After a year in too much of a cave, I'm re-emerging with a new class, a podcast on product leadership, and even - god forbid - new blog posts, such as this: The Missing Step Every PM Should Do When Starting a New Job https://t.co/WWthPZA38G

a moment of gratitude for @lissijean for bringing together such a well-rounded set of guests week after week that we all get to learn from. @giffco interview is excellent and focuses on such an important area in product leadership and an area I continue to try and improve myself.

Just finished listening to one of the greatest episodes of Product Thinking Podcast by @lissijean ft @giffco.

They talked about translating product to the exec layer and finished with understanding company valuations (top vs bottom lines). So helpful!!

If you know anyone that's a beast of a PM in the enterprise-focused B2B SaaS space that could use a super exciting new challenge, send them my way.
