01 / belief

Tamar, don't be mad if I mess up your title. And what I learned through that process is that people completely misunderstand how executives make decisions, what is going on in the heads, in the calendars, in the incentive structures of executives.

02 / belief

I think the inverse of this is how do you use that incentive structure to also inform regular roadmap, not just net new product ideas or net new pitches, but you're actually imbuing your entire team and your thought process with that incentive structure.

03 / belief

I still don't know because it's a really, really hard job and I have just way more respect than I ever did before that. But I think that if you want to grow into a product leadership role, expanding your viewpoint, expanding the way that you see problems, and thinking about it from a global perspective is a way to show up as that strategic leader that you say you want to be.

04 / belief

If you want to have an empowered EPDI organization or company, that clarity of what you believe, what are the most important problems to invest time and energy into, where we want to invest compute and dollars, that is the mechanism for letting people go and run at as fast a velocity as they're capable of. So if you have that corpus of shared beliefs that you update on a pretty fast clip, because I think that's the mode we're in, that is actually what enables teams to build the right stuff as opposed to just the idea that Claude had.

Base this on more corporate context than I could ever have gone through myself and poke holes. And I think that that is just a really powerful way for amplifying our work.

08 / belief

Influence is about increasing the odds that your good ideas survive. And I think what happens is people actually let ego and let their own narrative, their own scope of influence, get in the way of empathy.

I am not a very online person, which is funny for being on this podcast. So I think the main place I am online is on LinkedIn, and so you could definitely find me there.

I think as product builders, there's almost not a skill that's more important. Influence and building momentum behind great ideas is the way that great products actually get built.

11 / belief

Distribution is everything. And I think the quintessential example we've seen here is with Gemini and Google's tools and just their total continued dominance in that market because of tools of distribution.
