It's my 1st solo episode, y'all! And I'm breaking down one of the most overlooked growth levers founders, operators, and ecosystem builders have access to right now.

As 2026 continues to reshape how businesses grow, scale, and stay stable, many of the strategies that used to work simply don’t hit the same. Funding feels harder to access. Corporate jobs feel less reliable. And builders are being forced to make sharper decisions with fewer resources.

In this episode of the Get Sh!t Done Podcast, I'll walk you through why guessing what to build next is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make and how to get consent so you know where to unlock revenue.

This is a simple unlock I've used from years of training thousands of entrepreneurs and designing revenue-first programs with cities and economic development offices.

💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why Surveys Alone Don’t Tell the Full Story: How poorly designed surveys lead founders to solve the wrong problems and what to do instead.

• The 3 Questions That Reveal Real Revenue Opportunities: The exact questions Alex uses to uncover what customers actually want and would pay to fix.

• How to Turn Conversations Into Patterns You Can Trust: A clear framework for analyzing feedback without overthinking or forcing insights.

• How to Build With Consent, Not Vibes: Why customer feedback is the fastest way to know when to lean in, slow down, or stop forcing an idea.

• How to Translate Feedback Into a Confident Next Move: Whether that’s a pivot, an optimization, or a small test, without blowing up what’s already working.
