With nearly two decades of experience in digital strategy and product management, Kate shares her insights on bridging internal silos, leveraging customer insights, and designing omnichannel experiences that truly resonate.

Kate breaks down the difference and how to shift toward true integration. ✅ Anthropologie’s Success Story: Learn how this brand seamlessly blended physical and digital experiences to create a memorable, data-driven customer journey. ✅ User Feedback is the Secret Weapon: Discover how continuous user testing—before, during, and after a launch—helps brands fine-tune their strategies and avoid costly mistakes. ✅ Aligning Teams for Success: Cross-functional collaboration is critical. Kate shares tips on breaking down silos between marketing, product, and development teams. ✅ Emerging Tech & Omnichannel: Instead of chasing the latest tech trends, Kate advises businesses to define their strategic goals first—then leverage AI, AR, and other innovations to enhance the customer experience. Quotes from the Episode: 💬 "Omnichannel isn’t just about being everywhere; it’s about creating seamless bridges between every touchpoint a customer interacts with." – Kate MacCabe 💬 "Companies that truly listen to their users—through qualitative and quantitative insights—are the ones that thrive in today’s competitive landscape." – Kate MacCabe Resources & Links: 🔗 Learn more about Flywheel Strategy 🔗 Connect with Kate MacCabe on LinkedIn 🔗 Explore UserTesting for customer insights for marketers…

447: Pain, Patience, and Progress: Entrepreneur Lessons from My Healing Journey 13:34

for 2 dager siden13:34

13:34

Hello Misfit Nation! Welcome to another episode of The Misfit Entrepreneur. Before I jump in, if your new to this watching the show on YouTube, hit the subscribe button below, give this video a like and comment as well; we do our best to respond to all comments as timely as possible. Yes, I’m back. It’s been a couple of weeks since I released a new episode, and today’s show is a little different—but maybe one of the most important I’ve ever done. Why? Because over the last five weeks, I’ve been on a journey—a journey of healing, of physical and mental challenge, of patience, and of rediscovery. And I want to share some of the incredible lessons I’ve learned along the way. You may or may not know, I had a pretty major setback with my back. A disc extrusion at L3-L4 compressed a nerve and literally made it so I couldn’t stand, walk, or sleep without pain. I went from top-tier Ironman athlete—training 15 to 20 hours a week—to someone who couldn’t even put on socks without pain shooting down my leg. And I want to be honest—it was humbling. It shook me. But in that experience, I found a deeper level of discipline, resilience, and focus than I’ve ever tapped into before. And that’s what I want to talk about today. Because the lessons I’ve learned in healing my body translate perfectly to building a business, growing a team, and leading in life.

446: The Stride Philosophy, How Small Actions Create Big Success & Unlock High Performance with JJ Harling 46:46

for 17 dager siden46:46

46:46

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Josiah "JJ" Hartling. If you’ve ever wanted to understand the mindset and strategy behind sustained high performance, JJ is the guy to learn from. He is the author of Stride and the founder of Compel Global, where he helps leaders and organizations harness their full potential through intentional action and discipline. But what really caught my attention is JJ’s philosophy on the power of relentless momentum. In Stride, he talks about how small, consistent actions—taken daily—are what separate the extraordinary from the average. He shares how elite performers don’t just wait for inspiration; they create it through habits and systems that keep them moving forward, no matter the obstacles. As he puts it, “Success isn’t about speed—it’s about stride. The right rhythm, maintained over time, beats raw talent every time.” That quote alone got me fired up to have him on the show.

445: Lessons for Hannah - Battling Through Setbacks 12:45

for 24 dager siden12:45

12:45

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives. Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com . We’d love to share it. To see the full show notes and Misfit 3 for this episode, go to www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com .

444: How to Build Your Personal Operating System for Success 15:01

for 4 weeks siden15:01

15:01

Welcome to another solo edition of the Misfit Entrepreneur! I want to talk about something that I’ve mentioned a number of times on the show, but most people overlook—and that’s sitting down to ask themselves, “What do I truly want?” I’ve had more people reaching out asking me for my thoughts on how they better design their life and find true meaning and purpose. I think people are starting to realize that too often, we chase results without really knowing our own core values. And if you’re not clear on what you believe in, you’re not going to get what you want. So, in this episode, we are going to dive deep into how building your very own “personal operating system” can change your life. We’ll look at why knowing your core principles matters, how I built mine, and I’ll give you a simple five-step process to do this for yourself.

for 5 weeks siden57:44

57:44

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Dave Rosenberg. If you have ever wanted know what it means to be radically accountable, Dave is the guy to learn from. He is a former F-14 naval officer (think Top Gun) who founded Locked On Leadership, a premier leadership development firm who has worked with well over 100 organizations helping them to learn what it means to lead and build high performing teams. If that is not enough, he is also a multiple black belt across several martial art disciplines. One thing that really cause my attention was that during his time in the military, Dave had a lot of leadership roles, but in one role he spent over 100 days leading a team of sailors during preparations for Desert Storm. As he says, “That was one of the most intense leadership experiences of my life. Morale was a constant challenge, and I quickly learned that motivation wears off, but inspiration lasts. The right words at the right time made all the difference in keeping my team focused, engaged, and mission-ready.” It was this quote that really peaked my interest to have him on the show. www.LockedOnLeadership.com To see the full show notes and Misfit 3 for this episode, go to www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com .
