Visual collaboration is missing from the AI era. That's the provocation Elaina O'Mahoney, Chief Product Officer at Mural, brings to this episode of The Product Podcast with Carlos (CEO at Product School). We spend all day alone in our tools, typing or talking to an LLM, and when it's time to collaborate we drop words into a doc instead of thinking together visually. Elaina makes the case that AI has quietly turned work into "solo-player mode," and that the teams who win next will be the ones who rebuild shared context and multiplayer collaboration on top of it.Elaina and Carlos get into why ideas are now cheap (you can go from a thought to a working prototype in hours) and why that makes shared context, not idea generation, the real bottleneck. She argues that everyone is a designer at heart, that product leaders should replace the five-page strategy doc with a fast prototype that conveys the North Star, and that "shipping" can mean a workflow or an agent, not just a production release. They also dig into the crowded "where work happens" landscape (Slack, Teams, Jira, Linear, Notion) and the blank-canvas gap around how and why decisions actually get made, how to create safe spaces for people to try AI and fail inside large enterprises, and the pricing tension between legacy seat-based SaaS and AI-native usage models.What you'll learn:- Why Elaina says visual collaboration is "absent" in the AI era, and why that matters- The "solo-player mode" problem: how AI made work lonely, and what multiplayer should look like- Why ideas are now cheap, and how that shifts the bottleneck to shared context and faster decisions- Why the real blank space isn't planning or chat, but how and why decisions get made- The case that everyone is a designer, and how visual thinking speeds up decisions- How a CPO ships to demo a direction (a prototype instead of a strategy doc)- What's still scarce in an AI world: data science, taste, and synthesizing analytics- How to create safe, low-risk spaces for teams to try AI and fail inside big enterprises- Why smaller "champion" teams beat top-down rollouts, and how internal builders spread practices- The pricing dilemma: seat-based SaaS vs. AI-native usage modelsChapters:00:00 Intro00:59 Intro: Elaina O'Mahoney, CPO at Mural01:31 Mural's origin as a collaboration canvas03:01 Multiplayer vs. AI's solo-player mode04:23 Ideas are cheap now: idea to prototype in hours05:44 The competitive landscape and convergence08:31 The blank space nobody owns: how decisions get made09:22 Lowering the bar so everyone can design11:33 Everybody should be shipping now12:25 Shipping to demo, not to production14:04 Creating safe spaces to try AI in the enterprise17:10 Forward-deployed engineers19:14 Building a community around Mural22:11 The pricing dilemma: SaaS vs. AI-native usage24:07 Measuring real AI impact26:19 How Elaina structures her team28:20 The innovator's dilemma30:03 From annual QBRs to monthly loops31:05 Ten years of Mural, and a World Cup sign-offConnect with the Guest:Elaina O'Mahoney, Chief Product Officer, MuralLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eomahoney/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Mural: Mural is a visual collaboration platform built for teams to brainstorm, converge, and make decisions together on a shared canvas.

Two years ago, Square tore up its general-manager model and rebuilt the entire company around functional excellence. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) sits down with Willem Avé, Global Head of Product at Square (part of Block), to unpack why they made that bet, what it costs, and how AI is now reshaping the org itself.Willem started at Block as a CTO whose company was acquired, grew up through engineering, and has seen every era of the company from the little white card reader to today's multiple product ecosystems. He explains why orgs should be built around customer outcomes (and how quality degrades the further you drift from that principle), why hardware demands a different kind of craft than software, and how Jack Dorsey's thinking pushed them toward the idea of running Block like a "mini AGI company," where AI encodes institutional knowledge instead of red tape and process. Then he opens up a live demo of "manager bot," an agent that lets a small-business owner delegate real tasks (like an inventory workflow for a bakery) without worrying about memory, connectors, or prompts. He closes with a genuine hot take on TAM and what AI agents mean for the size of the market Square can serve.What you'll learn:- Why Square replaced general managers with a fully functionalized org, and what "functional excellence" buys you- How to organize teams around customer outcomes, and why quality drops the further you drift- Why hardware craft (approachable, reliable, "it just works") differs from software craft- What it means to run a company like a "mini AGI," and how AI can encode knowledge instead of process- Why the era of the simple question-answer chatbot is ending, and what replaces it- A live look at "manager bot": delegating real business tasks to an agent- Why small-business owners want outcomes, not memory, connectors, or prompt-craft- Willem's hot take on TAM, and how agents expand who Square can serve- Why economic empowerment and democratizing advanced technology is the throughlineChapters:00:00 Trailer01:32 Inside Square and Block: how the teams are designed03:34 The four orgs: audiences, platform, growth, money04:46 Marrying hardware and software in one function05:56 Finding leaders who understand both worlds07:25 The DRI model and killing the silent veto09:16 Can everyone report to one person?11:12 Why flat orgs still need great managers12:41 Building for people who are not on X every day14:41 The loneliness of running a business17:24 Demo: Manager Bot doing real work20:19 Why AI should not create more work for sellers22:13 Hot take: TAM is almost infinite24:22 Killing the fragmented point solution stack26:06 WhatsApp, Instagram, and the comms problem27:54 Buzz and what nobody has solved yet28:34 ClosingConnect with Willem Avé:Global Head of Product, Square (Block)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/willem-ave/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product School:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Square: Square, part of Block, builds payments hardware and software plus a broader ecosystem of tools that help sellers and small businesses run and grow.

Most people think of drones as toys. Alden Jones thinks of them as infrastructure. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) visits Skydio's California office to sit down with Alden Jones, VP of Product at Skydio, the autonomous drone company building "flying robots" for public safety, defense, and infrastructure inspection. With a history degree and a military background (he was a truck-driving officer running supply convoys in Iraq) rather than an engineering one, Alden explains how a vertically integrated company of nearly 1,000 people builds everything in house, from chip-level design to hardware, embedded software, and cloud, and why autonomy, not just flight, is the real product.He breaks down Skydio's "Drone as First Responder" (DFR) program, where a drone often reaches the scene before human officers, and the outcomes dashboard cities use to track response times. He compares the economics against police helicopters (roughly $3,000 an hour to operate and $10-25M to buy), walks through the defense and tactical ISR use cases shaped by the war in Ukraine, and explains how thousands of cheaper camera drones could democratize air support while saving lives. He covers physical security (where 90-95% of alarms turn out to be false), the work of earning FAA trust to unlock groundbreaking waivers, and why Skydio's $3.5B, five-year investment in US and allied supply chains is funded by revenue instead of debt. He also opens up the product org itself: roughly 20 product managers across the entire stack, "strike teams" that work like forward-deployed engineers, and a customer-first culture where PMs are expected to go watch the robot fly in the real world.What you'll learn:Why Skydio calls its products "flying robots," and the "toys to tools to infrastructure" thesisWhat full vertical integration looks like: chip-down design to cloud, all in houseHow "Drone as First Responder" changes 911 response, tracked in a live outcomes dashboardThe real economics of drones vs. police helicoptersHow the war in Ukraine reshaped Skydio's thinking on tactical ISR and democratizing air supportWhy 90-95% of physical security alarms are false, and how autonomous drones clear them at near-zero marginal costHow Skydio earns FAA trust to fly beyond visual line of sight and win first-mover waiversWhy a $3.5B, five-year US manufacturing commitment is funded by revenue, not debtHow one pilot flying multiple drones becomes possible only through real autonomyHow Skydio runs product with ~20 PMs, "strike teams," and a customer-first org designWhy shipping hardware plus software (the Tesla comparison) shapes a roughly two-year program cycleConnect with Alden Jones, VP of Product, Skydio:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aldenljones/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Skydio: Skydio is a US-based manufacturer of autonomous drones ("flying robots") for public safety, defense, security, and infrastructure inspection.

n8n's founder puts the company's GitHub repo, nearly 200,000 stars, right next to the paid signup button, and he's genuinely fine if you never pay. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) sits down with Jan Oberhauser, CEO of n8n, the open-source automation platform that's crossed $100 million in ARR at a $5.2 billion valuation. Jan breaks down the "fair-code" license bet that let him give the product away and still build a business, how that free version became the on-ramp into enterprises like Meta, Nvidia, Dell, Accenture, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, and Mercedes, and why he believes the people with the problem should build the automation themselves, not a centralized team or an outside agency.He also walks through a live build of a personal AI agent (email and calendar), shows how n8n falls back from Claude to GPT via OpenRouter when a model isn't available, and explains how enterprises get automations into production faster because each agent can only do exactly what it's been permitted to do.What you'll learn:Why n8n rejected traditional open source for a "fair-code" license, and how it avoided the community backlash that burned other companiesWhy trust and consistency, not features, are the real center of a communityHow the free, self-hosted version drives bottom-up adoption inside major enterprisesWhy "sprinkling AI on top" kills products, and what to build insteadHow to chain agents so one agent's output becomes the next agent's inputWhy n8n is the "connective tissue" between models, tools, and business systemsHow guardrails (an agent can only do what it's explicitly allowed) speed up enterprise procurement and productionWhy the people with the problem should own the building, not a centralized AI teamHow 10,000+ community templates and 500+ integrations expand what non-technical builders can shipHow one company routes 75% of support through an n8n agent, with customers happier than with humansConnect with Guest (Jan Oberhauser):LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janoberhauserX: https://x.com/JanOberhauserHost: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Jan Oberholzer: Jan is the CEO of n8n, an open-source (fair-code) workflow automation and orchestration platform for building AI agents.
