S2 E1 Why Showing Up Still Beats Sending Emails | Danny Meese, Founder of Deep Deck
Send us Fan Mail What happens when sending emails gets you nowhere, but walking into a shop and actually showing people your product changes everything? In the first conversation of Season 2, Tammy sits down with Danny Meese, founder of Deep Deck , to talk about what it actually looks like to take an idea, turn it into a physical product, and figure out how to get it into people's hands. Deep Deck grew from Danny's interest in creating better conversations, but its roots go back even further, including a childhood habit of creating characters on index cards. Years later, those threads came together in a card deck designed to help people get beyond small talk and into more meaningful conversations. Danny shares what happened when he tried reaching retailers through email, and how dramatically the experience changed when he started walking into local shops and actually showing people the deck. Tammy and Danny talk about product development, face-to-face selling, customer reactions, independent retail, the appeal of tangible products in an increasingly digital world, and what you learn when you stop theorizing and put the thing you're building in front of real people. It's a conversation about building, testing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the most useful information isn't waiting in your inbox. Sometimes you have to walk through the door and show people the thing. 🎙️ Guest: Danny Meese, Founder of Deep Deck and ville.social 🌐 Surviving Main Street: survivingmainstreet.com Surviving Main Street is a conversation about what really happens while you're building something.
