If you're like most business owners, you started out

caring deeply about your product and service, and you probably still do.

But think about early on when you're the founder.

You're the salesperson, the service provider, you're in charge of delivering,

and fulfilling, and applying the product and the service in the marketplace.

And you're just excited about helping people.

But what happens is, as you grow in scale, you get busy running the other parts of the business,

and the product or service starts to get delegated to your team.

Which is great. We love delegation.

But it can also be really scary as the founder if you look up one day,

and you feel out of touch with the marketplace.

From the Ramsey Network, this is the Entry Leadership Podcast,

where we help business leaders grow themselves, their teams, and their profits.

I'm your host, Daniel Tardy, and my guest today is Marty Kagan.

Marty is the founder of Silicon Valley Product Group,

where he's helped focus on other businesses scaling and building great products

through his writing, speaking, advising, and coaching.

Now, before founding this company, he served as an executive responsible for defining

and building products for some of the most successful companies in the world,

including Hewlett Packard, Netscape Communications, and eBay, just to name a few.

Now, you guys are going to love Marty because he cares deeply about helping business owners just like you,

and he shares your passion for great products and service.
