Peter Messana publicou istoExcited to see Fast Simon launch their new AI Personalization for Merchandisers today! 🚀 I've been advising Zohar Gilad and team and I’m impressed by how practical and powerful this launch is. I've been in the search and merchandising tech space since 2016, this is truly game changing. Built on real merchandising data, deep DTC expertise, and purpose-built AI. It optimizes shopper experiences in real time, boosts revenue/conversion, and cuts manual work. No hype, just measurable results from live A/B testing. Well done, team! 👏

Peter Messana publicou istoLast week I posted about building a full blown menopause app, the response was, umm, maybe alarming and yet comforting. First, I was surprised by how many people commented or reached out directly, mostly women struggling. Secondly, the alarming part was just how many women are suffering and while I know there are tons of apps like mine, many had never used one before. Over the last week, I shipped 7 version updates consisting of 22 full-fledged changes to the app, the feedback has been tremendous for improvement. This is the true power of LinkedIn, I now have over 50 users and more than a handful are providing real feedback that has allowed me to push real updates. I am still on the fence whether this is a hobby or a business. Certainly, one could make it a full business, but I didn't start it to be that so we will see where the wind blows. In the meantime, thank you everyone who installed it, especially those who provided feedback. (I will drop the link in the comments, this post wasn't to gain more, just an appreciation, but I know the first question will be "What is the App?" and the second will be "Where can I find it?" - spoiler to men, it is a menopause app.)

Peter Messana publicou istoMenopause. A topic I never thought I would immense myself on and surely not one I would be posting on LinkedIn. But here we are and this is a doozy. To keep this briefer than it could be, my wife is suffering from perimenopause. During a doctor visit the doctor told her to see a Nutritionist. Being a supportive husband I said "whatever you need, do it". But then it hit me, a nutritionist is a single person with the knowledge of their experience, AI can pool all the knowledge out there and derive better solutions or aids and I told my wife "no, no nutritionist". Then I built her MenoGlow, a full weight, symptoms, eating, exercise, sleep, hydration, and medication tracker app WITH a nutritionist AI coach built in. So, I'd love a few more people testing it out and letting me know what they think, link to the App Store in the comments, Android coming any day, just waiting for Play Store approval. So, if any ladies are inclined, it is free and you don't need to be in menopause, if you answer "no" it will be just a cool fitness and tracker app. Men, move along and _never_ attempt to discuss this topic unless asked, and even then, tread lightly. 🤣

Peter Messana compartilhou issoWhen does work become fun again? 🤔 This was the text I received this morning. My answer: The problem with your current situation is poor PMF (Product Market Fit) which is why you are gaining no traction. Compare that situation to riding a stationary bike at the gym or in your house versus cruising the countryside on a bike. One is not fun, the other is a blast. So, to make it fun, join a company peddling the countryside, not one on a stationary bike.

Peter Messana publicou istoRecruiters, it's a wild time and world out there! Legitimate recruiters are getting drowned out by the fake ones. This came to me because the other day someone talked about the "open to work" and how it exposes scammers. It doesn't stop there and it isn't limited to entry-level or low-level roles. this week alone I have gotten four *unique* outreaches. 1) Tell me I applied to a position that is now filled, then tell me I can hire them to place me (pretty sure I did not apply to anything) 2) Tell me I applied and my resume wasn't attached, then ask me to resend it. (again, pretty sure I did not apply to anything) 3) Ask me for my WhatsApp number to discuss next steps (spoiler, the next steps is to ask for money to get more details) 4) A scam recruiter impersonating a real one, stealing a LinkedIn profile picture and using a fake gmail address (I have no clue where this leads, I wasn't in the mood to find out but I've received three of these this week) Job seekers, keep alert and I feel for you. *Legit* recruiters, I also feel for you. Receipts in the comments, wild times with AI's able to do this all too easily.

Peter Messana publicou istoMe: "you need to hire a new CFO" CEO: "no, we are fine and ____ is good enough for now" .....6 months later..... CEO: "I wanted your opinion, I think we should uplevel our CFO, do you agree?" Consulting and advising is wild. You often lay out a great idea, get it shot down, then months later your ear is getting bent over *their* great idea. You count the win and accept the path, no matter how inefficient it really was.

Peter Messana publicou istoCoaching / Advising / Mentoring. I started a side gig to help other CEO and leaders. What I didn't realize was how fun it would be and now I am looking to expand it further. So far I am working with two CEOs, one CMO, and a VP of Sales. What I thought was me sharing my experiences and knowledge has turned into me learning a ton along the way while we solve their issue(s). So, in a way to continue to learn more I wanted to extend an invite to a max of 3 more leaders. Fully FREE, one hour to discuss any topic of your choosing with no further commitment or even a pitch to pay me later. 100% free. If you are a leader and want to bounce an idea or problem you have, I am here. Other topics I love to discuss: - How to lead a company using a complete Operating System - How to quarterly plan and ditch QBRs - How to measure teams - How to hire A-players - General culture topics If you are interested the booking, the link is in the comments.

Peter Messana publicou istoIf you're a recruiter and recruiting a c-level position, especially a CEO level, remember this: You aren't just recruiting me, you are basically auditioning yourself for future services. When you don't follow up, it's noticed. When you flat out ghost, it's more than noticed. When you communicate actively, and even coach, you are enriching the future of a possible placement. Far too many recruiters think they work for the PE firm wanting the placement, that is true in the sense they are footing the bill. But, you had better have the CEO (or other c-level) on your side for the future placements.

Peter Messana compartilhou issoCoincidence or pure brilliance? With March Madness happening, either High Point University pulled off the greatest parlay or some pure luck. I had never heard of them, nor had my daughter, a Junior in high school. But with them in the NCAA tournament, I was now aware they existed. And then yesterday a postcard arrived inviting her to check them out. If this was orchestrated by their marketing team, this is pure brilliance and made us both check it out. If not, maybe the luck of the Irish on St. Patty week.🍀 🤷♂️
