I'm no longer active on this platform.
- Product Twitter: treat yourself to a free, 1-hour true masterclass on product from Steve Jobs, circa 1995, covering product discovery, the dangers of process people, the perils of roadmaps, why so many companies lose their product mojo, and more: youtube.com/watch?v=aJzmlo…
- I just posted an article that I fully expect will upset many in the product community, but I believe it's important, and I'm hopeful it can explain most of the noise and confusion in the community about the role of product:

- Product friends... I do a lot of interviews, but this podcast with @lennysan is my favorite so far.

I hope you give it a listen:✨ Here’s my conversation with Marty Cagan (@cagan) Learn: ▫️ What Steve Jobs can teach you about being a great PM ▫️ The biggest misconceptions of great product teams ▫️ How to change your product culture ▫️ Diseases of product teams ▫️ More Links below youtube.com/watch?v=h-KVGH…
- Obviously I'm more than a little biased, but I truly believe this is the right 3 books for aspiring strong product people to get their career started in the right direction:
- I have no good excuse for why it's taken me so long to finally write this; hope it's helpful to those working to move to truly empowered product teams: svpg.com/product-manage…
