About This Podcast
Build. Grow. Repeat. is the podcast for skilled professionals and early-stage founders who want to build a real product and grow predictable revenue — without hustle culture, or “get rich quick” fantasies.
This show helps you close the gap between building a product with vibe coding and growing with growth marketing by treating them as one craft. Every episode is designed to give you something you can actually use: a clearer decision, a tighter customer journey, a better experiment, or a concrete next step you can run this week.
What you’ll learn here:
- Build faster (without needing to know how to code): vibe code real software and offers quickly — and validate what matters before you over-invest.
- Grow calmly and predictably: positioning, funnels, pricing, and experiments that turn attention into revenue without persuasion theater.
- Run on signals, not just vibes: activation, retention, and product–market-fit indicators that tell you what to double down on — and what to stop.
- Use AI as leverage: vibe coding and AI-native workflows that speed you up while keeping human judgment in charge.
- Commit without gambling: how to choose one direction and test it through small, reversible bets that produce proof.
You’ll get a mix of solo deep dives, builder interviews, and occasional teardowns of customer journeys and decisions that looked “logical” on paper — but fail in real life.
About the host: I’m Ben Sufiani, founder of Pirate Skills. I’ve been building and growing products for over 15 years across startups, consulting, and hands-on growth work. Pirate Skills exists to help builders turn ideas into evidence — by shipping, learning, and repeating the loop until something holds.
