What this episode covers

Tim Angel, founder of Zugu, explains how his company achieved over $30 million in annual sales by focusing exclusively on high-quality iPad cases sold via Amazon.

    Advice Line with Jim Koch of Boston Beer Company

    Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Company, joins Guy Raz to advise three founders on product-market fit and scaling. He advises Kim Jones of Tropical Vibes to build a brand story around the feeling of the tropics rather than just the founder, and to leverage direct-to-consumer channels for community building. For Lance Kessner of Millie's Sipping Broth, who is launching nationally at Walmart, Koch warns against taking expensive early-stage capital, suggesting instead that they negotiate faster payment terms with retailers to manage cash flow. Finally, he advises Amy Dana of Blay Electric to be transparent about their premium pricing and focus on customer experience to justify the cost.
