Hey everyone! Thank you for listening to the podcast for 50 episodes. Today marks the finale of Season 1 and the beginning of a new season coming soon and this is the best way to kickstart Round 2. In this episode of Talking With Experts Podcast we have someone who gifted me more than his time, he gave me an opportunity to help other aspiring entrepreneurs and come join him at AppSumo. 

When I first started the podcast, it was not to find a job but to build new relationships with those in business and grow in confidence. Before I introduce my guest for today, I want to thank you for listening and for all my guests who joined me on this crazy journey. It's been a journey of self-discovery, lots of learnings, failures, successes and most importantly lots of fun too and I am deeply grateful to you. 

So today's guest is none other than Chris Schelzi the head of Growth at AppSumo, the number #1 platform 1.25M+entrepreneurs trust for everything they need to create fulfilling businesses. Chris has an impressive resume and has been working at AppSumo for more than 8 years and has previously launched a 7-figure subscription business (in under a year). He shares how he got started in the entrepreneur space, what he has achieved at AppSumo and what you can achieve by partnering with AppSumo too! 

In this episode we talk about AppSumo, the benefits of selling on AppSumo and on marketplaces in general, how to think like a doctor not a salesman and how to develop a business or career by developing successful habits and improving yourself. Enjoy! 

Top 3 Actionable Steps from Chris:
1. Think like a doctor, not a salesman. AKA diagnosing a pain is much more powerful than selling your benefits.

2. The First Five Focus Framework. Once you know your audiences deeply rooted pain and have come up hypothesis of a solution, you're one job is to get your first customers.

3. Leverage marketplaces as you're starting out to quickly validate, find customers, and get rapid feedback (we're currently running a crazy promotion - happy to share more)
