A president is kidnapped, the government remains, and we're told it isn't regime change. We pull back the curtain on what our guest calls “regime changeover,” a strategy that uses spectacle and lawfare to force leverage without admitting occupation. From sanctions that harden national unity to a reworked indictment against Nicolás Maduro that quietly retreats from early cartel claims, we dissect how narratives are built, sold, and then reshaped when facts don't fit the script. We get specific about why Venezuela resists the usual playbook. The Bolivarian civil-military structure blunts elite-driven coups, and a hybrid economy makes redistribution politics both urgent and volatile. When sanctions stall, pressure shifts to the shadows: covert action, destabilization, and the threat of a managed civil war. But force carries a heavy price. Without the will to occupy, Washington risks isolating itself across Latin America and the Global South while strengthening alternative alliances. That's where heavy crude and strategic minerals enter the story—these aren't just commodities; they're logistical lifelines for militaries and power systems in a world edging toward multipolar confrontation. The regional map matters. Cutting fuel flows to Cuba raises the stakes, inviting Russian or Iranian lifelines and reviving Cold War optics—tankers instead of missiles. Meanwhile, the financial track turns sanctions into profit centers, enabling distressed-asset deals and court-enabled seizures that move wealth under the veneer of legality. At home, executive overreach and headline diplomacy make lasting agreements harder, not easier. Durable deals rely on predictability and trust; tweets and tariffs deliver neither. We close with a clear takeaway: if the policy toolkit is limited to pressure and spectacle, the outcome is shrinking leverage, hardened resistance, and a region looking elsewhere for partners. If this perspective challenges how you've seen Venezuela, Cuba, and U.S. foreign policy, share the episode, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss future deep dives.

In episode #341 of SaaS Metrics School, Ben Murray explains why revenue per FTE is a misleading metric for modern SaaS and AI companies and introduces the ROSE metric (Return on SaaS Employees) as a more accurate way to measure durable scaling. Ben walks through how ROSE removes labor-cost bias, incorporates contractors and Agentic AI spend, and directly connects people investment to recurring revenue generation. He also shares practical benchmark ranges and explains how founders and finance teams should use ROSE when budgeting and forecasting for 2026. Resources Mentioned ROSE Metric Template: https://www.thesaascfo.com/saas-rose-metric/ ROSE Metric Bootcamp: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/offers/rJhZ6VdM What You'll Learn Why revenue per FTE breaks down in global and AI-driven teams How the ROSE metric improves capital allocation decisions What costs should be included in ROSE ROSE benchmark ranges and how they map to profitability and cash burn How to interpret ROSE differently based on growth stage and company goals How to forecast ROSE using trailing and forward-looking time periods Why It Matters People and AI spend are the largest investments on a SaaS or AI P&L ROSE removes wage and geography bias from efficiency analysis The metric directly ties recurring revenue to capital deployed ROSE highlights whether headcount and AI investment are creating leverage Improving ROSE over time is critical for durable, profitable scaling Boards and investors care about efficiency trends, not just growth rates

Nouveauté : Brieuc lance une lettre hebdomadaire : Adaptable(s). Abonnez-vous pour recevoir des outils, principes et retours d'expériences pour permettre aux dirigeantes et dirigeants d'entreprises d'anticiper les risques, notamment physiques, du 21ème siècle.Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Bonjour à toutes et à tous. J'espère que vous allez bien.Est-ce que vous aussi, vous entendez un peu le son des cloches ? Les chants qui finalement mettent du baume au cœur et enfin, les couleurs rouges et vertes qui embellissent nos maisons et les rues.Alors tout ça, ça veut dire qu'une seule chose : la période des fêtes de fin d'année, finalement, elle est ouverte.Et quoi de mieux pour cette saison que de se fixer de bonnes résolutions ou bien, tout simplement, de revenir un petit peu aux bases et de se poser les bonnes questions ? Mon papa me racontait il y a peu qu'en 2025, bien avant encore, ils rencontraient des responsables d'entreprises déconcertés et perdus lorsqu'ils se sont rendu compte que leur modèle économique, finalement, n'était nullement construit pour s'adapter aux limites planétaires.Alors bien qu'en 2035, il est totalement normal, voire logique, d'intégrer ces notions, mon papa a dû m'expliquer quand même que les choses se passaient totalement différemment à son époque.Beaucoup d'entreprises ne se posaient pas les bonnes questions et n'avaient jamais anticipé les chocs à venir.Il m'a notamment évoqué le cas de La Poste et de son projet avec sa filiale, Nouvelle Attitude, où à l'époque, ils ont su diversifier leur activité pour améliorer leur pérennité. Il en parle justement dans sa newsletter Adaptable, quand votre business model n'entre pas dans les limites planétaires.Elle est disponible aussi sur circulab.com alors je vous invite vraiment à aller la découvrir et surtout découvrir cet exemple qu'il évoque. Sur ces quelques mots, je vous souhaite une bonne lecture si vous allez justement lire un petit peu la lettre de mon papa et je vous souhaite surtout de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année.Et puis je vous dis à 2036 ou plutôt, 2026 pour vous.Joséphine, depuis 2035.

En décembre 2022, l'Ademe a publié un rapport sur les fêtes de fin d'année, ce qui englobe Noel et le jour de l'an.Outre le fait de collecter les chiffres clés, l'objectif de l'Ademe était d'évaluer les impacts environnementaux des consommations liées aux fêtes de fin d'année mais aussi identifier des tendances de consommation responsable.Ils ont passé au crible les différents postes : cadeaux, transports, décoration, alimentation et les déchets.Alors que faut-il retenir de cette étude ?

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Vijay Rajendran, investor and venture builder at gAI Ventures, UC Berkeley instructor, and author of the bestselling book The Funding Framework. Vijay brings a deeply grounded perspective on how the next generation of AI companies will actually be built, not through hype or speed alone, but through domain expertise, thoughtful leadership, and disciplined execution.The conversation explores why domain experts now have a growing advantage over pure technologists, how venture studios are evolving in an AI-first world, and what truly separates fundable AI startups from products that will be replaced by the next model release. Vijay shares insights from working with hundreds of founders, including why verticalized AI, workflow integration, and right-sized markets matter more than ever.They also dive into leadership transitions founders must make, common early-stage execution mistakes, and why fundraising is far more about listening than pitching. Drawing from his own journey as a founder and investor, Vijay emphasizes customer empathy, coachability, and falling in love with the problem rather than the solution. This episode is a must-listen for founders, operators, and tech leaders building durable companies in the age of AI.TakeawaysFounders are often poor predictors of which startups will succeed, even within their own cohorts.Exceptional companies start with a “secret” insight about how an industry truly works.Domain expertise is becoming more valuable than pure technical skill as AI commoditizes development.The strongest AI startups are verticalized and embedded directly into existing workflows.Markets should be big enough to matter, but small enough that Big Tech won't prioritize them.AI creates leverage by removing tedious work and amplifying human judgment and relationships.“Rip and replace” products face long sales cycles; bolt-on tools win faster adoption.Early traction can be misleading. Durable demand matters more than initial excitement.Founders must shift from doing everything to enabling others as the company grows.Fundraising success comes from dialogue and listening, not perfect pitch decks.Coachability and customer empathy are long-term founder advantages.The best founders fall in love with the problem, not their first solution.Chapters00:00 The Future of AI Startups02:00 What Predicts Founder Success04:30 Domain Experts vs. Technologists07:00 Where AI Is Creating Real Value10:30 Using AI to Free Humans13:00 What Makes an AI Idea Defensible17:00 How Modern Venture Studios Operate22:00 Choosing the Right Technical Partner27:30 Founder Mindset Shifts29:30 Common Early-Stage Mistakes33:00 Rethinking Fundraising41:00 Underrated AI Opportunities45:00 One Message for FoundersVijay Rajendran's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/vijayarajendran/The Funding Framework: Secure Startup Funding With Confidencehttps://a.co/d/jlwaiNvResources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

My guest today is Henry Ellenbogen, founder and Managing Partner of Durable Capital Partners. Henry built his reputation at T. Rowe Price, where he led the New Horizons Fund and turned it into one of the best-performing small-cap growth portfolios in the country. In 2019, he left to start Durable. His philosophy is grounded in a simple belief that great investing is about understanding people and change. Henry has spent his career studying the rare 1% of companies that drive nearly all long-term returns . Durable's edge comes from being able to tell the difference between a company that is failing and one that is transforming. Henry often talks about “Act II” teams – founders who take the lessons from their first company and apply them to a new frontier. Durable itself is his Act II. In our latest Colossus profile, Managing Editor Dom Cooke traces Henry's story and specifically how he became one of the most influential investors of the 21st century, having learned from founders like Jeff Bezos and John Malone in the early part of his career. I always hear the same thing from founders who've met Henry: “he understood my business faster than anyone”. The thing that sticks with me from our conversation and Dom's profile is just how much he loves investing.

Liverpool a réalisé un grand coup en s'imposant à Giuseppe Meazza face à l'Inter Milan. Une victoire 1-0 grâce à un penalty de Szoboszlai dans les dernières minutes mais les Reds ont surtout rassuré dans le jeu. Plus entreprenants et plus à l'aise dans le système trouvé par Arne Slot, les coéquipiers d'Hugo Ekitike ont montré qu'ils pouvaient retrouver des sensations collectives. Sans Salah, ce réveil est-il durable ? Arne Slot a-t-il trouvé la solution tactique ? Sportivement, la page Salah est-elle à tourner ? Monaco a réalisé également une superbe opération en l'emportant contre Galatasaray au Stade Louis II. Avec un top 24 quasi assuré, la campagne est-elle déjà réussie ? Les Monégasques sont-ils différents en Ligue des champions ?

Every few years, the world of product management goes through a phase shift. When I started at Microsoft in the early 2000s, we shipped Office in boxes. Product cycles were long, engineering was expensive, and user research moved at the speed of snail mail. Fast forward a decade and the cloud era reset the speed at which we build, measure, and learn. Then mobile reshaped everything we thought we knew about attention, engagement, and distribution.Now we are standing at the edge of another shift. Not a small shift, but a tectonic one. Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of product creation, product discovery, product expectations, and product careers.To help make sense of this moment, I hosted a panel of world class product leaders on the Fireside PM podcast:• Rami Abu-Zahra, Amazon product leader across Kindle, Books, and Prime Video• Todd Beaupre, Product Director at YouTube leading Home and Recommendations• Joe Corkery, CEO and cofounder of Jaide Health • Tom Leung (me), Partner at Palo Alto Foundry• Lauren Nagel, VP Product at Mezmo• David Nydegger, Chief Product Officer at OvivaThese are leaders running massive consumer platforms, high stakes health tech, and fast moving developer tools. The conversation was rich, honest, and filled with specific examples. This post summarizes the discussion, adds my own reflections, and offers a practical guide for early and mid career PMs who want to stay relevant in a world where AI is redefining what great product management looks like.Table of Contents* What AI Cannot Do and Why PM Judgment Still Matters* The New AI Literacy: What PMs Must Know by 2026* Why Building AI Products Speeds Up Some Cycles and Slows Down Others* Whether the PM, Eng, UX Trifecta Still Stands* The Biggest Risks AI Introduces Into Product Development* Actionable Advice for Early and Mid Career PMs* My Takeaways and What Really Matters Going Forward* Closing Thoughts and Coaching Practice1. What AI Cannot Do and Why PM Judgment Still MattersWe opened the panel with a foundational question. As AI becomes more capable every quarter, what is left for humans to do. Where do PMs still add irreplaceable value. It is the question every PM secretly wonders.Todd put it simply: “At the end of the day, you have to make some judgment calls. We are not going to turn that over anytime soon.”This theme came up again and again. AI is phenomenal at synthesizing, drafting, exploring, and narrowing. But it does not have conviction. It does not have lived experience. It does not feel user pain. It does not carry responsibility.Joe from Jaide Health captured it perfectly when he said: “AI cannot feel the pain your users have. It can help meet their goals, but it will not get you that deep understanding.”There is still no replacement for sitting with a frustrated healthcare customer who cannot get their clinical data into your system, or a creator on YouTube who feels the algorithm is punishing their art, or a devops engineer staring at an RCA output that feels 20 percent off.Every PM knows this feeling: the moment when all signals point one way, but your gut tells you the data is incomplete or misleading. This is the craft that AI does not have.Why judgment becomes even more important in an AI worldDavid, who runs product at a regulated health company, said something incredibly important: “Knowing what great looks like becomes more essential, not less. The PM's that thrive in AI are the ones with great product sense.”This is counterintuitive for many. But when the operational work becomes automated, the differentiation shifts toward taste, intuition, sequencing, and prioritization.Lauren asked the million dollar question. “How are we going to train junior PMs if AI is doing the legwork. Who teaches them how to think.”This is a profound point. If AI closes the gap between junior and senior PMs in execution tasks, the difference will emerge almost entirely in judgment. Knowing how to probe user problems. Knowing when a feature is good enough. Knowing which tradeoffs matter. Knowing which flaw is fatal and which is cosmetic.AI is incredible at writing a PRD. AI is terrible at knowing whether the PRD is any good.Which means the future PM becomes more strategic, more intuitive, more customer obsessed, and more willing to make thoughtful bets under uncertainty.2. The New AI Literacy: What PMs Must Know by 2026I asked the panel what AI literacy actually means for PMs. Not the hype. Not the buzzwords. The real work.Instead of giving gimmicky answers, the discussion converged on a clear set of skills that PMs must master.Skill 1: Understanding context engineeringDavid laid this out clearly: “Knowing what LMS are good at and what they are not good at, and knowing how to give them the right context, has become a foundational PM skill.”Most PMs think prompt engineering is about clever phrasing. In reality, the future is about context engineering. Feeding models the right data. Choosing the right constraints. Deciding what to ignore. Curating inputs that shape outputs in reliable ways.Context engineering is to AI product development what Figma was to collaborative design. If you cannot do it, you are not going to be effective.Skill 2: Evals, evals, evalsRami said something that resonated with the entire panel: “Last year was all about prompts. This year is all about evals.”He is right.• How do you build a golden dataset.• How do you evaluate accuracy.• How do you detect drift.• How do you measure hallucination rates.• How do you combine UX evals with model evals.• How do you decide what good looks like.• How do you define safe versus unsafe boundaries.AI evaluation is now a core PM responsibility. Not exclusively. But PMs must understand what engineers are testing for, what failure modes exist, and how to design test sets that reflect the real world.Lauren said her PMs write evals side by side with engineering. That is where the world is going.Skill 3: Knowing when to trust AI output and when to override itTodd noted: “It is one thing to get an answer that sounds good. It is another thing to know if it is actually good.”This is the heart of the role. AI can produce strategic recommendations that look polished, structured, and wise. But the real question is whether they are grounded in reality, aligned with your constraints, and consistent with your product vision.A PM without the ability to tell real insight from confident nonsense will be replaced by someone who can.Skill 4: Understanding the physics of model changesThis one surprised many people, but it was a recurring point.Rami noted: “When you upgrade a model, the outputs can be totally different. The evals start failing. The experience shifts.”PMs must understand:• Models get deprecated• Models drift• Model updates can break well tuned prompts• API pricing has real COGS implications• Latency varies• Context windows vary• Some tasks need agents, some need RAG, some need a small finetuned modelThis is product work now. The PM of 2026 must know these constraints as well as a PM of the cloud era understood database limits or API rate limits.Skill 5: How to construct AI powered prototypes in hours, not weeksIt now takes one afternoon to build something meaningful. Zero code required. Prompt, test, refine. Whether you use Replit, Cursor, Vercel, or sandboxed agents, the speed is shocking.But this makes taste and problem selection even more important. The future PM must be able to quickly validate whether a concept is worth building beyond the demo stage.3. Why Building AI Products Speeds Up Some Cycles and Slows Down OthersThis part of the conversation was fascinating because people expected AI to accelerate everything. The panel had a very different view.Fast: Prototyping and concept validationLauren described how her teams can build working versions of an AI powered Root Cause Analysis feature in days, test it with customers, and get directional feedback immediately.“You can think bigger because the cost of trying things is much lower,” she said.For founders, early PMs, and anyone validating hypotheses, this is liberating. You can test ten ideas in a week. That used to take a quarter.Slow: Productionizing AI featuresThe surprising part is that shipping the V1 of an AI feature is slower than most expect.Joe noted: “You can get prototypes instantly. But turning that into a real product that works reliably is still hard.”Why. Because:• You need evals.• You need monitoring.• You need guardrails.• You need safety reviews.• You need deterministic parts of the workflow.• You need to manage COGS.• You need to design fallbacks.• You need to handle unpredictable inputs.• You need to think about hallucination risk.• You need new UI surfaces for non deterministic outputs.Lauren said bluntly: “Vibe coding is fast. Moving that vibe code to production is still a four month process.”This should be printed on a poster in every AI startup office.Very Slow: Iterating on AI powered featuresAnother counterintuitive point. Many teams ship a great V1 but struggle to improve it significantly afterward.David said their nutrition AI feature launched well but: “We struggled really hard to make it better. Each iteration was easy to try but difficult to improve in a meaningful way.”Why is iteration so difficult.Because model improvements may not translate directly into UX improvements. Users need consistency. Drift creates churn. Small changes in context or prompts can cause large changes in behavior.Teams are learning a hard truth: AI powered features do not behave like typical deterministic product flows. They require new iteration muscles that most orgs do not yet have.4. The PM, Eng, UX Trifecta in the AI EraI asked whether the classic PM, Eng, UX triad is still the right model. The audience was expecting disagreement. The panel was surprisingly aligned.The trifecta is not going anywhereRami put it simply: “We still need experts in all three domains to raise the bar.”Joe added: “AI makes it possible for PMs to do more technical work. But it does not replace engineering. Same for design.”AI blurs the edges of the roles, but it does not collapse them. In fact, each role becomes more valuable because the work becomes more abstract.• PMs focus on judgment, sequencing, evaluation, and customer centric problem framing• Engineers focus on agents, systems, architecture, guardrails, latency, and reliability• Designers focus on dynamic UX, non deterministic UX patterns, and new affordances for AI outputsWhat does changeAI makes the PM-Eng relationship more intense. The backbone of AI features is a combination of model orchestration, evaluation, prompting, and context curation. PMs must be tighter than ever with engineering to design these systems.David noted that his teams focus more on individual talents. Some PMs are great at context engineering. Some designers excel at polishing AI generated layouts. Some engineers are brilliant at prompt chaining. AI reveals strengths quickly.The trifecta remains. The skill distribution within it evolves.5. The Biggest Risks AI Introduces Into Product DevelopmentWhen we asked what scares PMs most about AI, the conversation became blunt and honest. Risk 1: Loss of user trustLauren warned: “If people keep shipping low quality AI features, user trust in AI erodes. And then your good AI product suffers from the skepticism.”This is very real. Many early AI features across industries are low quality, gimmicky, or unreliable. Users quickly learn to distrust these experiences.Which means PMs must resist the pressure to ship before the feature is ready.Risk 2: Skill atrophyTodd shared a story that hit home for many PMs. “Junior folks just want to plug in the prompt and take whatever the AI gives them. That is a recipe for having no job later.”PMs who outsource their thinking to AI will lose their judgment. Judgment cannot be regained easily.This is the silent career killer.Risk 3: Safety hazards in sensitive domainsDavid was direct: “If we have one unsafe output, we have to shut the feature off. We cannot afford even small mistakes.”In healthcare, finance, education, and legal industries, the tolerance for error is near zero. AI must be monitored relentlessly. Human in the loop systems are mandatory. The cycles are slower but the stakes are higher.Risk 4: The high bar for AI compared to humansJoe said something I have thought about for years: “AI is held to a much higher standard than human decision making. Humans make mistakes constantly, but we forgive them. AI makes one mistake and it is unacceptable.”This slows adoption in certain industries and creates unrealistic expectations.Risk 5: Model deprecation and instabilityRami described a real problem AI PMs face: “Models get deprecated faster than they get replaced. The next model is not always GA. Outputs change. Prompts break.”This creates product instability that PMs must anticipate and design around.Risk 6: Differentiation becomes hardI shared this perspective because I see so many early stage startups struggle with it.If your whole product is a wrapper around an LLM, competitors will copy you in a week. The real differentiation will not come from using AI. It will come from how deeply you understand the customer, how you integrate AI with proprietary data, and how you create durable workflows.6. Actionable Advice for Early and Mid Career PMsThis was one of my favorite parts of the panel because the advice was humble, practical, and immediately useful.A. Develop deep user empathy. This will become your biggest differentiator.Lauren said it clearly: “Maintain your empathy. Understand the pain your user really has.”AI makes execution cheap. It makes insight valuable.If you can articulate user pain precisely.If you can differentiate surface friction from underlying need.If you can see around corners.If you can prototype solutions and test them in hours.If you can connect dots between what AI can do and what users need.You will thrive.Tactical steps:• Sit in on customer support calls every week.• Watch 10 user sessions for every feature you own.• Talk to customers until patterns emerge.• Ask “why” five times in every conversation.• Maintain a user pain log and update it constantly.B. Become great at context engineeringThis will matter as much as SQL mattered ten years ago.Action steps:• Practice writing prompts with structured context blocks.• Build a library of prompts that work for your product.• Study how adding, removing, or reordering context changes output.• Learn RAG patterns.• Learn when structured data beats embeddings.• Learn when smaller local models outperform big ones.C. Learn eval frameworksThis is non negotiable.You need to know:• Precision vs recall tradeoffs• How to build golden datasets• How to design scenario based evals for UX• How to test for hallucination• How to monitor drift• How to set quality thresholds• How to build dashboards that reflect real world input distributionsYou do not need to write the code.You do need to define the eval strategy.D. Strengthen your product senseYou cannot outsource product taste.Todd said it best: “Imagine asking AI to generate 20 percent growth for you. It will not tell you what great looks like.”To strengthen your product sense:• Review the best products weekly.• Take screenshots of great UX patterns.• Map user flows from apps you admire.• Break products down into primitives.• Ask yourself why a product decision works.• Predict what great would look like before you design it.The PMs who thrive will be the ones who can recognize magic when they see it.E. Stay curiousRami's closing advice was simple and perfect: “Stay curious. Keep learning. It never gets old.”AI changes monthly. The PM who is excited by new ideas will outperform the PM who clings to old patterns.Practical habits:• Read one AI research paper summary each week.• Follow evaluation and model updates from major vendors.• Build at least one small AI prototype a month.• Join AI PM communities.• Teach juniors what you learn. Nothing accelerates mastery faster.F. Embrace velocity and side projectsTodd said that some of his biggest career breakthroughs came from solving problems on the side.This is more true now than ever.If you have an idea, you can build an MVP over a weekend. If it solves a real problem, someone will notice.G. Stay close to engineeringNot because you need to code, but because AI features require tighter PM engineering collaboration.Learn enough to be dangerous:• How embeddings work• How vector stores behave• What latency tradeoffs exist• How agents chain tasks• How model versioning works• How context limits shape UX• Why some prompts blow up API costsIf you can speak this language, you will earn trust and accelerate cycles.H. Understand the business deeplyJoe's advice was timeless: “Know who pays you and how much they pay. Solve real problems and know the business model.”PMs who understand unit economics, COGS, pricing, and funnel dynamics will stand out.7. Tom's Takeaways and What Really Matters Going ForwardI ended the recording by sharing what I personally believe after moderating this discussion and working closely with a variety of AI teams over the past 2 years.Judgment becomes the most valuable PM skillAs AI gets better at analysis, synthesis, and execution, your value shifts to:• Choosing the right problem• Sequencing decisions• Making 55 45 calls• Understanding user pain• Making tradeoffs• Deciding when good is good enough• Defining success• Communicating vision• Influencing the orgAgents can write specs.LLMs can produce strategies.But only humans can choose the right one and commit.Learning speed becomes a competitive advantageI said this on the panel and I believe it more every month.Because of AI, you now have:• Infinite coaches• Infinite mentors• Infinite experts• Infinite documentation• Infinite learning loopsA PM who learns slowly will not survive the next decade. Curiosity, empathy, and velocity will separate great from goodMany panelists said versions of this. The common pattern was:• Understand users deeply• Combine multiple tools creatively• Move quickly• Learn constantlyThe future rewards generalists with taste, speed, and emotional intelligence.Differentiation requires going beyond wrapper appsThis is one of my biggest concerns for early stage founders. If your entire product is a wrapper around a model, you are vulnerable.Durable value will come from:• Proprietary data• Proprietary workflows• Deep domain insight• Organizational trust• Distribution advantage• Safety and reliability• Integration with existing systemsAI is a component, not a moat.8. Closing ThoughtsHosting this panel made me more optimistic about the future of product management. Not because AI will not change the job. It already has. But because the fundamental craft remains alive.Product management has always been about understanding people, making decisions with incomplete information, telling compelling stories, and guiding teams through ambiguity and being right often.AI accelerates the craft. It amplifies the best PMs and exposes the weak ones. It rewards curiosity, empathy, velocity, and judgment.If you want tailored support on your PM career, leadership journey, or executive path, I offer 1 on 1 career, executive, and product coaching at tomleungcoaching.com.OK team.

Since Dr Sarah Crowe had her lightbulb idea, and invented her completely mobile, vision testing and glasses kit, then ran a trial in remote Papua New Guinea and started to show the impact her OOXii Vision Kit could have, to medical professionals in India and Vanuatu, she was inundated with positive reaction. Here was a complete system not only offering mobile eye testing, but also durable glasses frames, with prescription lenses in them, were then dispensed on the spot to people in remote or under-served communities, thereby improving their vision right there and then, in their home communities. It was life-changing. A fantastic entrepreneurial idea to fix a massive global problem. But Sarah’s journey with OOXii Global and her mission to help fix the world’s vision has not been without its challenges and significant hurdles along the way.

Leslie welcomes back Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, for a preview of the newly released 2025 'Made in America Holiday Gift Guide.' (link: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/the-2025-made-in-america-holiday-gift-guide/)   This year's guide makes it easier than ever for shoppers to find U.S.-made products and support American workers this holiday season. New polling released with the Gift Guide shows overwhelming demand for locally made goods, with 81% of Americans saying they're as likely or more likely to buy American-made products this year. The vast majority (83%) of shoppers say they would buy more Made in USA goods if these products were more widely available. The Gift Guide bridges that gap, connecting consumers with the craftsmanship, quality and well-paid jobs that come from buying Made in America. In its 12th year, the 2025 Guide features 148 manufacturers and makers from across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. There's an American-made gift for everyone, with finds ranging from model airplane kits and stocking stuffers to jewelry and grills. Shoppers can browse the guide by state or product category, and a new segment this year highlights brick-and-mortar stores specializing in state-made goods for in-person shopping. Additionally, AAM's Made in America Directory spotlights 873 companies and their products that are not featured in this year's Guide. Leslie and Scott highlight five of the companies and their gift offerings for just a taste of the guide.  Here they are: 1 - WicR Have you always wanted to be a plant parent but were too scared you'd forget to water them every day? Fear no more: WicR is a self-watering product that makes it a lot easier. All you have to do is place the WicR at the bottom of your pot, cover it with soil, and place your plant in. Then, after an initial watering, the WicR will self-water your plant for seven to ten days. A game-changer for plant care! 2 -  Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare draws from its surrounding beauty in Cordova, Alaska, to enhance the quality of the products they make there. This company sources glacial minerals and botanicals for gentle but effective formulas, and all its products are vegan and cruelty-free. Its energy-efficient facility operates on 60-80% community hydropower, and the Certified B Corps company prides itself on a commitment to sustainability. Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare donates 2% of its revenues to organizations that protect the Alaskan environment, such as the Copper River Watershed Project.  3 - Made-Plus Footwear The vast majority of footwear today is imported. But Alan Guyan, an alum of Under Armour's shoe division, saw an opportunity to do things differently. That's why he started Made+, a luxury athletic shoe brand based in Annapolis. All the shoes are made with 100% recycled yarn — and that yarn is made from repurposed plastic water bottles. These shoes come in all sorts of designs; they even sell shoes specially designed for pickleball. If you're looking to replace those athletic shoes, Made+ is an incredible choice. (And check out their in-person storefront if you're near Annapolis!) Lastly, be sure to check out AAM's blog post featuring Made+ from last month, where you can find on their website at AmericanManufacturing.org/blog 4 - High Strung Studios For the music lover on your list, High Strung Studios hits all the right notes. This woman-owned business transforms real guitar strings into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry made right here in the USA. Each bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings carries a touch of rhythm and a whole lot of heart, making them perfect for anyone who finds joy in a good song. Thoughtful, unique, and full of holiday cheer, these gifts truly strike a chord. 5 - Cycle Dog Bring some wag-worthy joy to the holidays with Cycle Dog, a woman-owned company in Portland, making eco-friendly gear for dogs who love to play. Every collar, leash, toy and bed is crafted in the USA using recycled materials, keeping millions of inner tubes and bottles out of landfills. Durable, sustainable and made by a team of passionate makers (and their pups), these gifts are perfect for anyone who wants to spoil their dog, spread a little holiday cheer, and do good for the planet all at once. Lastly, Leslie and Scott talk about Project MFG. What's Project MFG?  Think Top Chef — but for welders, machinists and engineers. Ray Dick, founder of Project MFG and creator of the YouTube reality show 'Clash of Trades,' is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers through hands-on competition and community engagement. AAM's website is AmericanManufacturing.org and their YouTube channel is youtube.com/@AmericanMfg (where you can watch episode's of AAM's podcast, "The Manufacturing Report") If you want to listen to episodes of "The Manufacturing Report," visit AmericanManufacturing.org/Podcast. Their handles on X and BlueSky are @KeepItMadeInUSA, and @keepitmadeinusa.bsky.social, respectively. Scott's handle on X is @ScottPaulAAM.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the insurrection act has been used at least 20 times starting in 1808. President Trump has to use it because we have Democrats who refuse to follow the law. Right now, we have a Democrat party usurping the Constitution. Governors and cities are not in charge of immigration. They don't have the power to prevent ICE from doing their job. Also, former FBI Director James Comey is a serial liar, leaker, and scoundrel who absconded with government documents, interfered in the 2016 election more than foreign powers, and brought disrepute to the FBI. Comey belongs in court and is lucky to avoid charges for other unethical acts.  The democrat talking point is that acting US attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia prosecuting the Comey case has no prosecutorial experience. But in 1961, President John Kennedy nominated his 35-year-old brother, Robert, to be attorney general.  RFK had no state or federal courtroom experience of any kind. The Democrat controlled Senate confirmed him. Later, Trump announces that “Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly!” The broad parameters of the deal sound very good.  Rep Mike Lawler calls in to discuss the first phase of the Gaza peace plan. Trump has worked tirelessly to get the hostages home, but Hamas cannot remain in power. Lawler also discusses his confrontation with Rep Hakeem Jeffries over the government shutdown.
