This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Conversation with Podia Senior Growth Marketer Marc Thomas about how to de-risk trying new, more innovative marketing strategies. Traditional marketing playbooks are falling short in the SaaS world, but while many marketers privately acknowledge the ineffectiveness of these playbooks, they are still hesitant to discuss it publicly. Far too often, too much time is spent implementing copy-and-paste versions of existing marketing playbooks, and not enough time is spent on creating new playbooks that are unique to your company and fueled by research that makes you stand out. Analytics and attribution are becoming harder and harder. It’s easy to look at competition and do the same thing they’ve done, but then you’re always playing catchup. Large companies are eating up the majority of the consideration data set, with high intent, in traditional channels. The landscape is getting more and more crowded, and great marketing is really hard and takes time. Plus, while many marketing leaders have the career stability and influencer clout to try risky things without risking their jobs, the people at the bottom who are actually doing the work don’t have that advantage — and they’re the ones who are often held responsible for metrics and success numbers. So how do marketers break out of the cycle of always sticking to the safest playbooks when if they aren’t working as well as they used to? In this episode of Growth Stage, Fred Linfjärd interviews Podia Senior Growth Marketer Marc Thomas about: Why not enough marketers are talking about the failure of the same old playbooks. Why it’s become so hard to market (and measure marketing efforts) for software and SaaS products. Marc’s RINse and Repeat framework that helps marketers Relate to customers, Ideate novel and innovative marketing strategies, and Narrate the impact of their marketing to leadership. Examples of innovative, unique marketing strategies that Marc and his team have had success with. And so much more! Transcript available on the FastSpring blog.

Conversation with Fred Linfjärd, Director of Growth at Planday, about switching from a one-time fees model to a subscription billing model. If you're selling your software, plugin, add-on, or other digital product for a one-time fee, you’re likely thinking about switching to a recurring subscription model. While the financial reasons are strong to switch to subscriptions, your path to roll out this massive change to your business is filled with peril. Will your existing users revolt to the change and switch to a new product? Will your subscriptions renew at a high enough rate to counteract a reduction in one-time sales? How do you even roll this out? In this episode of Growth Stage, we interview Fred Linfjärd of Planday about his experiences switching from a one-time billing model to subscriptions. Fred shares his thoughts on: Why digital product companies should embrace subscriptions. How to justify the switch to your customer base. Avoiding the worst of community blowback. Must-do tactics for your rollout plan. As a bonus, our host David Vogelpohl also has experience moving massively popular digital products from one-time fees to subscriptions, so this interview is full of hard-learned insights you can use to find success in your own rollout of subscriptions.

As the story goes, PLG is based on the notion that the value a product delivers and how easy it is to adopt and share will lead to self-sustaining increases in product adoption and less reliance on human intervention to get the deal done. The expected result is more new revenue at higher profits. While this can often be true, organizations have realized that in order to increase ARPU and unlock massive new channels ARR, they need to couple PLG with a sales-led growth strategy. But can Product and Sales motions work together effectively?
