Luke Hohmann was kind enough to invite me on to the Profit Streams™ podcast.

Luke’s questions come from all different directions, which makes it a fun and free-flowing conversation, diving into topics that I don’t normally discuss. It’s very much framed in an “operator” mindset which I think folks will find both informative and practical.
Software Profit Streams™
In getting to know Luke, I also had the chance to learn about the book he authored with Jason Tanner: Software Profit Streams™. If you’re a student of the Magic Box Paradigm - then, like me, you’re probably a frameworks junkie. And wowza, is this book packed with frameworks?!
What’s also remarkable about this book is the design. I struggled to get half a dozen images in the MBP book, and they ended up looking like smudges that came off a dot matrix printer. Software Profit Streams is a work of art. Beyond being your guide to strategic frameworks, it could also anchor your coffee table selection! Both the concepts and the visualization of those concepts are tremendous.
My take on the book, much like the MBP, is that it isn’t trying to give you a paint-by-numbers approach to strategy, but is instead giving you a baseline set of frameworks that you can then debate, modify, and adjust to match your specific situation.
The book covers a lot of beachfront, from understanding customer priorities and determining pricing models to ROI calculations and financial modeling. It’s a book designed to spark your thinking and get you from zero-to-one on a great many critical topics.
