A lot of hustle conversation going on right now and it reminds me of this chat with Polina Marchenko of SIDE PRJCT about how she burned out, got back up and did things differently & more sustainably

#prodmgmt #startups #hustle
And of course @randfish wrote a whole book ("Lost & Founder") in a similar vein, about how the tech bro VC growth at all costs culture pulled him apart and made him want to do it differently

There's nothing wrong with working hard and throwing yourself into your work.. but do it on your terms. Don't sit there reading sweeping advice coming from massively privileged people and expect it to work for you. You're only hearing from the survivors!

It's my podcast's birthday! 1 year ago I pressed Publish on @podbeancom for the first time. 77 episodes and 20K downloads later, phew! I've met so many great people, had so many great conversations. Thanks to all who have listened or taken part!

A few reflections 🧵
Starting a podcast was not a natural thing for me to do. I hate how I sound, and I don't think I ever fully recovered from a bout of Bell's Palsy. But I wanted to accomplish a few things and it seemed like, in true #prodmgmt fashion, I should test & learn
1. I wanted to learn from other product managers. Product management can be a lonely profession and you can get stuck in your own head sometimes. My job wasn't going wonderfully at the time (have since switched) and I wanted to connect with other product managers & leaders
