New on Lightning Speed! How to grow and retain at the same damn time.


Hi Reader,

I just dropped episode 2 of the Lighting Speed podcast and it's a doozie. Brad Schlachter spent 15 years building growth and retention systems at Disney, MLB, Hallmark+, MotorTrend+, and Konami explains how he achieved 104% user growth and 40% churn reduction at the same company, at the same damn time.

Three things he covers in this episode of Lightning Speed:
1. His retention playbook for SaaS and subscription businesses.
2. What gaming companies figured out about emotional connection and retention that tech founders can learn from.
3. How NFL licensing partnerships work and what founders need to know going in.

The best part? Brad is succinct! No droning on or showboating, so the episode is only 15 minutes long.

Revenue Problems Solved C-suite marketing intelligence for growth-stage companies that are done playing small. Revenue Insights by Corinne Cavanaugh, Founder & Growth Advisor TLDR: You don't have a product problem. You have a story problem. Here is something I hear from founders all too often, "Our product is way better than whats out there, but we just can't seem to get traction." The product is not the problem. If your best buyer sat across from you right now, would they lean in and say...

Revenue Problems Solved C-suite marketing intelligence for growth-stage companies that are done playing small. Revenue Insights by Corinne Cavanaugh, Founder & Growth Advisor TLDR: Your agency is not your partner. They are your most expensive dependency. This is my third marketing company, and it is intentionally not an agency. When I got into marketing (via newspaper advertising) what I found was a troubling pattern, agencies charging covert fees. Businesses would allocate an advertising...

Hi Reader, The subject line of this email sounds like the start of a bad joke, I know, but hear me out. I just dropped Episode 3 of the Lightning Speed podcast and Brandon Smith's analogies both made me laugh, AND were spot on. A FinTech and SaaS marketing leader, Brandon Smith took Plainsight (a computer vision modeling tech company) from $8 million to $50 million ARR in 12 months while cutting costs. He also ran marketing through an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange while driving $130...
