If there’s a record for the most analogies used in a podcast, this one might break it.

Eric Caron, Senior Director of Digital Experience at Caribou Coffee, and Tim Bornholdt of The Jed Mahonis Group use their analogy-making skills to break down how startup mentality works in corporate settings, why non-technical people should care about APIs, and how there’s value, not shame, in retiring legacy apps.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why anyone can be a startup


• Why companies should view their digital assets the same way as their physical assets


• How to walk the line between different customer needs


• Why APIs are vital in the digital space


• The importance of security and thorough documentation in API product management


• Why apps should spark joy


• The ripple effects of legacy code

This episode is brought to you by The Jed Mahonis Group, where we make sense of mobile app development with our non-technical approach to building custom mobile software solutions. Learn more at https://jmg.mn.
