#1542 The business behind hosting companies


Listen Later

Today’s guest is an entrepreneur who had a hosting company. They had a challenge with hosting videos on their site and they thought, “Let’s create a product that solves it.”
And they did. And then it failed. But then they kept talking to their customers and understanding the real pain, understanding the bigger issue.
They now have a video hosting and monetization platform that is doing phenomenally well. I invited the founder, PJ Taei, to talk about how he launched Uscreen.tv. He’s made it into a business that just keeps growing revenue and I want to learn how this process works of understanding customers.
He told our producer he’s so freaking obsessed with talking to customers he spent two years doing it. I want to know how he gets them on the phone, how you can understand what your customers are going through and I want to know how we can build better businesses that actually address people’s needs, their deep, deep needs.

PJ Taei is the founder of Uscreen, a video hosting and monetization platform.
