You're listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast. The next set of episodes are conversations I had at this year's Corporate Researchers Conference or CRC. This is put on by the Insights Association in Orlando, Florida. I had quite a few interesting conversations highlighting specific companies that exhibited this year as well as a couple of speakers, Wells Fargo, IBM, etc. I hope you have a really good rest of your day and enjoy these short episodes. [00:32] I'm here with Matt Lucas, Head of Product for GutCheck. It's actually one of my favorite companies right now. [00:38] Well, that's very kind of you. [00:40] You guys’ve been around a long time. [00:42] About nine years, I believe. [00:44] Yep, that's right. So, how long have you been part of the company? [00:47] I've been with the company for almost four years. [00:49] Okay, got it. So, Head of Product is actually one of the highest sought-after jobs, right? It is a very prestigious… There's a lot of people that would like that kind of a role. Tell our audience what that job actually entails. [1:04] My role at GutCheck oversees a couple of different things. We focus on our technology development. So, our product team works with our engineering group to productize our research methodologies. I also work closely with the research science group to take client feedback or market feedback and turn that into new research methodologies to meet needs out in the market. [01:27] You guys, it's nine years old?
