Summary
Hey hey, Product Bosses! Today I’m coaching Jen, the incredible founder of Corkscrew Imports, a Canadian-based business that connects wine lovers and restaurants to underrepresented, small-batch wineries from around the world. Jen is a solo entrepreneur with a deep passion for wine and global culture—but like many of you, she’s finding herself overwhelmed, under-supported, and struggling to scale.
In this coaching session, we dig into one of the biggest roadblocks facing so many product-based business owners: becoming the bottleneck in your own success. Jen is juggling everything—sales, operations, fulfillment, and supplier relationships—and it’s slowing her down. We explore how to build a plan around her highest-value customers, implement simple systems, and eventually get her out of the day-to-day weeds so she can stay front-facing and focused on growth.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m the problem,” you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: you’re also the solution. This episode will help you shift from scattered to strategic, so you can start selling smarter, not harder.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Jacqueline Snyder, and this is the Product Boss podcast. I've helped launch and grow |
| 0:07.6 | thousands of product-based businesses, even one of my own. And over the last 20 years, |
| 0:12.6 | I've seen behind the scenes of businesses just like yours. Whether they are makers, |
| 0:17.9 | manufacturers, artists, or food and beverage businesses, I have spent |
| 0:21.6 | so many hours studying it all. I've discovered what makes them successful, what mistakes they |
| 0:27.5 | could have avoided, how did they turn their ideas into a successful business, and what are the |
| 0:33.0 | strategies that they have used to make more sales and be discovered by more customers. And this is what this show |
| 0:39.6 | is all about. Whether you're just starting out or you're looking to become a million dollar product boss, |
| 0:44.9 | I'm here to give you the permission to chase your dreams, no matter how big or small. All you need is |
| 0:51.1 | the right mindset, a little courage, strategy, and support, and you too can be |
| 0:55.8 | the next million dollar product boss. Let's do this. Oh my goodness, friends, if you are anything like me, |
| 1:03.0 | you've probably spent more time running errands than running your business. Am I right? Like everything |
| 1:07.1 | needs something. We got to run around. And I knew that this was like a major issue |
| 1:11.4 | from me back in the day, which is why I decided to get help where I could. And I decided to let |
| 1:17.1 | Instacart handle all of my grocery shopping. So I no longer had to worry about running all the errands |
| 1:22.1 | and having to run out and get more almond milk from my lachase. Rather, I was like, you know what? |
| 1:26.0 | We're just going to let Instacart handle that. So I want you to imagine skipping the store and getting back to designing, |
| 1:31.2 | packaging orders, making, or maybe actually taking a break, even a nap. Remember those? Okay, so with |
| 1:36.7 | Instacart, you can get groceries and essentials delivered in as fast as an hour so you can focus |
| 1:41.4 | on growing your business without sacrificing a meal. Plus, less |
| 1:44.2 | stress and more focus. And here's a tip. I've actually used Instacart before to order gifts from my |
| 1:48.7 | daughter's friend's birthday parties because I haven't had time to run out and get presents. And I've |
