I’m honored to be this week’s guest on This is Product Management, a podcast by Alpha. It was so much fun to record because the topics are basically all of my favorites:

  1. Product management in startups, and what to do when you’re stuck trying to determine what metric even matters rather than how to make it go in the direction you want
  2. Executive alignment, and the importance of understanding how key stakeholders like to communicate
  3. Imposter Syndrome, and how to get over it
  4. How to break down walls and objections with stakeholders through collaboration and shared discovery
  5. The importance of keeping users at the heart of your decisions, and how to do that as a new startup that may not have a large user base yet

Give it a listen and let me know your take on these topics.
