More features don’t mean more success—in fact, they usually mean the opposite.

Founders think they’re adding value, but what they’re really doing is burying usability, draining budgets, and confusing users. When your product tries to do everything, it ends up doing nothing well.

In this episode, hosts Vince O’Gorman (Founder, Nexxt Ideas), Brady MacDonald (Chief of Sales, Nexxt Ideas), and Christa Hill (Co-Founder, Tacit Edge) unpack the deadly impact of feature creep. You’ll hear stories of overbuilt products that faceplanted—and how stripping them back led to real traction. Because simplicity isn’t just good design—it’s your edge.

You’ll walk away knowing how to cut the clutter, focus on what matters, and stop letting “nice to have” features wreck your launch.

In This Episode:

• Why overengineering kills usability—and how to avoid it
• How to recognize when your product is trying to do too much
• What happens when teams chase features instead of solving problems
• Stories of bloated builds that got turned around (and why they finally worked)
• How simplicity creates speed, focus, and actual market success
