
Summer is in full swing. Ben spent a fun and productive day talking about work at a Red Sox game. It was an own-your-own business startup moment.
Derrick can see clearly now, thanks to SMILE laser eye surgery. But he’s still seeking clarity on whether to make the masses happy, or stick to core concerns to attract specific customers when creating a new product.
Today’s Topics Include:
Tuple Grows Up: New version of marketing site getting ready to launch
Cha Ching: Confirmation of biggest single Tuple invoice sent for payment
How much wisdom is there in the crowd? Can you trust it?
Remote Control: Tuple customers give up control to use driver/navigator pairing
Self-serve Sign-up: Tuple strives for automation, learning, and feedback
Time for a Truce: Trash talking, name calling stops for Slack to send customers to Tuple
Soon to be released: Derrick’s StaticKit, a modern approach for embedding dynamic forms onto static sites

2: From Good to Great: Welcome to the Art of Product podcast. Derrick is rocking his “I ♥ yoga” shirt because he started practicing yoga at a studio down the street. He also gives us an update on new changes and features at Drip. Derrick was inspired by Ben’s newsletter and decided to work on his own newsletter, which gave him a great opportunity to use his own product. Ben is discovering that unemployment is a roller coaster. His stress level has been about 5X his normal baseline stress level. He started working at the co-working space and attending mixer events. He is emailing people on his list and sharing his ideas to get feedback for possible products for him to work on. Ben has been reflecting on how people and relationships make him shine and is considering finding a co-founder for his product. by The Art of Product
