Beware of success stories. They often come with myths about what contributed to this success.

As someone who is deeply in love with tech Product Management, it's been fascinating to witness Toronto's transformation over the last decade into the 3rd largest tech hub in North America. https://t.co/MgbJG8SDe8

@Timothyreis @Proposify Yikes @Timothyreis ! Puking was never an intended side effect of using Proposify. I am VP of Product at Proposify and would love to chat to learn more. Will reach out via e-mail.

@onejasonknight Have you read Working Backwards? Consider the two authors for your podcast as well.

@erinechan Congrats! You are crushing it Erin!

For all the people feeling like there is some-one/thing standing in the way of their success, just remember - the only things you can control are what you say, what you do and your mindset... and it just happens that those things have a profound impact on others #empower

I have finally discovered my answer to Thiel's "important truth very few would agree with you on" interview Q. That this question is only helpful at identifying people with enormous egos and little humility to be curious about other people POVs #controversial #ready4disapproval

@gibsonbiddle I was just thinking today about when the next Product Leader Summit is going to be. It's a sign. Let's see if I make the cut this year. Not taking any offence about last year. You do bring in some incredible folks together. #fingerscrossed #productleader

So tempted to try the new #dotconnector Zoom app by @RayDalio . Fingers crossed I don't end up recreating Nosedive episode from Black Mirror 😬 https://t.co/Jx4hgZ8GqP #collaboration #realtimefeedback #BlackMirror

Speaking of Product-Led Growth hype, here's a great read from @OpenViewVenture to help you understand if your company is a PLG Imposter and compare your web-to-free, free-to-paid metrics. Full disclosure: I am on the bandwagon #plg #productled #benchmarks https://t.co/CL0A2N2Txw

I love talking to people who are as far removed from product management as possible. They help me get off my high horse and speak in plain language, which often makes me realize that it's much simpler than we make it sound #getoffyourhighrose #productjargon #whysoserious

[Victor Skrylev @VSkrylev]

#thoughtoftheday Don't confuse conflict with lack of or poor collaboration. Productive conflict is collaboration. Productive=helps uncover new insight, new option, gets you to a decision faster, strengthens relationships

Recently I got involved in a cool mentorship gig - helping a few product folks conceptualize, build and ship a product to market in just a few weeks as part of Co.Lab program. Check out their inspiring projects. We live in a golden age of entrepreneurs https://t.co/yvBV76B1Zo

@onejasonknight I'd focus on early sales funnel metrics (lead gen, demos, etc.) and user value metrics as a proxy to customer and biz value over long term (i.e. time to get stuff done, feature adoption, successful journey/drop offs, "redo/undo" actions)

[Victor Skrylev @VSkrylev]

@JsnKnght Hilarious. I am engaging with your post about a post where you wonder about low engagement that received no engagement. So meta.

[Victor Skrylev @VSkrylev]

@JsnKnght @gibsonbiddle would answer this Census question as "Delight customers in hard to copy margin enhancing ways" = 55 characters

@domm My #1 YouTube recommended video is a car crushing toys perfectly lined up in front of one of its wheels

[Victor Skrylev @VSkrylev]

@gibsonbiddle Happy to share my story summarizing two years worth of some failed and some successful attempts
