McCall Smith is a Senior Product Manager at Jane.com. In this episode, she tell us the story of how she went from a subject matter expert to product manager.  McCall and I worked together at Instructure where I got to learn from her honesty and fearlessness in the face of awkward moments. When she came to interview with us, I knew we should hire her within minutes of meeting her. She's a straight shooter and completely authentic human.  Qualities that I find valuable in a Product Manager. Notes on Sound Quality: This is the best sound quality yet. We recorded in my back yard (socially distanced of course), with real microphones and everything. It's getting better! Thanks to my buddy, Travis Pierce, for helping me learn how to make all this sound equipment work.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

McCall Smith, Alexander. THE MYSTERY OF MEERKAT HILL

World-wide bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith meets readers to discuss the first in his series of humorous novels set in Edinburgh - 44 Scotland Street. The presenter is James Naughtie. The book tells the story of the interlocking lives of the inhabitants of adjoining flats in a house in the Georgian New Town of Edinburgh - their comic adventures, their foibles and accidents, their chance criss-crossings day-to-day. McCall Smith talks about the challenges of writing one thousand words a day, and how readers would advise him on where to take the story next, and what they thought he should do with characters they didn't like. He also explains how a few real people - novelist Ian Rankin, art gallery owner Guy Peploe - turned up in the stories.
