Recently, I’ve been hooked on the Acquired podcast, where they break down the journeys of big companies through the lens of Hamilton’s Powers. Each episode is a fascinating exploration of how these companies use strategic powers like Branding, Switching Costs, and Network Economies to build enduring success. What really struck me is how these companies didn’t just stumble upon these powers—they strategically built them over time. Apple’s creation of a tightly integrated ecosystem is a classic example of how switching costs keep customers within their ecosystem. It’s made me think deeply about how these concepts can be applied to any business, regardless of size. Listening to this podcast has been a reminder that strategy is not static. It’s an ongoing process of identifying, building, and defending your "power" in the market. I highly recommend giving the Acquired podcast a listen. #Strategy #AcquiredPodcast #BusinessGrowth #SwitchingCosts #Branding #Leadership

I remember in our first podcast episode, Yurii Lazaruk said that community is the GLUE that holds everything together. A well-built and well-enabled community can connect all departments within a company to its users, driving their goals forward. The key here is effective cross-functional collaboration, aligning business goals with the community's efforts to achieve them. This is a key for long term community success and support on leadership level. In our new podcast episode, cross-functional collaboration is one of the key topics Max Rothery discusses with us. Max shares his approach to integrating community efforts seamlessly with sales, product, and marketing teams to boost overall performance and revenue. He also talks about getting buy-in and strategies for gaining executive support by demonstrating the tangible value that community initiatives bring to the table. And how understanding and aligning with the goals of different teams can transform community building from a "soft" activity into a critical driver of business success. Excited to share our latest episode of the Community Unlocked podcast with the incredible Max Rothery, VP of Community at Finimize! 🎧 Tune in to gain actionable insights on leveraging empathy to build, launch, and grow your community, and drive success across your organization!
