Not Synced
Yeah, my name is Justin Lawrence,
-
Not Synced
I'm with LBE Global and
-
Not Synced
we work to bridge the gap
-
Not Synced
between a great product and having
users show up and pay for your product.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Welcome to
Innovater Tribe: Outside the Bubble.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] A show about bridging the gap
-
Not Synced
between the inspiration of the idea to
the creation of a product.
-
Not Synced
[music]
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Ahmad, what's going on, brother?
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] What's good, Toye!
How you feeling?
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Aw man, I'm feeling really good.
-
Not Synced
I'm actually pretty excited,
-
Not Synced
I'm getting ready to head down to ATL
for my little sister's graduation.
-
Not Synced
She's graduating with her master's
on Friday.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] That's what's up man.
-
Not Synced
Shout out to the little sis.
-
Not Synced
It's always exciting to see, y'know
someone's family reaching their goals,
-
Not Synced
new heights, scholarship,
all that good stuff,
-
Not Synced
and plus I love ATL, you know.
-
Not Synced
I enjoy Georgia peaches.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Georgia...peach...
OK-OK, I like Georgia peaches, too man!
-
Not Synced
[Toye laughs]
-
Not Synced
Thanks, I'm about to try some when
I get down there.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] It's a great fruit!
It's the state fruit too, by the way.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] OK, this isn't a fruit podcast,
though.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] No, no, not it's not, so we should
change the subject.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Yeah, but I definitely do like
peaches, though.
-
Not Synced
Anyways, what's going on with you, man?
Did you secure that property yet?
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] I thought you about to say,
did I secure it back, but I did.
-
Not Synced
The property's still on the contract.
I have a contract that's coming out.
-
Not Synced
Yeah, we're trying to close May 25.
-
Not Synced
Man, I've been feeling like I've been
maturing exponentially.
-
Not Synced
Just within the time span
-
Not Synced
of getting this property
-
Not Synced
-
Not Synced
But I'm excited; it's good stress to have.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Secure the real estate.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] Secure the real estate, indeed.
-
Not Synced
Let's sound the alarm.
-
Not Synced
I like that, I like that. [laughs]
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Secure the real estate.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] But this isn't a
-
Not Synced
real estate podcast, either!
-
Not Synced
We're here to talk about one of my
-
Not Synced
dear friends, and an awesome technologist.
-
Not Synced
His name is Justin Lawrence.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Justin Lawrence of LBE global
-
Not Synced
shared his story about working on
-
Not Synced
product and companies, as well as
-
Not Synced
helping us build our actual website,
-
Not Synced
InnovatorTribe.com.
-
Not Synced
I'm very excited to not only have him
-
Not Synced
on the show, but to announce
-
Not Synced
that InnovatorTribe.com is now live.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] Yes, yes, shout out to Justin
and his team for doing some
-
Not Synced
awesome work on getting
-
Not Synced
InnovatorTribe.com up and running,
-
Not Synced
and just the whole LBE global team.
-
Not Synced
They're so awesome, man.
-
Not Synced
Yeah, I'm happy he's able to
come on the show,
-
Not Synced
and just share with our audience ways
to interact.
-
Not Synced
'Cause he's a technical founder.
-
Not Synced
And so, he shares some really good gems
for not-technical founders to attract
-
Not Synced
people like himself to join your team,
-
Not Synced
and be able to build some great products.
-
Not Synced
And, uh, just a lot of gems in store.
-
Not Synced
(Toye) Yeah, I mean, he literally walks
through steps you can take to secure
-
Not Synced
that technical founder if you don't know
how to code,
-
Not Synced
or you don't have enough money to
actually pay developers.
-
Not Synced
So definitely look out for
that little tidbit.
-
Not Synced
One of the things that stood out
to me as well was
-
Not Synced
he actually talks about
once you actually have a product,
-
Not Synced
you wanna make sure that you actually
have people that are gonna buy it.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] Yeah.
-
Not Synced
[Toye] Right, so, you're having a plan,
-
Not Synced
once you actually launch your product.
-
Not Synced
Do you know where your target audience
is? If you don't, you need to find them.
-
Not Synced
He highlights that it really hits hard
-
Not Synced
on the point of making sure you have
a launch plan,
-
Not Synced
once you actually have your product
done.
-
Not Synced
[Ahmad] Yeah, he keeps it straight,
no [inaudible], I like to say.
-
Not Synced
He digs into his personal experiences
with hitting those type of hurdles
-
Not Synced
when building LBE global and
previous products outset
-
Not Synced
that he developed throughout
his career.
-
Not Synced
So, a lot of gems within
-
Not Synced
his personal story.
-
Not Synced
We also dive into the differences between
a B to B, or "Business to Business"
-
Not Synced
approach versus a B to C, also known as
"Business to Consumer" approach.
-
Not Synced
The nuances and different strategies
that you have to consider
-
Not Synced
as a technologist when positioning
your products in those different type
-
Not Synced
of demographics.
-
Not Synced
So many gems.
-
Not Synced
So it's a lot. You need your pen
and paper.
-
Not Synced

on 0.5 to slow it down, and
