E12: Is It Luck? Secrets to building successful features and products. Surviving Spring Break.

Why do some features succeed while others flop? In this episode, we unpack what makes a product or feature truly successful—and it’s not just luck.

We share practical frameworks for identifying high-impact problems, validating solutions, and minimizing risk. Plus, in our SaaSy Moms segment, we talk about baby sleep regression, why spring break feels like a full-time job for parents, and how to survive summer with a career and kids 🙃
