We Lost 50%… Now What?

from Noah Kagan Presents · host Noah Kagan

I'm feeding my baby while recording this… she's spilling milk, I'm spilling AppSumo updates. Everybody wins.  So we've gone from 140 people down to around 40. Revenue has dropped hard. And for the first time in 16 years, staying in business actually feels uncertain. So this episode is about what we're doing now. What's working, what's not, and how we're getting things back on track. I talk about why we're focusing on just 30 great deals instead of hundreds, what AI is actually good for… and where it's total BS. And how I'm thinking about rebuilding the team in a way that actually works long term. Also sharing a mindset nugget I just heard and loved from an incredibly talented cyclist:  'when it's hard, that's when you're strong'.  Turns out that applies to parenting… and business. You'll like this one if things feel messy right now and you're trying to figure out your next move.   In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: What to do when your business gets cut in half How to rebuild a team after layoffs and uncertainty Why hard moments are where you level up   Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way. I have also been sharing emails on my brutally honest advice on a variety of topics. People have been loving it.
