With content getting cheaper and noise getting higher, which parts of the old playbooks still hold up, and which ones break?

Marketing-led growth keeps getting pricier, and “more content” is no longer a moat. So you end up staring at the same fork in the road Stijn calls out here, keep leaning on sales, or let the product do more of the heavy lifting. 

In this episode, Kalungi founder Stijn Hendrikse sits down with Wes Bush (author of Product-Led Growth) to talk about where product-led growth and sales-led growth actually meet, and why most B2B teams land in the middle. 

You’ll hear what “try before you buy” really means in 2026 (and what happens when you don’t offer it), how to think about getting users to value fast, and where friction still belongs.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• You cannot skip the MVP stage in SaaS.
• Product-market fit definitions have evolved over time.
• AI is accelerating the achievement of product-market fit.
• Understanding your business model is crucial for growth.
