Leah is positioned to the left, April is positioned to the right. Together, they talk about positioning.

Season 2 of the Productea, product-led growth! April is an expert in positioning and she graced me with her presence to talk about it. Turns out we are quite fun together and spilling the tea with her was incredibly fun. She even managed to interrupt me at times.

“Creating a safety net for me messing up, that unlocked me”

What an incredible time and learnings she shared in her typical direct way. This episode is truly for everyone that is interested in positioning themselves or their business in any way. And everyone should.
