7. Ask Me Anything (AMA) Special
In this special episode of the podcast I share my answers to three questions I received when doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the Software as a Service community on Reddit this week.
It's hard to scale down an hour long conversation, followed by an evening of written Q&A on Reddit into a ~20 minute show, but tonight I tried.
On this special episode of the show I have experimented with a different format – with three questions from the AMA, and a summary of my answers. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Actions / take aways
- As a CEO, a lot of your job is to: give direction, unblock, and communicate with your team.
- Don't purely focus on the marketing that is measurable – take risks, experiment, be bold. Do things that are impossible to measure.
- With your marketing – make time for responding and reacting to news-worthy events in your industry. Newsjacking is a thing!
- Be clear with what you want from life, from your business, from your team. It will make a lot of things easier.
- Find a coach to help you make time for yourself and clarify your thoughts. You'll be glad you did.
