S1E02 - MVP Is Dead: Why You Need a ’Minimum Usable Product’ Today

S1E02: MVP is dead; long live MUP

Somewhere along the way, Minimum Viable Products turned into bloated messes—packed with half-baked features nobody asked for. Founders overbuild. Users get confused. And what started as a smart way to test becomes a fast track to failure.

In this episode, we talk about why the old MVP mindset isn’t cutting it anymore. We break down real examples of how things go off the rails. And we introduce something better: the MUP. The Minimum Usable Product. It’s lean. It’s simple. It’s built to give your user real value from day one.

No fluff. No feature creep. Just something that works—and works well.

Hosted by Vince O’Gorman (Founder, Nexxt Ideas), Brady MacDonald (Chief of Sales, Nexxt Ideas), and Christa Hill (Co-founder of Tacit-Edge), this one’s for builders who want results, not rework.
