  • Startups, get out of your own way: Why Great Products Don’t Make Money Without Marketing & Sales
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode of Marbling, Christopher Karam breaks down one of the biggest mistakes startup founders make: obsessing over the product while ignoring the rest of the system that actually gets money into the business.


    Chris introduces a simple but powerful framework—the Revenue Bridge—and explains why every dollar has to cross three pillars to reach your bank account: marketing, sales, and product. Miss one, and the bridge collapses.


    You’ll learn:

    • Why most startups don’t fail because of bad products

    • How marketing, sales, and product work together as a single system

    • Why waiting for a “perfect” product kills momentum

    • How selling earlier accelerates feedback, funding, and iteration

    • What to focus on if you’re stuck building but not earning


    If you’re a founder struggling to get consistent revenue, this episode is a reality check—and a roadmap. Stop overbuilding.


    Start completing the bridge. That’s how businesses actually grow.

  • Make yourself better: Building a life that compounds meaning, strength, and impact
    Jan 21 2026

    In this episode of Marbling, host Christopher Karam unpacks a powerful idea: your life isn’t just about you—it’s about who you become and how that ripples outward into your family, your community, and the world.


    Chris explores the compounding nature of self-development—how the habits you build, the skills you stack, and the responsibilities you choose don’t just improve your life… they multiply your impact. From fitness and business to mental health and purpose, he shows how progress in one area fuels everything else.


    You’ll hear about:

    • Why you must help yourself before you can truly help others

    • How growth works like compound interest

    • The power of choosing your “burdens” and taking on meaningful responsibility

    • How tracking habits and progress can rewire your motivation

    • Why momentum comes from stacking small, positive actions daily


    If you want more drive, more meaning, and more direction in your life—this episode is your wake-up call.


    This isn’t about doing more.

    It’s about becoming more… so you can give more.


    Let’s go.
