Sounds Good.

Business EN ↓ 7 episodes

Sounds Good is a podcast where I ask the questions you actually wanted answered. I am Anna Nadeina, and I talk to founders and operators about the playbooks, growth hacks, and frameworks the internet swears by — and whether any of it actually worked. Expect real numbers, honest post-mortems, and the occasional confession that the thing everyone recommended was a waste of six months. Topics: SaaS growth, bootstrapped and VC-backed startups, product-led growth, sales-led growth, founder-led marketing, exits and M&A, remote teams, AI tools, indie hackers, building on the internet. A little about...

You don't need to go shopping ever again — Felix Hoffmann @ 7Learnings 07.07.2026 55:06

Felix Hoffmann has been inside Zalando's pricing engine. Now he's building the tools retail brands need to survive the AI. We talked about what agentic shopping looks like these days, why European platforms are dangerously slow to react, and why asking "how do I use ChatGPT in my company" is completely the wrong question. In this episode: - Why 30–50% of online purchases already start with an AI c...

Your AI product needs an accountability layer — Sai Dhanak @ deduction.com 30.06.2026 55:58

Most AI companies make big claims. Sai built a guarantee into the business model. Sai Dhanak is the founder of Deduction, an AI tax firm that pairs licensed CPAs with AI agents to deliver tax advice, planning, and filing for US consumers — at a fraction of traditional accountant prices. We talked about what happens when accountability is actually on the line, why services that were "unscalable" ar...

Stop the slop. Here's how to do founder-led content — Finn Thormeier @ Project 33 23.06.2026 1:02:25

Good content still wins. Finn Thormeier has spent years building LinkedIn presence for B2B executives and he's got a genuinely uncomfortable take on why most of it fails — and it's not the algorithm. Finn runs Project 33, an executive LinkedIn agency working with B2B founders and C-suite leaders to turn their actual opinions into content that moves pipeline. He's obsessed with the gap between what...

Bootstrapping in an over-funded market — Antoine Minoux @ Fernand 16.06.2026 54:39

What happens to bootstrapped SaaS when AI levels the playing field — and VC money controls distribution? Antoine Minoux, serial founder and builder of Fernand (a customer support tool for founders doing their own support), gets real about what's actually broken right now: UI as a moat is dead, cold email is harder than it looks, and "distribution is king" is not just a cliché anymore — it's existe...

Why the Best product doesn't win anymore — Joseph Lee @ Supademo 09.06.2026 45:37

Your product isn't defensible because it's hard to build. The tough news: you're in trouble. Joe Lee, founder of Super (200,000+ users, growing without a sales team), joins Sounds Good to dismantle the idea that technical complexity is a moat. We get into why distribution and brand eminence are what's left, why "we're just watching AI" stance might have been the smartest move of the year, and why...

Don't start SaaS right now — Mike Hill @ Curator.io 02.06.2026 53:35

Sounds Good Podcast #1 — Mike Hill on whether bootstrapped SaaS is still worth starting in 2026. His advice to anyone asking him right now: don't. Not because SaaS is dying. He doesn't buy that — neither do I. But the gap between building a product (easier than ever) and getting your first SaaS customer (harder than ever) got pretty broken. Mike Hill is a serial bootstrapper. His newest thing is S...

I've clicked on those links. And hey, fair enough, some of those did work. And some sent m...
