For Everyone = For No One. Why I Made My TAM Smaller On Purpose.

How understanding your niche can define brand values Joe breaks down the persona exercise that shaped Go Brewing from day one: picture one real customer, sell to them, and let everything else (voice, story, product) follow from there.
