How to Get Your Product to Market & Make Sales FASTER Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

How long have you been “working on” an idea that you could have already launched? In this episode, Chris and I talk about why your first launch doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to happen. We break down what we learned from launching Found Trip and Million Dollar Guest, why the first version is really about testing for product-market fit and getting feedback, and why you have to keep marketing even when you don’t get an immediate response. Tune in for a reminder to stop getting ready to get ready, put your idea out there, and let the feedback help you make it better.

What if the things falling apart in your life are actually creating space for the life you’ve been praying for? In this episode, I break down the 3 dangerous prayers from Craig Groeschel’s Dangerous Prayers and how they’ve played out in my own life.
