This is 20 Growth with me, Harry Stebbins. Now 20 Growth is the show where we sit down with the best growth leaders in the world to discuss how to scale brand marketing, how to scale paid marketing, how to create virality in a product, how to scale products to millions of users. This show today is one of the most granular that we've done in years. I think you'll love it. I

absolutely adored doing it. I'm thrilled to welcome Sandy Diao, one of the most exceptional growth leaders of the last decade. Sandy scaled products to over 200 million users and led growth teams at Descript, Meta, and Pinterest. She's also a prolific writer and we've included the link to her blog in the show notes. I love it and it's exactly what I love in a blog.

Tactical, granular, so many good takeaways there. But before we dive into the show today.
