What Ashley said — indexed claims
- A practitioner can apply market-research listening discipline to their own life: spotting a gap (anxiety journals dominated by 'rainbows and butterflies' aesthetics that didn't fit users like her), validating with therapists, and building product is the same craft applied to a personal problem. — Ep. 12 · 38:15 ·
cl-ashley-023 - Insights professionals should hold strong opinions loosely — arrive with a hypothesis, but be willing to revise it when new data demands it; modeling this culturally helps long-tenured teams overcome 'we've always done it this way' inertia. — Ep. 12 · 12:50 ·
cl-ashley-009 - Earning executive buy-in for an insights function depends on identifying both your sponsors (advocates who speak for you when you're not in the room) and your skeptics (people whose past bad experiences must be addressed directly), and meeting each where they are. — Ep. 12 · 14:47 ·
