The Product Entrepreneur Podcast
People often ask me: ““What’s the #1 thing that allows product-based entrepreneurs to make that leap from bootstrapped and broke to cash flow positive?" My answer is always the same: Learning how to grow their revenue with scientific precision. So why is it so hard to cross that profit-bridge and start seeing momentum in your cash flow? The answer is simple. You can’t build a brand entirely on intuition and gut-feel. You need to know your numbers. I’ve worked with local start-ups and massive corporate brands like Dove, L’Oreal, Chobani, and Lays. And now, I’m sharing that same magic with you! Tune in to learn how data-driven brand obsession is your ticket to new heights in your business (and your sales!) You’ll hear a mix of my handpicked guest experts, live consulting calls, and my everyday musings based on my many years in the biz. Learn from my mistakes, celebrate my clients’ successes, and get excited for what comes next. The best is yet to come!

Whether you’re a full-face glam type or a natural face girlie, you probably already know one of the most important (and hard to perfect) steps of the makeup routine:
Your foundation.
I was struggling with this myself this past year. My usual go-to—the Fenty Sheer Glow foundation—just never really agreed with my skin, no matter what I tried. It looks so bomb on other people, but on me, it jus...
Picture this:
You’ve poured hundreds (if not THOUSANDS) of hours into designing the perfect product.
You know it works. You went through dozens of prototypes to iron out every single kink. It addresses a particular problem and makes things 10X easier. Heck, you use it yourself!
People should love this.
And yet…it’s not flying off the shelves.
Lots of ...
Could you use more money?
Maybe the answer to that is obvious. As entrepreneurs, we’re always asking ourselves where we can get funding.
Funding gives us the chance to pour ourselves into our business. It gives us opportunities to grow our product lines, our inventories, and our marketing outreach. It gives us peace of mind as we use our time for our families, our projects, and our brand.
<...If you’re looking back on the last three months of 2024 and still feeling lost, then today’s message is for you!
A long, long time ago (aka December 2023), I found myself wistfully thinking ahead to what 2024 might have in store. (Not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty good at nailing down trends!)
Now, I’ve gotten to see some of those trends in action, and I’m bringing my results straight to...
As we head into Q2, you may be pouring over the bills on the table with a heavy heart.
It probably feels like there’s not enough to work with—too little in the bank, too many expenses popping up, and no room to breathe in between.
You may have even seen your sales plateau, despite doing EVERYTHING right. You’re showing up, you’re putting in the work, and yet, your sales aren’t matching your ...
Picture this:
You’re doing all the right things. Your content is getting clicks, your sales are trickling in. Things are finally starting to move in the right direction.
In fact, things are almost going too well. As the CEO, you are the one responsible for everything. The planning, the marketing, the writing, the accounting. Everything.
And you are tired.
So what ...
A lot of us left 2023 feeling heavy.
Not only have we been chin-deep in our business, but other things have gone to the wayside. We’re losing hair, losing sleep, and ultimately just losing our spark.
2024 can be different. It has to be different.
In this week’s special podcast episode, we’re talking to the lovely Maraya Brown, founder and CEO of the Women’s Vibrancy Code, to di...
If you’re bracing for poor sales in Quarter 1 this year, then I need to tell you:
Inevitably low Q1 sales are a myth.
“But Maureen,” I hear you say, “everyone says that Q1 sales are always low. My market is dead right now!”
Trust me, I’ve been there. Q4 is full of a lot of highs (thanks, Black Friday + Cyber Monday), so we’re used to seeing things cool off a bit right after.
Growing up, Robin’s mother always told her to “take what I have and make it bigger”.
First, she put that advice to work 15 years ago by getting serious about nutrition.
She went from being prediabetic, overweight, and clueless about nutrition to fully discovering just how powerful food was—and making it her life’s mission to reach others how to use food and nutrition to build their bodies fo...
Your follower count on social media is climbing.
Your site is getting hits.
Likes, comments, and shares are rolling in.
And yet, no matter how good those numbers are, they’re not turning into conversions.
Attention is great, but it can’t pay your bills.
You need sales. And now, I’m here to tell you how to get them!
In this week’s podcast e...
So many entrepreneurs get scared of looking at their numbers. It’s frustrating, it’s disheartening, and it can even be paralyzing.
If this sounds like you, then I have to ask you: .
What if you could get excited to look at your numbers every month—BEFORE those major sales start to come in?
What if looking at your numbers could feel you with hope, energy, and excitement?
Have you ever tried to make friends as an adult?
It kind of sucks!
Things just seemed so much easier as a fourth grader. You shared your juice box, told each other your favorite animal (unicorns, duh) and then BAM, you were bonded for life.
When did things get so complicated?
It’s hard enough to make connections in your personal life, but the stakes are ramped up eve...

✨ FREE TRAINING:
I often get asked, Maureen, why do I feel like I will never get there? Why does this feel so hard?
My answer tends to be:
Most product based business owners struggle to succeed because they start with a bloated product assortment and a confusing brand message.
This then creates a lot of complexity in the initial stages making it impossible to quickly take off at the rate the CEO desires.
It is important to recognize...
Are you stuck in a strategy slump that doesn’t seem to be paying off?
I’m not even talking about a FAILING strategy. At least then we can see what’s working and what’s not.
The worst thing that can happen is if nothing happens. Because then, we’re not even getting any feedback after putting in all this effort.
Plateaus SUCK. And unfortunately, they’re also inevitable.
