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.
