The tables are turned as Pete takes the hot seat and answers burning questions from listeners and live chat participants, with Producer Chris Stone stepping in as the host. This episode is packed with industry wisdom, lively audience engagement, and candid stories from Pete's decades-long journey in the mattress world.
Get ready for a masterclass in retail, marketing, and business mindset as Pete reveals personal insights - from the mattress he sleeps on to the trends shaping the future of the industry. You'll hear his honest takes on the elusive low-end customer, the latest innovations like split head mattresses, and why forming genuine connections can be more important than the nuts and bolts of what you sell. Plus, Pete and Chris dive deep into the power of building a thriving tribe, the lessons learned from past product flops, and the essential books every ambitious business owner should read.
