In Episode 9 of Looking Outside we discuss the evolving expectations of market research with MRX guru, Jamin Brazil, co-founder and CEO at HubUX.

Jamin shares techniques he’s developed over 20 years in obtaining deeper market knowledge by evaluating new technologies, embracing social platforms and understanding cultural communities.

As a voice of influence in the industry, Jamin also speaks to the importance of finding the ‘one Jamin’ by building consistency and removing the ego. As he says, it’s about (really) listening and being humble.

Jamin also shares how he continues to push himself to learn, through active adoption of hobbies that take him into uncomfortable spaces.

To look beyond the familiar, Jamin takes on a hobby in an area that he’s less comfortable in, and actively participates in that so he’s learning by doing. Right now that’s in the crypto world of Coinbase and OpenSea.
