<p>You can spend all your time building a product, but if the experience is poor, all that work goes to waste. Whether it’s a product, an event, or a meeting, experience matters. In our season finale, I sit down with Jason W. Taylor, Founder of CodeLaunch, to break down how a small conference room with a bad mic turned into a Hollywood-level startup spectacle—complete with lights, crowds, and its own culture. We dive into why CodeLaunch works, the value of negative feedback, leveraging partner marketing, and why sponsors never get five minutes to bore the room. Recorded in-person at the CodeLaunch production studio on the eve of the 2025 CodeLaunch World Championships in Dallas.</p><br><p>Find Jason online:</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-w-taylor-startups/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-w-taylor-startups/</a></p><br><p>Find CodeLaunch online:</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/codelaunch-accelerator " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/codelaunch-accelerator</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://Instagram.com/CodeLaunch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://Instagram.com/CodeLaunch</a></p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by our friends at CodeLaunch!
