Thank you for sharing Michael! This is super inspiring.
I am huge believer that focusing on your users is the path to success. But I find it really hard to make that mindset part of the company culture if people don't naturally think that way.
How do you show this to your sales and marketing colleagues? How do you stop the from pushing for new features to enter a new promising market?
I wonder if there is a way to demonstrate or even show it on a dashboard..
To answer a slightly different question: at past jobs, the tendency on product teams was to debate what products or features had "the most potential" and prioritize that way. But one missing factor in most of those debates were how many qualified leads were highly likely to use whatever we built.
I think people underrate that because that kind of work is very hard to do, despite arguably being the most important.

Hard to say with culture problems!
