Transcript

In this episode of the Zero to Traction podcast, JDM and Cameron discuss the critical topic of defining milestones in early-stage startups.

They explore why milestones are essential, how they guide efforts, impact decisions, and help avoid wandering aimlessly. The guys cover actionable metrics versus vanity metrics, innovation accounting, and how to decide when to pack it up, pivot, or persevere.

Also! Cameron gives a sneak peek into the upcoming events for Global Entrepreneurship Week in Sacramento.

For frivolity, Cameron shares his shoe trouble, and JDM bemoans broken appliances. It’s more interesting than it sounds.
