Many founders think their product's success can be measured in downloads or revenue.

But here's the truth: those are business outcomes, not product goals.

In this encore episode, Sophia breaks down the one success metric that every non-technical founder must understand before leading a tech team or pitching investors.

By the end, you'll know how to lead with clarity, ask sharper questions, and track the metric that matters most — without writing a single line of code.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The one metric that separates product success from business success
• Why Airbnb's "nights booked" and Facebook's "daily active users" tell investors everything they need to know
• The mistake most non-technical founders make when they tell teams to "make more money"
• How to connect product goals to business results without confusing your developers
