Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Wistia CEO, Chris Savage: Master the Art of Pivoting, How to Adapt and Grow Against the Odds | E61

Building recording tools. We have single person recording. We have group recording. We have a social clips tool so you can take long form stuff. We'll help you find clips and you can cut it down to put it on social. And then we have a webinar platform. And the way you put these things together depends on what you're trying to do. But we'll see people who they do a live event.

Their recording is instantly in their Wistia account. They edit it. We see most webinars are edited. And then they can quickly publish it from the same place or send it to an email list or make clips from it to put on social. And the whole thing is if we can cut down on that time and give you one tool, then you get much more time back, much more leverage.

The first thing I would say is be patient. This stuff takes a lot longer than you would think it does or than we're led to believe. But if you can be patient, you can find things that work and you could scale them. Your own imagination is your limiter on how far you can take stuff if you have a business that's online. The second thing I would say is pay attention to qualitative feedback.

I think whenever you're doing something new, you always get qualitative feedback first, which is people saying, I like this. I don't like this. Things getting mentioned when you're in a sales call, the things that someone tells you in person that they wouldn't have told you otherwise.

You're going to need to get really good at that because that's how you get to make decisions faster, is you get a lot of qualitative feedback and you parse it down to like, what are they really saying? So I would say really pay attention to that. And then the other thing I would say is you really want to trust your instincts.

It's so easy to think that other people have all the advice for how you should build a business because they've done something before. And the thing I've learned over and over again is that once you've started your company, You are the expert. And I think that's a really hard thing to realize. You might be day in, day out on your business. You ask someone else for advice. The advice sounds good.

You take it. It doesn't work. You're like, what's going on? And it's like, no, you maybe knew you shouldn't have taken it because you're the expert at your own business. And I think that's the thing that we all forget. We are the experts in our own business.

And that is why when you can really start to notice your own instincts, when you're building your instincts that things are working, you should actually trust them. And so that's what I would say if I could go back and do it again.

It is scary. But when you can flip to realizing you're the expert and you can trust your instincts, it is extremely exciting. And it is a hack that lets you go much faster.
