005: Vibes are really sh1t data - how to launch debrief properly
Okay, your launch is over and now you're sitting there wondering… was that good? was it shit? Should you be thrilled or mildly panicking? Hard to tell when Instagram is full of "six-figure launch!!" screenshots that may or may not be real, may or may not include refunds, may or may not include their entire business revenue for the month. Meanwhile, your actual data is sitting right there trying to talk to you, but you're too busy comparing yourself to someone else's curated highlight reel.
In this episode, I break down why traditional launch debriefs are basically useless, why screenshot culture is fucking up your ability to assess your own success, and what you should be tracking instead. I walk you through the six metrics that actually matter, how to diagnose what really happened in your launch, and why a 12K launch can be more successful than a 40K one depending on what's behind the numbers. We're ditching vibes-based assessments and finally grounding your launches in real, meaningful data.
