Ship it and Sip it

"This team will be experts who can do everything on their own — essentially, founders are getting a cool service that is working better and faster." – Art Garadecky

Better and faster is Art's thing. This week on Ship it and Sip it, he and John dive into:
🤖 Sales and lead-gen automation
💡 Improving the problem and idea validation process
🛠 Building skills on internal products for our community

And what he's learned about effective outreach across a variety of channels and contexts.

"The most important part for me is understanding your target audience, why they're interested in your product. It's hard at the beginning when you have just an idea — I think it's all about the people and their use cases."
