The roast
Richard, you claim to be a builder with three exits, but your entire career trajectory suggests your real talent is just finding new ways to avoid ever having to actually work for someone else. You say you’re here to share insights on leadership, but with 29 posts in a month, you're clearly just the guy who talks about the gym more than he actually lifts.
About Richard
I’m a builder at heart, with five startups and three exits under my belt. My passion lies at the intersection of product, marketing, sales, and data - so you’ll often hear me talking about product marketing. My entrepreneurial journey has taught me the value of resilience, innovation, and questioning the crowd rather than following it. Most importantly, it’s shown me the power of community. 👉 Why I share on LinkedIn: I believe in collective learning: I want to provide tried and tested insights to help you navigate your career, whether you're a founder, marketer, or looking to learn something new. 👉 What I talk about: 1️⃣ Building bootstrapped companies Why go-to-market efficiencies are a non-negotiable 2️⃣ How to spot and nurture talent Strategies for building high-performing and efficient teams 3️⃣ Product marketing - why won’t I shut up about it? How effective product marketing drives business success. 4️⃣ Operational excellence + a great culture. It is possible. The nuts and bolts of business operations and fostering a winning culture. 5️⃣ What does leadership really mean? The changing expectations of what it means to be a “boss.” Go ahead and hit the follow button, and I’ll see you around!

Here's a quick summary of his brilliant talk at the PMM Summit in Toronto on how PMMs should approach prioritization. AKA...

When everything is a priority, output drops, delivery becomes inconsistent, internal trust erodes, and burnout follows.

TBWA was the agency leading most of Apple's advertising at the time wanted the entire 30 seconds dedicated to ONE key feature. Steve jobs was like nah.

Throwback Thursday launch My fav from Figma B2B needs way more of this And by this I mean... Funny b2b launch skits The generational handover is basically done according to new data from Forrester research. Almost 65% of business buyers at manager level and above are now Millennials or Gen Z. Not convinced? LinkedIn's latest b2b buyer report has millennials accounting for 73% of all B2B buyers and 44% of final purchase decision makers. Even on larger enterprise style $1M+ deals, 67% of the buying group comes from these two cohorts. See my point now? These are the people raised on a
