   Turning Co-Creation & Healthy Tension Into New Growth

   Regan and Marcus Daniels, Founding Partner and CEO of Highline Beta, dig into why co-creation is no longer a collaboration tactic—but a structural response to how growth itself is changing. They explore how learning velocity outperforms capital efficiency, why misaligned mandates kill momentum, and how designing for shared loss, not just upside, determines whether companies can expand beyond the core. Key Takeaways - Why co-creation only works when it’s treated as a capital decision—not a project. - How designing healthy tension between partners creates equilibrium and forward motion. - Why a third space is essential to rebalance power and build trust.

   Regan and Jess Schram, Partner at Remedy Product Studio, dive into why founders love to believe that good technology sells itself—and why that belief rarely holds true.

Key Takeaways - The importance of iterating with customers in the loop. - How testing for pull reveals switching barriers, user behavior, and adoption friction. - Why execution—not ideation—is the differentiator between traction and scale. - How founders need to recognize when they’re the bottleneck to growth.

Ep. 003: Taking A Preventative Approach To The Future

Published 2 Apr 2024 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So pleasure to be here with you today, excited to have this dialogue and thank you for your kind words. Likewise, likewise.
