The Product Boss with Jacqueline Snyder

Jacqueline Snyder

The Product Boss is real business education for people who make and sell physical products.

If you’re working way too hard for the sales you’re getting, you’re in the right place. This show is about building a focused, profitable product business that gets seen and sells consistently, without sacrificing your life to it.

Hosted by Jacqueline Snyder, founder of The Product Boss and one of the country’s most sought-after product experts (featured in Inc., Forbes, NBC News, Yahoo Finance, and more), each episode delivers clear strategy you can actually use. You’ll hear workshop-style teaching and behind-the-scenes advising conversations that help you make better decisions, faster.

Whether you sell on your website, at markets, wholesale (including Faire), in boutiques, or through platforms like Shopify, Etsy, and Amazon, the strategy here works across channels. We talk best sellers and what you’re known for, pricing for profit, visibility beyond social media, conversion, inventory planning, seasonal strategy, and the systems that stop you from doing everything yourself.

You’ll also get Mirror Method and mindset episodes, because your business will always reveal what needs to grow next: confidence, consistency, boundaries, leadership, and the courage to be seen.

Guests have included Jenna Kutcher, Jamie Kern Lima, Jasmine Star, David Meltzer, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann (OPI), Mike Michalowicz (Profit First), Joy Cho, Jaclyn Johnson, Kelly Roach, and more.

In this special episode, I’m sharing an interview I did on Tina Tower’s Her Empire Builder podcast where we talk about what happens when what used to work stops working, why more effort isn’t the answer, and how your business starts reflecting your beliefs, your fears, and your level of self-trust. I open up about navigating grief, buying out my co-founder, rebuilding my identity as a solo CEO, and learning that no amount of strategy can outwork self-doubt. Get ready to shift how you see your business, your growth, and what’s possible for you.
