Q&A: Turning Pro, Making Products, Finding Focus (FS039)
On today’s show we answer a handful of questions from eager listeners, tackling subjects like finding focus, sticking to your voice and making your product before building an audience (and vice versa).
Want to ask your own questions? Speak it in or write it in and tell us who you are, what you’re building and what you’re struggling with.
Special thanks to Jeff, Kiri, Jackie, Avon, Vesone and Olio for the questions they sent in. Hope the answers are helpful.
