Launching products is no walk in the park.

But after several experiences bringing new products to market (even in highly regulated industries), we’ve picked up some valuable lessons that are paving the way for our next big success.

The entire podcast circles around:

- Navigating the complexities of launching and scaling

- Lessons learned from our own product launch “flops”

- Creative marketing in highly regulated industries

- Complexities of implementing CRO and excise tax solutions

- Black Friday/Cyber Monday preparation and how brands should be getting ready

In this episode of The ASOM Pod, Jimmy Kim (CIO and founder of Sendlane) and John Roman (CEO and co-founder of BattlBox), Amer Grozdanic (CEO & Co-Founder of Praella) and Bryan MacDonald (Director of Ecommerce at Oma’s Pride) dive deep into their journeys of launching new products.

From transitioning between vastly different industries and overcoming regulatory challenges to the ups and downs of product launches, they share invaluable lessons learned. The episode also highlights the importance of balancing speed with preparation and how sometimes just getting started can be the best strategy.

If you’re looking for genuine insights on navigating the complexities of launching and scaling a business, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-life stories.
