The episode kicks off with hosts Brian and Jordan celebrating Brian's plans to attend a Michigan football game, embracing the excitement of being national champs. They humorously discuss their expected spending on team swag and family outings, creating an upbeat atmosphere.
Brian shares his recent experience at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York, reflecting on the unique energy of the event and the thrill of watching top-tier players from close proximity. The discussion highlights the vibrant atmosphere of the tournament and how it feels distinctly New York, particularly with the high prices and social hierarchies present.
Both hosts express a sense of renewed focus and energy with the arrival of the back-to-school season. Brian discusses how having uninterrupted time in his home office allows him to concentrate better on work and tackle new business resolutions.
Jordan reveals the exciting news that his company, Rosie, has converted trial users into paying customers, marking a significant milestone. The discussion revolves around customer acquisition and the importance of understanding the entire user funnel for future growth.
The conversation shifts to Brian's recent pricing experiment, where he eliminated the free trial option for his service. Insights from this experiment suggest a potential uptick in revenue, prompting Brian to reconsider the future direction of his pricing strategy.
Jordan discusses his evolving mindset around launching a SaaS business, expressing hesitation about investing time in such models due to market saturation and competition. He explores the potential of pursuing a training business instead, emphasizing the growing demand for skill-building in technology, especially as AI reshapes job roles.
A key theme emerges as Brian and Jordan contemplate the workforce's future, highlighting the rising need for tech-savvy employees in non-tech industries. They predict a trend where more businesses will seek to integrate technology, creating opportunities for training around those technologies.
