On this week’s show, JDM and Cameron are joined by guest co-host Spencer Bardsley, serial entrepreneur and founder of Shared Vision, for a deep dive into the why, what, and how of testing and experimentation — and Spencer shares a vulnerable story of nearly losing it all, and how testing could have prevented it.
Shared Vision is a software tool that helps content creators and influencers manage the products they recommend in order to maximise their affiliate revenue.

On today’s show:
Why is testing important?
How do we cultivate a culture of experimentation?
How do you go about the process of testing? How do you design experiments? What are the kinds of tests a founder can run?
What do you do with the data you get back from experiments?
How do you know when it’s time to pivot or persevere?
And more!
Frivolous thoughts
Cameron talks about fear of failure, and how he stretched himself to compete in a triathlon.
Spencer shared his feelings on the growth of AI, and what workers need to do to prepare themselvs.
And JDM ranted about the latest season of The Mandalorian (no spoilers): “It's like Task Rabbit, but in the Star Wars universe.”
