Do you really know what your clients want, or are you assuming?
Our guest today is Katie Tucker, author of the newly released market research book for small business called Do Penguins Eat Peaches? Katie’s brilliant writing and practical tips make a dry subject feel interesting and manageable – a great plus for ADHD and other neurodivergent entrepreneurs!
Katie’s mission is to save you from your own assumptions, and help you find the real gold in your audience, through customer conversations.
Before you build your next offer or make your next product: STOP!! Listen to today’s episode about market research and why it’s an absolute must for all small businesses.

- How to ask good questions
- How interviewing your ideal clients builds loyal client relationships
- The power of “good enough” research (helpful for founders with ADHD)
