SaaS Leadership Lessons
Data alignment > keyword hacks
AI-powered tools that match intent will outperform keyword-driven guessing every time.
Validate at 80%, then iterate
You don’t need perfection—get to 80% product confidence and let the market fine-tune the rest.
Marry the brand, not the product
Successful companies adapt product lines to match evolving demand—don’t get stuck on a single idea.
Price for transformation, not features
Customers pay more when they understand the value. Price accordingly and educate your audience.
Imperfect action creates feedback loops
Launch MVPs with real users. Iterate with feedback, not in isolation.
Build to exit, but earn trust first
Systemize operations, optimize value, and serve your own company before inviting others in.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
