In this episode, Chase and Mason discuss some of the biggest Ls they’ve taken as business owners, and the steps they took to turn their setbacks into comebacks.
They also share their best advice for building killer products, which includes actively listening to customer feedback and finding new ways to take off your “expert hat” and look at your work through the eyes of a beginner.
They wrap up the conversation by talking about a new project Mason’s working on, and how much he’s enjoyed going from being the master to being the student all over again.
Tune in if you want to hear a few anti-success stories and drop a comment with the book you think the boys should use to kick off the Dimond Download book club.
"I remember a period of time where I thought, 'Oh man, this isn't all that it was chalked up to be.' We were counting on this money, and it just didn't come. Those early days were brutal."
– Chase Dimond
