    Having good ideas isn't enough anymore. I've seen many good (even great!) ideas get pitched, only to be shrugged off or ignored. The reason? The person pitching the idea didn't have influence. I've been the "ideas guy" in the past, and it's not a great position to be in. - your heart is in the right place - you want to help and make an impact - but you're not being listened to, which builds resentment The only way to solve this is to become truly influential across your org. I'm super passionate about this topic, which is why I'm hosting a Maven session dedicated to it. I'll be joined by Julien Sauvage 🥖 and Natalie Taylor, and we'll talk through how to gain influence as a marketer at startups, scale-ups, and enterprises. You'll learn: - What you need to do to be heard, drive decisions, and get things done across your organization - Common mistakes (that even mid-level marketers make!) that hinder influence - And how to leverage your influence to optimize product launches, campaigns, positioning, and drive growth It's happening Aug 13 at 2pm PST :-) Hope to see you there.

    I’ve been a co-founder/CEO 3x now with hundreds of employees and $90M in capital raised. Here’s an inside look into how I think about my job... It boils down to 3 things: 1. Set a vision for the company. 2. Hire and organize the right people to the right jobs. 3. Execute on a top strategic priority. It sounds great in theory, but the reality is Maven is just 18 people. So there is also a 4. Operational bullshit. Let me talk about all 4 of these... 1. Set a vision for the company. Setting a vision only happens once every 6 months, but there’s an ongoing 1-2 meetings per week where I’m talking to another startup CEO, an investor, or diving deep into a competitor to understand what they are doing. This is constant background thinking: do we have the right strategy? Is someone else doing it better? Startup CEOs are paranoid by nature, and I’m always investigating and evaluating if the company is pointed in the right direction. 2. Hire and organize the right people to the right jobs. This is 30-50% of my time. Recruiting new hires. 1:1s with my direct reports (I have 5, and always try to keep less than 8). Skip-levels once per quarter with half the company. Attending product reviews, strategy meetings, and leading our leadership and all hands meetings. 3. Execute on a top strategic priority. Usually this is hiring. Sometimes it means launching a new product, recruiting a set of instructors, or interviewing customers to help design a new direction. I almost always pick 1-2 strategic priorities in a given month and just work on them until they are in a good place. BTW we're currently hiring for two roles at Maven: a Partner/Product Marketer and a Growth PM! Apply here: https://lnkd.in/ehwdJfcH 4. Operational bullshit. I’m in year 13 of being in charge of company operations. It is extremely dialed, but it still takes time. P&L reviews, investor updates, calendaring, and correspondence (Slack and email). Though I like to think I rarely attend “networking events,” I invariably go to at least 1 dinner per month and 3 conferences per year. Less than I did when I was younger, but still enough to stay fresh on what’s going on in the industry and catch up with close contacts. Oh, and I probably spend about 30-60 min/day on social, which has been a core part of Maven’s success and growth. Many people only see the outward stuff: PR, product launches, and social posts. But the reality is 70%+ of my time is spent on stuff you will never see: new hires, coaching existing employees, aligning the company around the mission, and running or attending meetings. Lots of meetings. In my experience, this is highly typical of all CEOs. There might be the rare few who have figured out how to avoid this by taking extreme measures (running a meeting-less company or having a COO who manages the entire team). They are the exception.

    Introducing our new collection, The Future of Design! 💫 https://lnkd.in/eMre_i95

    The best designers I’ve worked with are “full stack.” And I’m starting to believe this is where the entire design profession is going: If you're in the top 10%, specializing in your craft will still be highly valuable. But we’re also seeing more designers broaden their skillset – learning to prototype, becoming "design engineers,” mastering product strategy, and doubling down on their business acumen. This might explain why Maven’s top converting category is design! What’s driving this? Unfortunately, tech downsizing particularly targeted designers. As companies get smaller, designers must do more with less, which means having more diverse skills. Simultaneously, AI is enabling designers to dramatically increase their output. With new tools making it easier to create high fidelity work, the ceiling for excellence in design is only getting higher. That’s why today, we're launching a dozen new courses for designers: leaders of the craft sharing their experience on how to develop your skills and grow your cross-functional influence. 💫 Introducing... The Future of Design collection: https://lnkd.in/eb8nqrMN. Some highlights: - UI Engineering 101 for Designers with Derek Briggs (Clerk) and Mariana Castilho (Vercel) - Become an AI Product Designer with Maheen Sohail (Meta) - Growth Design Essentials: Crafting Successful Products with Fonz Morris (Netflix) - Startup Design Leadership Accelerator with Kevin Yien (Stripe, Mutiny, Square) - Master Your Product Design and UX Research Job Search with Lena Kul (Miro) - Strategy and Influence for Product Designers with Dan Winer (PandaDoc) - DesignOps Fundamentals with Adam Fry-Pierce (Google) and Salomé Mortazavi (SiriusXM) - Unlocking Strategic Innovation through Effective Design Leadership with Kevin Bethune (Invoy, BCG) PS. What skill do you think will be most important for designers to learn in the next 5 years? Share what you’re seeing in the comments!

    The most pernicious aspect of burning out at work is that being in a state of burnout affects our own self awareness, and so we aren't always aware that we are burning out. Burning out can feel good while you're in the early stages of it. You're checking things off your list, you're moving fast... until you hit a wall. Join me and Liz Fosslien on July 10th to hear us talk about our experience burning out at work, how we recovered, and what we've learned in our research about preventing and recovering from burnout! This is a new offering from Maven called "Lightning Lessons"-- 30 min live lessons by experts on key topics. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/g7tMn3qt

    "Yo, let's do Product-led Growth! Sales is over!" Don't waltz into a company meeting shouting that. You'll create confusion and - for a good reason - fear among sales and anyone who has revenue responsibility. Introducing product-led growth belongs to a company strategy as an investment, not an OKR goal for a single team. On Friday, I’m joining Gagan Biyani, CEO of Maven, for a live conversation on what it takes to build your Product-led Growth strategy. We’ll get into: - How PLG leverages product value to create organic growth - How to identify your product’s unique “aha moment” - How PMs can effectively collaborate with sales RSVP for June 28 (it’s free): https://bit.ly/3VDPnF5 and join 350 others who have already signed up! #productledgrowth

    The most common mistake I’ve seen founders make is falling in love with a particular idea & then spending way too many cycles trying to grow something that doesn’t work. 🫠 I started Rupa because I had conviction in the market and the broader macro shift -> i.e. conviction in a whole new model of healthcare. It was clear the way we think about health, wellness, and medicine was changing rapidly and would soon be a massive industry. In 2017, it wasn't obvious, but I knew it would soon be. We had to build fast. But I didn’t know the right entry point. The right entry point = something the world needs today that will ultimately compound & allow you to achieve the bigger vision. Instead of spending months researching and academically thinking about the billion dollar idea, we started building. What most people don't know is that I actually had zero confidence in our initial product - I knew it wouldn’t be “the thing”. But we launched it anyway. Why? The goal was to learn what the market wanted. As fast as possible. We then iterated multiple times until we found the thing that worked (Rupa’s lab portal). And wow, did it work. 🤩 Tomorrow, I’m joining Gagan Biyani for a live conversation on how and when to pivot for early stage startups. Gagan has founded 3 companies including Udemy, Sprig, and Maven & has lived through finding PFM multiple times. 💥 We’ll get into: - How we found PMF at Rupa - How to pair logic with your gut when deciding to pivot - How to build an MVP on an aggressive deadline RSVP to join (it’s free!): https://bit.ly/3VNJLcn
