EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Esben Friis-Jensen, Chief Growth Officer at UserFlow, sits down with Morgan to discuss what makes product-led growth unique and how companies can make that transition.

Based on his experience transitioning his previous firm to product-led, this discussion goes deep on the many mistakes companies make when considering a PLG go-to-market strategy.
