One of my firm beliefs is that PM is as much of a selling function as it is a building function.

We're all familiar with the eng / product / design triangle, but the tight collaboration with Sales & Marketing is what makes us P = product, rather than program or project managers

when I explicitly notice my own personal progress, I often find that I didn’t improve as much as I thought I did. but when I’m solely focused on the act of improving vs the result, in coming up for air I realize I made much more progress than expected

just my nostalgia for when mixed media blog formats were all the rage

[Kassen Qian @kassenq]

w/ media platforms we're losing not just curation, but also focus - we can take, store, & post more photos at once than ever before

no longer being forced to REALLY choose what we care about sharing means building creative direction in this process is no longer the default
