  • 421: From Product Management to AI Startup with Gavin McNamara
    Apr 2 2026

    On the Predictable Revenue Podcast, Collin Stewart sat down with Gavin McNamara to unpack his product-market fit journey.

    It didn’t start with a clear idea or a validated market. It started with messy consulting work, a personal problem, and a series of small signals that only made sense in hindsight. That’s the reality most founders don’t hear.

    Product-market fit isn’t a single moment where everything clicks. It’s something you work toward by following real problems, real customers, and narrowing in on what actually works.

    This is what that process actually looks like.

    Highlights include: Navigating the Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster (08:09), Finding Initial Customers (11:24), From B2C to B2B: Expanding Horizons (19:19), The Moment of Validation (32:19), And more...
