Hi 👋 Product Hunt community! I’m really excited to launch my new video show with @patticus. Both of our teams worked together to create something that hasn’t been done before. We pick popular products to do research on and share everything we learn. We ran a product/market fit and net promoter score surveys and then analyze the results. This is exactly what you should be doing with your own products. We want to hear what you think of the show, watch the first episode and let us know!

@patticus @hnshah congrats! Looking forward to checking this out.

Super pumped for this video series @hnshah and @patticus! What was the thing that inspired you to launch this as a show? What was the biggest challenge to launch? (I ask mainly because I'm about to launch my own video show about prototyping with @Take1Design :) )

Hiten and Patrick - the best of both the products worlds join hands, and it is sheer delight. I am super excited to see them across the same table. PS: Patrick lives data and makes the perfect sense for how data pointers are mapped to business growth - retention, churn, traction, scaling, across industry, team size, and geographies. Hiten lives product growth from closet quarters for customer sentiments, marketability, and product strategy.

@vingar we had a blast recording these. we’ve wanted to do something together for years and this felt like the right opportunity! thanks for noticing :)
Patrick Campbell
@vingar Thanks for checking it out, man. Appreciate all your support. :)

Looking forward to the Evernote and Spotify episode. Really enjoyed the Netflix breakdown. It would be great at some point to create a simple community voting system for the next episodes?
Patrick Campbell
@thisdickie Interesting - to vote on the tradeoffs?

Been looking forward to this show! Exactly my kind of content. The player is absolute shit on mobile though :/ Hope you reconsider that choice. Very poor viewing experience
Patrick Campbell
@yannschaub noooooooooooooooo. So we have the podcast too, but let me look into what's going on with those Wistia embeds.
Ryan Hoover
👏🏼 Glad to see this out there. Can you share a list of some of the upcoming guests, @hnshah?
Hiten Shah
@rrhoover no guests unless you count the products :) We’ve got Evernote, G Suite, Dropbox, Microsoft 365, Spotify and a surprise “product” too. 8 episodes in total.
Patrick Campbell
Pumped to launch this new series with @hnshah. Bringing together data and analysis is something we're both passionate about, so we're excited to share these insights. Let us know what you all think. :)
Darren Chait
So awesome to see this come together! @hnshah and @patticus are too of the best product and pricing minds out there. Inspiring, actionable source of insight for SaaS founders like us!
Patrick Campbell
@hnshah @darren_chait Thanks, Darren. It's a lot of fun making these.

Great episode on Netflix! I'm particularly curious to watch the one on Evernote as I'm a bit torn on the platform myself. Would love to see one one Notion too!
Pranjal Daga
Love it! Would love to see a discussion on a generic market and then analysis of various products in that market. To some extent, I see "Content" being the "market" in the first episode with discussions about other products like Hulu, Disney Plus, Amzn Prime, etc. in this market. Love the vibe too! Looking forward to more "Content"!

How do I give this a go? Playing the first ep asks me for a password.
Marie Prokopets
@igoruphere We've fixed that and you should be able to see it without a password now :)
Hiten Shah
@igoruphere it’s all set now!
Igo Akulov
@hnshah Thanks guys, will check it out over the weekend and share feedback if I come up with anything valuable to say.

Big fan of Patrick and his Company for a few years now. They consistently release super interesting, insightful and fun content. No surprise here this show is dope! Hiten and Patrick make a great team and I can't wait to hear more from these two. Well done gents
Patrick Campbell
@rockwell_felder Thanks, man. It was a collaboration long in the making.
Daniel Foster
I was hoping we'd also get to hear from folks inside the company about what some of the actual tradeoffs are and how they arrived at them. Good content, just not what I was expecting based on the name.
Amy M Jones
Excited to dig in. Hiten was the one to point me to the Profitwell blog and thus, began my admiration and appreciation for y’alls content marketing. Congrats on this!
Saurabh Singh
Really enjoyed the Netflix analysis. Could we also have some healthcare companies in the future episode?
Hiten Shah
@saurabhsingh do you have any specific ones in mind?
Maeve Duffy
Listened on my commute this morning, very curious to see if Disney will short Netflix, hadn't even occurred to me that that was a possibility! Makes sense considering the scope of their content and WTP @patticus thanks for sharing the awesome insight!
Hiten Shah
@patticus @maeve_duffy1 thanks for listening!
Joshua Tabansi
Curious, how/where do you run these surveys?
Pradip Khakhar

Patrick Campbell
