Smart Bear's YouTube channel: business fundamentals over AI hype
martyamark · x · 2026-11-09
The author recommends Jason Cohen's @asmartbear YouTube channel as a breath of fresh air against AI hype/doom content: each episode works through real growth problems with founders, offering practical advice instead of grind-culture clichés.
The core method is deceptively simple: talk to your customers, figure out who they are and why they buy, then find more of them and solve their problem.
Example episode: Ruben Gamez on restarting SaaS growth after a plateau — Michael Koper's proposal software Nusii has been flat at $10k/month for years.
