Guest: Rahul Vohra - CEO and founder of Superhuman. Rahul is known for his thoughtful and insightful approach to building products, having previously sold his company Rapportive to LinkedIn. Key Takeaways: Product Market Fit: Focus on a specific user segment and ignore feedback from those who don't align with your core value proposition. Use a systematic approach to measure and optimize product market fit. Manual Onboarding: Initially, manually onboard users to create super fans and build a strong brand. Transition to self-service as you scale and reach broader markets. Game Design vs. Gamification: Design products with intrinsic motivation in mind, creating fun and engaging experiences rather than relying on external rewards. Pricing Strategy: Determine pricing by understanding your product's positioning. Use methods like the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter to find a price that reflects value and supports your brand's position. AI Integration: Leverage AI to enhance product capabilities, such as auto-summarizing emails and drafting replies, while being open to unexpected user preferences. Topics Covered: Product market fit, manual onboarding, game design, pricing strategy, AI integration, enterprise sales, time management, meditation, organizational design.

“It is word of mouth. It is the virality you can't measure that isn't a mechanic that isn't in a feature.”
“Multiple low quality reasons rarely add up to a high quality reason to do something.”
