In the episode, Rose draws on his experience at CrownPeak, an early cloud software company, and his work with the Content Marketing Institute to explain how founders can recognize when existing assumptions about skills, buyers, demand, and business models need to be reconsidered.

"By diving into something new, in other words, not being afraid to actually change, like change everything about who I was going to be, it turned out to be the right move," Rose told DesignRush Podcast host Kia Johnson.

The episode examines five decisions founders can test inside their own companies:

• The skills founders should build around when entering unfamiliar territory
• What hiring for potential can reveal about building a team
• Why a product's strongest differentiator may not matter to buyers
• How repeated customer questions can reveal commercial opportunities
• What falling demand can tell founders about an established business model

Episode 149 is now available on YouTube and Spotify.
