The guest argued that redefining a company's total addressable market (TAM) from a narrow product category to a broader consumer need can radically expand its strategic ambition and growth trajectory.

▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Execution risk in unfamiliar adjacent categories
- ▸Brand dilution when moving away from core products
