Steve Martin: Coaching Product Owners to Be the Voice of the Customer In this episode, we refer to Henrik Kniberg's "Product Owner in a Nutshell" video and Product Ownership by Geoff Watts. The Great Product Owner: Rob Gard's Customer Obsession Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The role of the PO really is to help the team empathize with the user, the customer of the product, because that's how they can develop great solutions." - Steve Martin   Rob Gard worked at a fintech firm and is now CPO of a major fintech company. Steve describes him as having a brilliant mind and being a real agileist—someone Steve learned a huge amount about Agile from. Rob's defining characteristic was his absolute obsession with the user. Everything focused on customer pain points. Working with engineering teams serving military customers, Rob held regular workshops with those customers to understand their pain firsthand. He was literally the voice of the customer, not theoretically but practically. Rob pushed and challenged teams to be more innovative, always looking for better ways of providing better software. His gift was communication—specifically, briefing the team on the problem rather than just reading out stories in refinement sessions. This is the anti-pattern many Product Owners fall into: going through the motions, reading requirements without context. Real product ownership, as Rob demonstrated, is telling a story that helps the team empathize and understand the pain. When teams can internalize customer problems, they develop better solutions. Rob's ability to communicate the problem into the minds of teams enabled them to serve customers more effectively. This is the essence of great Product Ownership: not being a proxy for management, not juggling multiple teams, but being deeply connected to customer pain and translating that pain into context the team can work with.   Self-reflection Question: Do your refinement sessions tell stories that help the team empathize with customer pain, or do you just read out requirements? The Bad Product Owner: Proxies for Management Instead of Customer Advocates Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "They weren't a team, they were a group of individuals working on multiple different projects." - Vasco Duarte   Steve emphasizes that Product Owners often have great intentions but struggle due to lack of training and coaching. The anti-patterns are systemic: commercial managers "dressed up" as Product Owners without understanding the role. Project managers transitioning to PO roles—though Steve notes PMs can make really good POs with proper support. The most damaging pattern is Product Owners spread across multiple teams, having very little time to focus on any single team or their customers. These POs become proxies—representing the voice of senior management rather than the voice of the customer. They cascade requirements downward instead of bringing customer insights upward. The solution isn't to criticize these struggling Product Owners but to help them understand their role and see what good looks like. Steve recommends Henrik Kniberg's "Product Owner in a Nutshell" video—15 minutes, 15 years old, still profoundly relevant. He also points to Product Ownership by Geoff Watts and formal training like CSPO or IC Agile Product Ownership courses. The fundamental issue is meeting Product Owners where they are, providing coaching and support to transform them from management proxies into customer advocates. When POs understand their role as empathy builders between customers and teams, everything changes.   Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner the voice of senior management or the voice of the customer?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Marcin Dymczyk, CPO and co-founder of SevenSense Robotics, exploring the fascinating world of advanced robotics and AI. Their conversation covers the evolution from traditional "standard" robotics with predetermined pathways to advanced robotics that incorporates perception, reasoning, and adaptability - essentially the AGI of physical robotics. Dymczyk explains how his company builds "the eyes and brains of mobile robots" using camera-based autonomy algorithms, drawing parallels between robot sensing systems and human vision, inner ear balance, and proprioception. The discussion ranges from the technical challenges of sensor fusion and world models to broader topics including robotics regulation across different countries, the role of federalism in innovation, and how recent geopolitical changes are driving localized high-tech development, particularly in defense applications. They also touch on the democratization of robotics for small businesses and the philosophical implications of increasingly sophisticated AI systems operating in physical environments.

Advanced robotics transcends traditional programming through perception and intelligence. Dymczyk distinguishes between standard robotics that follows rigid, predefined pathways and advanced robotics that incorporates perception and reasoning. This evolution enables robots to make autonomous decisions about navigation and task execution, similar to how humans adapt to unexpected situations rather than following predetermined scripts.2. Camera-based sensing systems mirror human biological navigation. SevenSense Robotics builds "eyes and brains" for mobile robots using multiple cameras (up to eight), IMUs (accelerometers/gyroscopes), and wheel encoders that parallel human vision, inner ear balance, and proprioception. This redundant sensing approach allows robots to navigate even when one system fails, such as operating in dark environments where visual sensors are compromised.3. Edge computing dominates industrial robotics due to connectivity and security constraints. Many industrial applications operate in environments with poor connectivity (like underground grocery stores) or require on-premise solutions for confidentiality. This necessitates powerful local processing capabilities rather than cloud-dependent AI, particularly in automotive factories where data security about new models is paramount.4. Safety regulations create mandatory "kill switches" that bypass AI decision-making. European and US regulatory bodies require deterministic safety systems that can instantly stop robots regardless of AI reasoning. These systems operate like human reflexes, providing immediate responses to obstacles while the main AI brain handles complex navigation and planning tasks.5. Modern robotics development benefits from increasingly affordable optical sensors. The democratization of 3D cameras, laser range finders, and miniature range measurement chips (costing just a few dollars from distributors like DigiKey) enables rapid prototyping and innovation that was previously limited to well-funded research institutions.6. Geopolitical shifts are driving localized high-tech development, particularly in defense applications. The changing role of US global leadership and lessons from Ukraine's drone warfare are motivating countries like Poland to develop indigenous robotics capabilities. Small engineering teams can now create battlefield-effective technology using consumer drones equipped with advanced sensors.7. The future of robotics lies in natural language programming for non-experts. Dymczyk envisions a transformation where small business owners can instruct robots using conversational language rather than complex programming, similar to how AI coding assistants now enable non-programmers to build applications through natural language prompts.

Happy New Year! This is the time of year when people make big changes. So, I'm bringing back my conversation with the co-author of Tomorrowmind. It's a fascinating book and especially relevant at this time of the year. Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman writes that that career trajectories used to be like steamships (full steam ahead), and then they became more like sailboats (lots of tacking), but now we're swirling in whitewater. So how can we stay afloat? How can we flourish? “When you're kayaking in the whitewater. It's hard to get a sense of what could be around the bend, but if you know if what's coming up is a sudden cascade or versus another, you know, set of gentle bumps, or maybe it's a calmer space in the river, it can give you a great advantage.”On this episode of CRAFTED., we focus on PRISM, the five key skill groups that Gabriella says can help you be more successful: Prospection, Resilience, Innovation and creativity, Social support by way of rapid rapport, and Mattering and meaning. Gabriella was until recently the Chief Product Officer at BetterUp, a platform that helps organizations and people level up through a mixture of human and AI coaching. She originally appeared on the show in a two-part episode. Part one is includes more on the tomorrowmind skills and her career path; in part two, she describes how BetterUp builds products and innovated under her leadership. And stay tuned as we employ our own tomorrowminds here at CRAFTED... there are some big changes to the show, including a new name, coming this month!---Featured voices:Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman, Partner at BCG, former CPO of BetterUp, and co-author, with Martin Seligman, of Tomorrowmind Me (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

The calm of a backyard pool and the chaos of a hotel deck look similar from the waterline—but they run on different rules. We pull back the curtain on why commercial water turns volatile under heavy bather load, how chlorine gets consumed faster than you can pour it, and what it really takes to keep guests safe and inspectors satisfied. From oxidation priorities to daily logs, this is a candid look at the work behind a compliant, open-for-business pool.We talk through the core chemistry differences between residential and commercial service, showing how algae and bacteria drive decisions at home while bather waste dominates in public settings. You'll hear why limited testing once a week works in a backyard but fails in a busy facility, and how ORP and pH automation provide continuous control and defensible data. We unpack the strengths and gaps of CPO training, where facility operations meet code, and where deeper chemistry knowledge fills the holes—covering sanitizer behavior, breakpoint chlorination, combined chlorine, and the pH leverage you need to keep water stable.Then we get practical about business realities: interacting with health inspectors, documenting everything, handling fecal incidents, and responding to late-night calls that can decide whether a pool stays open. We weigh insurance requirements, true pricing for time and risk, and why mixing dozens of residential stops with a few commercial accounts can strain your schedule and cash flow. If you're thinking about adding hotels, apartments, or HOAs, you'll leave with a clearer view of the workload, the liability, and the systems that make it sustainable.• core chemistry goals in residential vs commercial pools  • limits of CPO for deep chemistry and where it helps  • daily testing, logs, and inspector expectations  • using ORP and pH automation for control and proof  • fecal incident response, uptime pressure, and liability  • pricing for risk, insurance needs, and hassle factor  • choosing a business model and on‑site operator support  • why advSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this episode, Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, sits down with Tiffany Graham, MSPO, CPO, LPO, FAAOP(D), to discuss her research on the effectiveness of 3D-printed cranial remolding orthoses (CROs) for infants. Tiffany walks through the evolution of CRO design—from early fabrication techniques to today's innovative 3D-printing approaches—and shares insights from a recent study conducted in Australia. Their conversation highlights key findings showing that 3D-printed CROs are a successful treatment option for cranial deformities, with some head shapes potentially requiring longer intervention. They also explore the practical benefits of 3D-printed devices, including improved ventilation, which may offer meaningful advantages for patients in warmer climates.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Michael Burgess, Chief People Officer at Amey, to unpack what it really takes to build credibility, influence, and impact in HR when you don't start with privilege, pedigree, or permission.Michael shares his journey from leaving school at 16 and working as a farm labourer, to becoming a CPO responsible for people, culture, safety, and operations at scale. Along the way, he explains why hard work consistently beats talent, and why enjoying the work itself is the most underrated driver of long-term performance.Most importantly, he breaks down a deeply practical view of modern HR, why getting the basics right earns you the seat at the table, why listening without action destroys trust, and how widening the talent pool through second-chance hiring, apprenticeships, and prison-to-work pathways is not charity, but smart, future-ready leadership.

In this episode, Uly examines five defining technology signals emerging from Taiwan in 2025—and explains why they matter far beyond local headlines. Rather than viewing Taiwan solely as a semiconductor manufacturing center, this conversation reframes it as a critical capability hub shaping how artificial intelligence systems scale, deploy, and sustain over the next decade. The discussion covers TSMC's USD 100 billion expansion in the United States, NVIDIA's decision to establish its major R&D headquarters in Taipei, and AMD's continued expansion of its R&D footprint in Taiwan. Uly also breaks down the strategic implications of Taiwan's AI Basic Law, as well as the accelerating commercialization of silicon photonics and co-packaged optics (CPO) by leading Taiwanese technology companies. Together, these developments point to a deeper shift: AI's future growth is increasingly constrained not by models alone, but by infrastructure, hardware integration, regulation, and long-term system design. This episode offers investors, founders, and technology leaders a clearer framework for understanding why Taiwan plays a central role in the global AI roadmap—and why the AI era cannot scale without it. 本集深入解析 2025 年來自臺灣的五項關鍵科技訊號，說明這些發展為何不只是區域新聞，而是正在影響全球 AI 擴展路徑的重要因素。本集重新定位臺灣的角色，從單一的半導體製造重鎮，轉向支撐 AI 長期發展的核心能力基地。 內容涵蓋台積電在美國規模達 1,000 億美元的投資布局、NVIDIA 將重要研發總部設於台北、AMD 持續擴大在臺灣的研發投入，同時也討論《AI 基本法》對產業與技術治理的影響，以及臺灣大型科技公司加速推動矽光子與 CPO 商業化的進展。 這些訊號共同指向一個更深層的轉變：AI 的成長瓶頸，已不再只是模型能力，而是來自硬體整合、基礎設施、制度設計與長期系統規劃。本集提供投資人、創辦人與產業決策者一個清楚視角，理解為何臺灣在全球 AI 發展中占據關鍵位置，以及 AI 時代為何無法在沒有臺灣的情況下持續擴展。

A scheme intended to be the solution to long-standing traffic congestion in North Clare has been branded a "waste of taxpayers' money". Judicial review proceedings in relation to the Ennistymon Inner Relief Road have reached a conclusion in the High Court, paving the way for the progression of the scheme. The project involves the construction of a new bridge in Ennistymon across the Cullenagh River, approximately 80 metres upstream of the existing Michael Conway Bridge. In September 2022, An Bórd Pleanála approved Clare County Council's Compulsory Purchase Order to acquire lands and buildings necessary for the construction of the bridge. The plans hit a stumbling block in November of that year, however, as a judicial review was sought and this effectively brought the project to a standstill. Almost three years later, in October of this year, the High Court dismissed the application for leave to bring a judicial review against the CPO. With the proceedings now having concluded with the mutual consent of all parties, the development can finally go ahead. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty says those affected by construction will be contacted by the local authority in the near future. The conversation around a solution to traffic congestion at Blake's Corner has spanned several decades and has often been contentious. A campaign has been led in recent years by a group named 'Save Ennistymon Heritage' to prevent any damage being caused to the listed buildings of Blake's and Linnane's. Donogh O'Loghlin, who runs a drapers on Lahinch's main street, believes the proposed scheme will create more bottlenecks.

What does it take to build truly product-driven engineering teams? In this episode, Matt Watson — founder and CEO of Full Scale and author of Product Driven — joins Lily and Randy to challenge the longstanding silos between product and engineering. Drawing on 25+ years of experience and four tech ventures, Matt makes the case for why developers need more than just code to care about: they need context, ownership, and clarity.From redefining “done” to the evolving role of AI in software teams, this conversation dives into how product leaders can foster a culture where engineers aren't just implementers, but co-creators of customer value.Chapters0:00 – Why “no feedback” is a warning sign, not success1:46 – Matt's journey: from developer to founder2:58 – Thinking outside the code: how the book Product Driven started4:50 – Why many engineers don't think about the customer5:57 – The rise of product managers and the walling off of engineers6:56 – Redefining the role of PMs in cross-functional teams9:01 – Metrics, measurement, and the illusion of progress10:57 – Ownership as the root of productivity13:04 – Code monkeys, culture, and killing creativity14:55 – Communicating context: five minutes that save weeks17:04 – AI and the changing definition of developer productivity20:32 – External value vs internal tech debt22:48 – The Product Driven model: Vision, Focus, Clarity, Shared Ownership, Courage27:08 – Why courage is the starting point for changeOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we take a closer look at the top three AI-powered scams threatening small, mid-sized, and large businesses leading into 2026. With cyber fraud on the rise, attacks are becoming that much more sophisticated, making it harder to spot. AI tools are giving scammers new and creative ways of obtaining the info they need to do damage, using AI to impersonate employees, clone voices, and exploit rapid AI adoption.According to recent research, 90% of U.S. companies were hit by cyber fraud in 2024, and AI-enabled attacks — including deepfakes and voice cloning — surged 118% year-over-year. While businesses are learning how to leverage AI, attackers are becoming even quicker at weaponizing it. But we have you covered. Erick speaks with cybersecurity expert Sanny Liao (co-founder & CPO of Fable Security) to unpack:How synthetic identities and “fake employees” infiltrate organizations — appearing on résumés, IDs, even video calls;Why AI-driven social engineering and voice-phishing are now far more effective than legacy scams;How insecure AI adoption is opening new vulnerabilities inside companies fast-adopting automation and code-generation tools.Tune in to hear real-world stories and walk away with concrete steps to protect your business.

In this episode, Prerna Singh, CPTO at Avaaz, walks us through how AI is reshaping the way we prototype, learn and build digital products. Rather than replacing teams or skipping straight to production, she argues that AI shines when used as a “thought partner” to accelerate early‑stage experimentation. Through her own journey building a community platform on weekends, she demonstrates how tools like ChatGPT, Lovable (and later Claude / Replet) and Figma AI enabled her to move from blank page to clickable prototype in hours — while retaining the human insight, iteration and context that underpin good product work. The conversation reframes common assumptions about “fast‑AI = bypass human work,” and instead proposes a balanced adoption path: start in “sandbox mode,” learn and play — before graduating to “architect mode” where the real value to business begins.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & AI's impact on product cycles01:43 – Meet Prerna Singh: her background in product and community building03:50 – The community problem: logistics over connection05:11 – Turning to AI to solve her own problem06:50 – What AI can't do: user insight and human judgment08:08 – From waterfall to short-cycle prototyping10:54 – Using ChatGPT as a Socratic thought partner13:07 – Working solo vs team: where AI fits17:17 – From prompt to prototype: using Lovable19:06 – Iterating with Figma AI and other tools23:00 – Real feedback from real users25:02 – Creating a feedback knowledge base with AI26:16 – AI vs design sprints: same principles, new toolsOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

What if the fastest way to grow your career isn't a straight climb but a series of smart, sideways moves that sharpen your empathy and judgment?  In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Catherine Wong, COO and CPO at Entrata, to unpack how she scales products and people by shaping cultures where every voice is invited, and the best ideas surface early. From engineering during the dot-com downturn to leading global teams through acquisitions and hypergrowth, Catherine shares the habits that turn uncertainty into momentum: practice your voice, ask for real feedback, and reward behaviors that build trust.We go deep on how product and operations intersect when you're building an operating system for real estate. Catherine explains why diverse perspectives improve outcomes and how leaders can intentionally signal what matters by recognizing thoughtful execution, not just loud opinions. Her take on the future of work is refreshingly actionable: AI changes the “how,” not the “why.” Whether you specialize or stay broad, treat curiosity like a muscle. Run small experiments, unlearn out-of-date tactics, and stay anchored to clear business outcomes.You'll hear practical frameworks for deciding under ambiguity. widen inputs, seek data, welcome dissent, and iterate with agility. Catherine also breaks down visibility tactics for women who are competent but overlooked: volunteer for updates, lead slices of complex projects, and request precise post-meeting feedback. Her story of integrating a UK acquisition while battling imposter syndrome reveals a simple truth: courage plus clarity compounds into trust, scope, and impact.If you care about culture design, product leadership, AI fluency, and building a resilient career in tech, this conversation is a blueprint you can use today.

Send us a textFeeling stuck with a stale listing or worried the market has passed you by? We get real about what works when prices soften and inventory rises, sharing five proven strategies that put you back in control: assumable mortgages, owner financing, lifestyle-focused walking tour videos, Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) listings, and a full market cash offer for speed and certainty. This is a practical playbook for homeowners who want results without gambling on spring or chasing myths about what buyers want.We break down how assumable FHA and VA loans can transform your marketing by advertising a below-market rate, why VA entitlement must be handled with care, and how to get lenders to confirm assumability. Then we dive into owner financing, dispelling the stigma and showing how strong buyers use flexible terms to move quickly, often putting enough down to clear liens and jump-start your plans. Next, we show you how a walking tour video—honest, detailed, and human—does what slideshows can't: it tells the story of your home and sparks real emotional engagement from out-of-area buyers.The heart of our approach is CPO. By inspecting upfront and disclosing everything, you cut contract fallout, avoid mid-deal renegotiations, and protect your price. We talk numbers, expectations, and why a few hundred dollars can shield you from costly surprises. If certainty is your top priority, we outline our full market cash offer—no repairs, no showings, just a clear path to closing. Finally, we explain the market cycle and why waiting often means more competition, not better prices. Serious buyers don't need spring blooms, and winter views can work in your favor.Want tailored guidance from a team that's navigated upturns and downturns across the country?

C dans l'air du 2 décembre 2025 - Budget: c'est maintenant que tout se joue!Alors que les débats sur la fiscalité font rage au Parlement, un rapport publié ce lundi par le Conseil des prélèvements obligatoires, un organisme indépendant rattaché à la Cour des comptes, jette un nouveau pavé dans la mare de la taxation du patrimoine.Dès son préambule, les experts du CPO partent d'un constat déjà largement documenté par les études économiques : le patrimoine progresse plus rapidement que les revenus, et il se concentre entre les mains de peu d'individus. Ainsi, les 10 % les plus riches détiennent 60 % du patrimoine total. Surtout, 1 % de la population détient 27 % de la richesse nationale.En réponse, ils défendent la nécessité d'une refonte globale de l'imposition du patrimoine, dont le montant total a atteint 113,2 milliards d'euros en 2024, l'un des plus élevés des pays membres de l'OCDE. Pour cela, ils mettent sur la table deux scénarios pour taxer les plus hauts patrimoines. Ces derniers proposent notamment de taxer les holdings et les liquidités qui s'y trouvent lorsqu'elles sont restées longtemps intouchées, les biens professionnels au moment de la transmission, une refonte du pacte Dutreil ou encore la création d'un impôt différentiel sur la fortune personnelle, s'inspirant du principe de l'impôt plancher défendu par Gabriel Zucman. Par ailleurs, les hauts patrimoines ne seraient pas les seuls concernés. Selon les Sages de la rue Cambon, l'épargne réglementée, c'est-à-dire les Livrets A ou les livrets de développement durable et solidaire (LDDS), devrait être réduite. Ils préconisent aussi « un rapprochement plus marqué de l'imposition des locations meublées et non meublées », ainsi qu'une « diminution des droits de mutation à titre onéreux », aussi appelés frais de notaire.Autant de pistes préconisées par le Conseil des prélèvements obligatoires qui pourraient raviver les débats alors que les discussions sur le projet de loi de financement de la Sécu recommencent ce mardi dans l'hémicycle de l'Assemblée, pour une seconde lecture. Le Premier ministre a reçu lundi, à Matignon, les responsables socialistes. À l'orée de dix jours cruciaux, chacun fait monter la pression sur l'autre. Le patron d'Horizons, Édouard Philippe, ce mardi matin, a ouvert la voie à un vote contre ou une abstention lors du bureau politique de sa formation.En décembre 2024, c'est sur le budget de la Sécu que Michel Barnier était tombé. Un an après, un vote en bonne et due forme, semble extrêmement complexe et certains commencent à évoquer l'idée d'un éventuel recours au 49.3. Mais le Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu, l'avait annoncé début octobre, répondant à une exigence du Parti socialiste : il n'utilisera pas l'article 49.3 de la Constitution pour faire passer les textes budgétaires à l'Assemblée nationale.Alors, le gouvernement pourrait-il finalement avoir recours à l'article 49.3 de la Constitution pour faire adopter l'un de ses textes budgétaires ? Que se passe-t-il si l'Assemblée nationale n'adopte pas le budget ? Quelles conséquences pour les finances publiques et les entreprises ? La construction du budget 2026 inquiète nombre de chefs d'entreprise, dont certains sont confrontés à d'importants problèmes de trésorerie du fait des retards de paiement dans le secteur public, notamment du côté des collectivités territoriales.

In this episode of Pharmacy Innovators, host Jim Jorgenson sits down with Jim Jacobsohn, Chief Growth Officer at Visante, and Joelle Hall, Director of Infusion Strategy, to explore how infusion services are becoming a strategic lever for hospitals and health systems. The conversation highlights how shifting care delivery models, increasing consumer expectations, payer pressures, and new market disruptors are reshaping infusion strategy—requiring health systems to rethink how and where care is delivered across hospital outpatient, AIS, and home infusion settings. The guests discuss why pharmacy is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation and how connecting infusion services to enterprise strategy can drive improved access, financial sustainability, and better patient and provider experiences. They outline critical success components—including footprint design, payer contracting, revenue cycle alignment, analytics, and patient experience—and offer insights on partnership models and return-on-investment expectations. Whether you're a CPO, CSO, CFO, or health system strategist, this episode provides a practical and forward-looking view of the infusion landscape and how to compete in a rapidly evolving market.

In this episode of The Product Experience, host Randy Silver sits down with product veteran John Cutler to explore why creating great products remains one of the hardest things organisations do. They dive into why so many companies adopt off‑the‑shelf models (“Spotify”, “SAFe”, etc) and still struggle, and how the secret often lies not in what you build but how you build it—specifically the game you design for how you work.Chapters00:00 — The stigma around “how you work”00:54 — Introducing John Cutler (again)01:25 — What John's building at Dotwork02:46 — From fun to formal: doing discovery at scale04:04 — Why process became a bad word05:10 — The “cavalier PM” mindset06:28 — Empowered teams vs. harsh realities08:00 — What great pockets of practice have in common09:03 — Managing up vs. doing the right thing10:24 — Playing the game vs. designing the game11:20 — What makes a great internal game12:33 — Defining success: thriving, surviving, progressing13:46 — Environmental design: why leaders hesitate15:10 — Making intentional design less intimidating16:42 — Tools, rituals, and the power of checkpoints18:23 — The behaviour design playbook20:41 — Removing blockers: access, repetition, reflectionWe're taking Community Questions for The Product Experience podcast.Got a burning product question for Lily, Randy, or an upcoming guest?

She's one of the smartest people I've ever met on learning enterprise sales, and in this follow-up to our first chat two years ago (covering the zero to $1 million ARR founder-led sales phase), we focus on the skills founders need to learn to go from $1M to $10M ARR.We discuss:1. Why the “mid-market” doesn't exist2. Why tier-one logos like Stripe and Tesla counterintuitively make the best early customers3. The dangers of pricing your product at $10K-$20K4.
