In a rare interview, the growth 🐐 behind @duolingo, @Grammarly, and @chesscom shares everything he's learned about growing consumer products. In my conversation with Albert Cheng (@Albertc248), we discuss: 🔸 What good retention looks like for a consumer subscription app in 2025 🔸 How showing premium features to free users doubled Grammarly’s upgrades to paid plans 🔸 How to use the explore-exploit framework to find new growth opportunities 🔸 Why “reverse trials” work better than time-based trials 🔸 The three pillars of successful gamification: core loop, metagame, and profile Listen now 👇 • YouTube: youtu.be/2BKmNmnEj9w • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3nf… • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 @TrustVanta — Automate compliance.

🎧 🚀 Check out my new episode with @lennysan on growing consumer subscriptions! I've been fortunate to lead Growth at three of the world's most beloved subscription products - @duolingo, @Grammarly, and @chesscom. In this conversation I share the stories and tactical examples on the journey to running 1,000 experiments per year, improving our velocity while uncovering counterintuitive insights along the way. Let me know what you think! And thanks Lenny for the thought-provoking questions! YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=2BKmNmnE… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3nf…
