I was like, oh man, how about we crack this huge problem around user onboarding — and check out this landing page I built and it could be like a real product.” And he said, "The way you light up about that, ‘that's what you're really passionate about.’”  He was like, "You should go do that." And I said, “Okay I guess you're right. I just kinda quit on the spot because I was so passionate about the problem.” In this episode you’ll learn:0:00 Introduction  1:28 What exactly is Appcues?
