Episode notes
Let Impressions Reveal Product Problems
- Data reveals where products fail: impressions, clicks, and conversions tell the real story.
- Use analytics first to diagnose issues before discounting or changing product strategy.
Use AI To Augment, Not Replace Intuition
- Use AI to speed optimization and generate variations, but keep human intuition in decision-making.
- Test with AI, then apply marketer experience and gut feeling to interpret results.
Empty The Vessel To Hear Intuition
- Intuition connects to a deeper inner voice and requires humility and quiet to hear.
- Pinny recommends emptying the vessel: reduce social scroll and meditate to access better business decisions.
