“The signal can be super sparse you get back at times too. And then what you can do is there's really powerful tools, we use Gong for instance to understand what are maybe prospects or really engineers, to me it's like potential customers, what are they talking about?”
book / recommends
“I really love A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. That book to me is so interesting because I'm a bit of a nerd around science, I used to read a lot of fiction growing up too. And I think weirdly enough, Bill tells this story of the history of science really and how we know the things that we know, and he kind of tells it from the perspective of learning about the scientists that discovered these things. So for instance, you learn that Newton was kind of an asshole to the co-workers he had, or Darwin wasn't maybe perceived as such an amazing scientist at the time. And a lot of these scientists, their discoveries don't become famous. It's almost like being an artist, where you realize the relevance of a scientist's discovery years later at times. And people don't get credit for things that they discovered. So to me, it was really interesting to one, read more about the scale of the universe and how long we've been here. And I think it just puts a lot of things into perspective of our time here, how we spend it. And even the age we're living in now with AI, it's such a blip in the cosmic scale. And then you also get these really fun anecdotes from scientists along the way. So that one I recommend to almost everyone, because it's a pretty easy read as well. And then I think another one, which is maybe a little bit more in the career lens, is this book called Designing Your Life, which is written by actually one of the founders of IDEO, and these folks are Stanford professors in the Design Lab. And what's really powerful about this for me is it's actually pretty practical. So it comes with exercises that I remember I did myself as well when I wasn't sure which direction to go in my career, that helped me really figure out, the most powerful exercise and take away from this book for me was basically in the first or second chapter I think, you write out one page on the meaning of work to you and what does work mean? Is it a way for me to make money? Is it a way for me to feel fulfilled with what I do or how I spend my time? And then you write out one page on the meaning of life. And what's really powerful is it's really, really hard to do those two things, and then you have to find the overlap between the two. And I think that exercise is so clarifying and I recommend it to anyone when they feel stuck in their career, because it can at least, coming back to the energy point, can give you a direction to go even if you're not sure how to get there just yet. And so I love both of those books because they're really shifting from a perspective standpoint.”

“That would not have been possible even a year ago. And I think the way that the technology is, trending is things will keep getting easier, and as a product manager, your curiosity is going to keep pushing you forward so that you can be the person out there saying, hey, did you see this cool thing that I just pulled up?”

“Because if you're a consumer and you're trying out technology and you're trying out AI technology and trying to push the boundaries of what's possible, I think you can have that light bulb aha moment of, I can take this thing that kind of feels like it's early but it could be something here, and go take it to my team and say maybe it's possible for us to use this thing.”

“It almost feels a little bit like AI will be as common as the database to some degree for SaaS applications. And so I think that's really where if you really break it down, I kind of see in the future, in the near future, most PMs are probably going to be one flavor of an AI product manager, either building tools for other PMs or other companies that are deploying AI.”
