​Hope Gurion: What nobody told you about being a product leader (#27)​

I had an amazing conversation with Hope Gurion about the things nobody tells you about being a product leader. If you work in or around product teams, this is worth a listen. Go for a walk, get some sunlight, and feast your ears!

​2020 Resources for Product Leaders: a Curated List​

My experience has been that there are a bunch of resources to help guide you into product management and learn the core role. But afterwards… you’re kind of on your own. There’s a dearth of quality, actionable resources for PMs that already have the job and want to level up.

This is my first cut at curating a list of the resources that have been useful to me and many of the product folks I've talked to for the podcast. It should save you from wasting time. This list will expand over time.

Timely general resource

​The Story of Us: A Sick Giant (Chapter 10)​

I don't generally comment on politics, but this is an article that I have returned to many times in recent months to better understand what's going on in our country politically. Regardless of your politics, this will help you make more sense of "how did we get here?"

It's long, but worth it.

(Note: this is a US-centric piece and part of an excellent series on the topic.)
