Coming up with a product name or tagline seems simple. Until you have to do it. You brainstorm, you debate, and you finally land on something… only to find yourself explaining it to people over and over. That's the real test of a name: if you have to explain it, it's not working. The truth is, your name or tagline is doing more heavy lifting than you realize. It's your first impression, elevator pitch, and clearest hook all rolled into a few words. So why do some names work instantly while others fall flat? And how do you make sure yours is good?
In today's episode, hosts Donald Miller and Kyle Reed break down the art and science of naming and tagline creation, using the podcast app Snipd as a case study. They explore how a name that sounds clever can still confuse your audience, and why instant clarity always beats creativity. You'll hear a practical breakdown of how to avoid the "curse of knowledge," how to test if your name really works, and what makes a tagline stick in someone's brain. Listen in to discover the simple shifts that make your message irresistible.
