Mike Belsito joins Product Love to talk about managing experiences as products Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

What do you consider a product? Us product managers, past or present, are probably quick to point to our trusty smartphones, our favorite apps, and even our own software but Mike Belsito thinks otherwise. He considers everything a product. Like many product managers we’ve interviewed in the past, Mike accidentally stumbled onto this role. He jokes that becoming a product manager was probably the next step after being a failed startup founder, but ironically, he’s the co-founder of the Product Collect

Show notes

This week on Product Love, I talked to Steve Johnson, who believes that simplicity is key when it comes to product management. If you’re doing more than 10 things at once, then maybe you’re doing too much. And as a bonus, he can sing! No really, some record company should sign this guy.

Show notes

Do our own experiences and biases work against us when we are building products? I mean, we often start down a path based on our experiences and our owned learned biases. We often start with constraints, what we know how to build or what is convenient. It is rare we truly start from a blank slate. This week on Product Love, I talked to the Head of Strategy at Basecamp, Ryan Singer, at their headquarters in Chicago. What is powerful about Ryan and the team at basecamp is how they approach thinking abo

Jim Semick joins Product Love to talk about bootstrapping, metrics and pricing Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

Bootstrapping instead of raising capital. On one hand, you can retain control and can set your own course. On the other, the luxury of capital gives you the resources to add features, hire more engineers and grow quicker. But maybe capital limitations can actually help you create a more focused product. This week on Product Love, I sat down and talked to Jim Semick, founder of Product Plan, about bootstrapping a startup, key metrics for product managers and how to approach pricing.
