21 - Scaling Products Globally — with Kevin Goldsmith, Chief Technology Officer at DistroKid

On this episode, we’re joined by Kevin Goldsmith, Chief Technology Officer at DistroKid. With many years of experience in the tech and digital media industries, Kevin shares his insights on the key considerations and challenges businesses face when scaling a product for a global market.

We discuss:

- The importance of having a global mindset from the inception of a product.

- Localization considerations, such as language, marketing, pricing and understanding the differences in connectivity across different regions.

- Best practices for scaling your technology infrastructure to serve a global market.

- Why businesses need to prioritize understanding the different privacy laws and other region-specific regulations.

- Tactics for market research when scaling globally.

- Why data plays a key role in understanding the effectiveness of your product across different regions.

- The importance of building a culture of innovation.

Kevin says,

“I think the one thing I’ve learned over my 30 years of working in technology has been that I always have to be curious. I always have to be learning. I can never assume that what I know is sufficient for everything else.”
