S2E1 - Victoria Young Idol, Explained

In this episode, Jeff and Mike interview Victoria Young Idol, the COO and co-founder of Outpace. Outpace is a platform designed “to provide success as a service by enabling coaches and creators to share what they know and help others level up.” We talk about experimenting, how Outpace got started, and how Victoria leverages lessons from previous go-to-market tech experiences to grow from zero to one.

[3:30] A recap of soaking in that aloha spirit when living in Hawaii & Victoria recommending the Big Island life.
[5:00] What Victoria’s founder journey look like; from her high school days selling things on eBay to joining a venture studio before co-founding Outpace. We also cover the importance of finding not just product market-fit, but founder-cofounder fit.

[10:00] Customers, Clarity, & Team. The importance of staying close to customers as a leader. Even if it’s tedious at times, it’s important to not get distracted from the main goals of your venture.

[25:00] The biggest challenges facing Outpace - from adapting to hybrid work models to helping customers overcome burnout. It’s no small task.
[29:30] Rapid fire questions & rounding out the interview! Don’t wait for someone to help you invest in yourself and take control of your own success.
