Neil Patel just flipped everything you know about startups upside down. He says product-market fit is overrated, giving away your software for free can make you rich, and the real secret to scaling isn’t charging customers—it’s monetizing the leads your free product generates.

Neil breaks down his playbook on how startups can leverage free products to grow exponentially, why your churn doesn’t matter if you monetize correctly, and the reality about brand building that most founders completely miss. This episode challenges conventional startup wisdom and reveals a totally different way to think about building billion-dollar businesses.

  • Why Neil Patel thinks chasing product-market fit is a waste of your time.
  • How offering your software for free can create a viral growth engine.
  • How to monetize without charging for your product.
  • Why branding matters, but why you’ll have to wait 10 years to feel it.
