@kola_aina@peaceitimi Unrelated butβ¦. Just listened to your session on the iDICE founders lab onboarding. It was really really insightful. A check list Iβll keep looking back on throughout this founder journey Iβm on ππΌ

It reminds me thereβs no time to have doubts

Trackly aggregates everything, from traditional banks like GTB to fintechs like OPay, piggyvest & Risevest. It reads all transactions and automates categorizing transactions (even unlabeled ones), mapping your cash flow patterns, and delivering high-level insights.
Tips?
Back in 2021, when I was starting my PM journey, I would read @lennysanβs newsletters like a bible.
I still remember the day he announced his podcast.
I was literally glued to Spotify waiting for the first episode to drop.
Since then, Lenny has quietly become my pre-interview ritual.
Before any important interview round, I binge 5β6 episodes. Because somewhere between those conversations, your brain starts absorbing:
β’ how great PMs think
β’ how founders make tradeoffs
β’ how growth actually works
β’ how to ask sharper questions
β’ how to separate good taste from generic PM speak
β’ how product, distribution, users, and business connect
And honestly, that has shaped me a lot.
Especially because Lennyβs work never made product feel like some fancy job title. It made it feel like a craft.
Something you keep getting better at by listening, observing, building, writing, shipping, and learning from people who have actually done the work.
So yes, this is a tiny appreciation post.
For the newsletter I treated like coursework; for the podcast I still binge before interviews.
And for becoming the unofficial mentor to an entire generation of PMs trying to get better at the craft.
