When it comes to product positioning, clarity isn’t just a communication tool—it’s a strategic advantage. In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Pierri, co-founder of FletchPMM, a product marketing consultancy that’s helped over 400 B2B software startups discover and sharpen their positioning.

Anthony brings practical frameworks, real-world stories, and a refreshing candor to a space that’s often muddled with jargon. This is a must-listen for any founder, PMM, or GTM leader tired of being misunderstood—and ready to focus.
