In this short monologue, the speaker describes the primary challenge their company faced: deciding to shift its target audience. Initially focused on a single, founder‑centric audience, they identified a more suitable market segment that aligned better with business goals. Embracing the move beyond the founder’s experience, they pursued the new audience, which directly resulted in doubling the company’s revenue and uncovering novel ways to sell the same product.
