Were going back for more conversations from the show. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) is the global trade association for home technology professionals, specializing in smart home, automation, audio-visual, networking, and integrated systems. Its mission is to advance the home technology industry through education, certification, advocacy, and networking. Members include integrators, designers, manufacturers, and consultants who shape the connected environments we live and work in. CEDIA Expo is the industry's largest annual event for residential technology professionals. With hundreds of exhibitors, educational sessions, live demos, and global networking opportunities, it's where new ideas and innovations in smart home and AV integration take center stage. The Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX), co-located with CEDIA Expo, focuses on commercial integration technologies—from conferencing and IT infrastructure to building automation and emerging AV solutions—bringing together commercial integrators, IT pros, designers, and tech managers. Jason McGraw | Group VP and Show Director, CEDIA Expo / CIX Scope of the Show: McGraw details the scale of CEDIA Expo 2025, featuring over 350 exhibitors and immersive demo rooms that showcase integrated audio, video, and control systems. Integration Meets Design: Discussion centers on the critical partnership between integrators and the design-build community (interior designers, architects, builders). McGraw emphasizes that technology—ranging from AI and energy management to lighting—must be a foundational element of the design process, not an afterthought. The Business Case: Designers are encouraged to view integrators as essential trade partners, similar to electricians or plumbers, to better service clients and protect home networks. Dale Sandberg | Product Manager for Electronics, Sonance Aesthetic Performance: Sandberg discusses Sonance's philosophy that sound should support the design of a space rather than dominate it. The focus is on blending high-fidelity performance with discreet aesthetics. New Innovations: Highlights include the compact UA Series amplifiers designed to fit behind displays or in tight spaces, and the integration of professional-grade Blaze Audio amplifiers into the Sonance family. Outdoor Living: The conversation covers the growing trend of outdoor entertainment, where amplifiers and speakers are used to create immersive environments in backyards and outdoor kitchens. Jim Garrett | Senior Director of Product Strategy, Harman Luxury Audio Group Hidden Technology: Garrett addresses the challenge of eliminating “wall acne” through invisible speakers and design-integrated solutions that do not compromise acoustic performance. Pandemic Influence: The discussion explores how the pandemic shifted focus toward outdoor living and unconventional entertainment spaces, including garages and multi-generational gaming setups.

Please enjoy this encore of Career Notes. Mary Writz, Vice President of Product Strategy at ForgeRock, shares how each career path she has taken has led her to where she is now. Mary describes how she has been a woman working in a male dominated field for most of her career and how she had to take charge, and she had to get the men to take charge with her. She says "I was often leading people, mostly men older than me, potentially smarter than me, more well paid than me. So I had to learn how to think about galvanizing this group to charge forward with me, even though I was a bit of a minority in that way." She also states that she tells herself to always make a positive out of a negative by showing people how you can respond to what's happening with a lot of energy, focus, and care and that's what got her to where she is today.

Kiren Sekar (CPO @ Samsara) joins us to deconstruct the "Innovation Engine" behind Samsara, and how this system drives real-world impact and ROI across their products. We explore Samsara's decade-long compound product strategy and the mechanics of accelerating feedback loops in an era where the primary bottlenecks shift from code generation to customer feedback and absorption of change. Kiren details how their data flywheel expands the aperture of what is possible to build and we dive into the system of customer-driven innovation: advisory boards, “spark sessions” to test hypotheses and gain unfiltered feedback. Plus we talk about the power of embedding engineers in frontline environments (from truckyards to construction sites) to cultivate “taste,” customer empathy and trigger non-linear ideas. ABOUT KIREN SEKARKiren Sekar is the Chief Product Officer at Samsara (NYSE: IOT), where he has helped lead the company from a hardware-hacking startup in a basement to a global leader in Connected Operations with over $1.5B in ARR. An early leader at Meraki (acquired by Cisco for $1.2B) and an Apple veteran with multiple patents, Kiren specializes in the rare intersection of hardware, massive-scale data, and AI. He is the architect of a platform that now processes trillions of data points for the industries that keep the world running—trucking, construction, and logistics. This episode is brought to you by Retool!What happens when your team can't keep up with internal tool requests?

If you're a product manager, founder, executive, or even an individual contributor navigating OKRs, AI, and innovation pressure, this episode of Career Sessions, Career Lessons offers a practical reframing of how great products and meaningful work actually get built.Host JR Lowry sits down with Radhika Dutt, author of Radical Product Thinking, to unpack why traditional goals, OKRs, and performance targets often do more harm than good in modern product organizations.Drawing from her experience as an MIT-trained engineer, startup founder, and product leader across industries, Radhika introduces an alternative: puzzle setting and puzzle solving. Rather than optimizing for short-term metrics, she says that the most successful teams spend more time in the problem space asking better questions, learning faster, and adapting intelligently.Together, JR and Radhika explore:Why OKRs and targets could kill curiosity and innovationThe difference between optimizing numbers and solving the right problemHow “puzzle-driven” teams outperform “goal-driven” teamsThe dangers of AI-driven “product slop” and what humans must do better than machinesLeadership lessons on delegation, critical thinking, and psychological safetyAI's impact on recruiting and cultureCheck out the full series of “Career Sessions, Career Lessons” podcasts here or visit pathwise.io/podcast/.

Tiered pricing is becoming the simplest way to sell AI-powered SaaS without turning your pricing page into a technical explanation. In my interview with Dan Balcauski, founder and Chief Pricing Officer at Product Tranquility, we talked about why AI is forcing new pricing decisions earlier than ever—and why "good, better, best" packaging often works because it keeps buying decisions clear while helping companies manage real AI costs.  The AI era is making pricing margin-aware again. Tiered pricing helps you protect margins without forcing buyers to learn your cost structure.  About Dan Balcauski Dan Balcauski is the founder and Chief Pricing Officer at Product Tranquility, where he helps high-volume B2B SaaS CEOs define pricing and packaging for new products. He is a TopTal certified Top 3% Product Management Professional and helps teach Kellogg Executive Education course on Product Strategy. Over the last 15 years, Dan has managed products across the full lifecycle—from concept incubation to launch, platform transitions, maintenance, and end of life—across consumer and B2B companies ranging from startups to publicly traded enterprises. He previously served as Head of Product at LawnStarter and was a Principal Product Strategist at SolarWinds. Why Tiered Pricing Is Winning in the AI Era For years, SaaS companies could price mostly around value because marginal costs were relatively stable. AI changes the math. Dan points out that companies are now cutting meaningful monthly checks to model providers, and leadership teams can't pretend cost-to-serve is irrelevant anymore.  That's a big reason tiered pricing is showing up everywhere right now. It gives teams a way to: Keep the offer simple for buyers Put premium capabilities where they belong Create a natural upgrade path that aligns with value and cost Most importantly, tiered pricing keeps you out of the weeds. The customer conversation stays focused on outcomes, not infrastructure. What Makes Tiered Pricing Actually Work Dan's point isn't "just shove AI into the top tier." Tiered pricing works when plan differences are easy to understand and tied to value drivers customers already recognize.  Here are three practical patterns from the discussion that hold up well in the AI era. 1) Put AI in higher tiers when it boosts a user's output If an AI feature makes a person more effective—faster drafting, better triage, higher quality responses—tiering can be straightforward. The buyer already understands why a "Better" or "Best" plan costs more: it changes the capability of the team.  This is also why seat-based pricing can still make sense for many AI-enhanced tools. If the value driver is still "help my team do better work," then users/seats remain an intuitive anchor.  If AI increases team productivity, tiered pricing can stay aligned to seats—because seats still map to value.  2) Use add-ons when AI changes the value driver Sometimes AI doesn't just "help" the user—it replaces work entirely. When that happens, forcing it into the same tier structure can distort value and create confusion. Dan points to Intercom as a strong example of handling this well: The core support platform stays priced per user (agents), because the value driver is agent effectiveness. Their AI agent ("Fin AI") is priced separately because the agent isn't involved—the value is the number of issues the AI resolves. That's why per-resolution pricing makes sense.  3) Don't make buyers learn token math Dan's strongest warning is about token pricing. Customers don't want to learn what tokens are, and sales teams don't want to explain them—especially when you're selling a business outcome like faster support or better customer experience.  Token-based pricing also shifts the conversation away from value and toward your vendor bill. As Dan puts it, customers don't care about your infrastructure costs, and pushing that complexity into the buying motion adds friction.  If your tiered pricing requires a footnote explaining tokens, you're adding sand in the gears.  A Tiered Pricing Checklist for AI Features Here's a simple way to apply this immediately: Good: Core workflow value, minimal AI (or AI where costs are predictable) Better: AI that boosts team output (speed, quality, throughput) Best: AI that drives outcomes at scale (automation, deflection, resolution) Add-on: Use when AI has a different value driver than the base product (example: per-resolution)  Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Legacy systems work. So why do companies waste millions rewriting them? In this episode of Arguing Agile, Product Manager Nisha Patel joins Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel for a debate on the dangerous obsession with rewriting legacy systems — from COBOL to green screens — that still power ATMs, government systems, and Fortune 500 billing engines. Watch or listen as we discuss the myth that "modern" equals "better" and reveal how most rewrites fail because they ignore customer value, edge cases, and real ROI as well as other topics, such as:How Chesterton's Fence applies to code (Brian still doesn't know)How Developers kill software with Resume-Driven Development (RDD)How Finance kills software with spreadsheet-driven development (SDD)Why chasing "parity" kills innovationRisk Mitigation, or, framing technical debt in business termsIf you've ever worked on or tried to replace legacy systems, this episode will either give you nightmares, or help how you approach legacy systems while helping you also stop burning budget on vanity projects.#LegacyCode #ProductManagement #AgileCoachingREFERENCESAA148 - An Introduction to Software Development FinancesLINKSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596INTRO MUSICToronto Is My BeatBy Whitewolf (Source: https://ccmixter.org/files/whitewolf225/60181)CC BY 4.0 DEED (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en)

Welcome to Collections Conversations, a new four-part podcast miniseries from Fintech Takes, sponsored by our friends at C&R Software. The series digs into how generative AI is reshaping debt collections; what it enables, what it complicates, and why it might finally force the industry to retire the word “collections” altogether. In Episode 1, I sit down with Naeem Abraham, Senior Director of Product Strategy at C&R Software. We kick things off with what I call the Collections Abundance Moment, tracing debt collection's operational powerhouse roots (where empathy was sacrificed at the altar of efficiency) to a world where the old resource constraints no longer apply. The episode dives into the mechanics of building safe, value-adding AI systems. Naeem outlines the “triangular dance floor” of competing pressures (risk, cost, and customer experience) and explains why the winners will be those who treat AI not as a system, but as intelligence.  What if every customer had a personal banker in their pocket?  What if cost no longer forced us to be adversarial?  What if the prize wasn't collections at all, but financial well-being? This episode is a blueprint for anyone reimagining collections, credit, or customer care in the age of AI. Subscribe now to catch what's next. This episode is brought to you by C&R Software.  More than just debt collections, C&R sets the global standard for AI-native, humanized credit management. They simplify the complex with end-to-end credit-risk lifecycle support, powered by automated workflows, AI-native intelligence, and real-time, data-driven decisioning.

Minimal viable pricing is the fastest way to stop debating what your product should cost and start learning what customers will actually pay for. In my interview with Dan Balcauski, founder and Chief Pricing Officer at Product Tranquility, we talked about how early-stage teams can set pricing that's "good enough" to sell, validate value, and iterate—without getting stuck chasing the perfect number. Pricing can feel risky because it shapes perception, positioning, and revenue. But Dan's message is practical: you don't need perfect pricing to move forward—you need minimal viable pricing that creates clear decisions and real feedback loops. Minimal viable pricing isn't "cheap pricing." It's "clear pricing" that helps you test value and drive decisions. About Dan Balcauski Dan Balcauski is the founder and Chief Pricing Officer at Product Tranquility, where he helps high-volume B2B SaaS CEOs define pricing and packaging for new products. A TopTal-certified Top 3% Product Management Professional, Dan also teaches in Kellogg Executive Education's Product Strategy coursework. Over the last 15 years, he has led products across the full lifecycle—from concept incubation to launch, platform transitions, maintenance, and end-of-life—across both consumer and B2B markets. Before Product Tranquility, he served as Head of Product at LawnStarter and as a Principal Product Strategist at SolarWinds following its $4B acquisition. What "minimal viable pricing" actually means Dan's approach starts with a mindset shift: early-stage companies rarely fail because their initial price was off by 10–20%. They fail because they haven't found a repeatable customer problem, a clear value promise, or a reliable way to acquire customers. Minimal viable pricing means: You set a price you can defend. You package it in a way customers can understand. You use real conversations and real deals to refine it. It's pricing as a learning tool—not a spreadsheet exercise. Minimal viable pricing starts with your "free option" One of the most actionable parts of the discussion was Dan's breakdown of freemium vs free trial—and why it matters so much for minimal viable pricing. A free trial creates urgency. There's a natural deadline, which forces customers to evaluate value and decide. A freemium model can work, but it often creates a huge pool of users who never engage deeply enough to convert. If your goal is to learn quickly, trials often generate clearer signals: Who gets value fast? What feature set drives adoption? What objections stop the purchase? Minimal viable pricing works best when your go-to-market motion creates real decisions—not endless "maybe later." Trial length: don't confuse "short" with "effective" There's a trend toward shorter trials (like 7 days), but Dan's point is simple: a short clock doesn't help if your customer can't realistically experience value in that window. In B2B especially, onboarding delays, competing priorities, and internal approvals can chew up days instantly. A minimal viable pricing approach asks: What's the shortest trial that still allows a motivated customer to succeed? If you're selling to teams, the answer is often longer than you think. Use minimal viable pricing to clarify positioning Dan also shared a framing that sticks: are you selling a Timex or a Rolex? In other words, are you competing on affordability and simplicity—or premium value and outcomes? Minimal viable pricing isn't just about the number. It's also about: The story your pricing tells The kind of customer you attract The expectations you set around results and support You don't need a dozen plans to communicate this. You need clarity. If customers can't tell who your product is for from the pricing page, your "pricing problem" might actually be a positioning problem. The goal: learn faster, not argue longer Minimal viable pricing gives you a way to move forward without pretending you have perfect information. Start with something simple, sell it, listen hard, and iterate. If you want a practical takeaway from Dan's perspective, it's this: pricing is one of your best feedback loops. Use it early. Use it intentionally. And don't let the hunt for "perfect" delay the real work—helping customers win.

Product Strategy for AI Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Artificial intelligence is a disruptive technology that promises tremendous benefits to the tech industry. Current products will be upgraded to use AI. New products will be introduced using AI from the get-go. Here's a list of product strategies for AI: AI-based applications that use large language models called LLMs. This could be a chatbot that replaces a traditional user interface. AI-based networks that leverage AI for performance. This could be a solution that gives a more complete picture of the system. AI-based platforms that enable multiple applications using an AI engine. AI-based marketplaces that enable new features for discovery. Marketplaces are ideal for creating and capturing data, such as the most popular product in a category. Marketplaces also make matches between a buyer and seller. AI can perform more comprehensive matches and provide the buyer with help in finding the right product. AI will find its initial success in creating assistants. An assistant can guide one through a complex process, enhancing the user experience. Consider these product strategies for your startup. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Be honest: have you set up automation… but not really adopted it? In this episode of our Leadership Series, Paul Lodder (VP of Accounting & Product Strategy at Dext) breaks down how to use Dext automation to create capacity, improve real-time reporting, and move clients from reactive to in control. Download Dext's Compliance to Advisory Guide, here: https://info.dext.com/compliance-to-advisory-guide?UTM_source=6fb Paul shares what he saw moving from practice to product: most firms sign up to tools but don't adopt features deeply enough to get the outcome. You'll hear what “real-time bookkeeping” actually means, why regularity matters, and how to structure people, processes and products so automation sticks. What you'll learn: - Spot why firms “go digital” but still don't get full tool value (feature adoption is the gap). - Build a Dext champion role that improves automation performance across your client base. - Shift clients from quarterly compliance to real-time bookkeeping and decision-making. - Use automation and regularity to unlock dashboards, insights, and proactive conversations. - Understand where AI helps (proactivity and capacity) and where it won't replace you (relationships and empathy). Try Dext as a partner: https://dext.com/uk/partner?utm_source=6fb and explore how automation creates capacity.

Send us a textIn this episode of UX Leadership by Design, Mark Baldino talks with Ryan Glasgow, CEO and founder of Sprig, about the future of UX research in an AI-first world. Ryan shares how Sprig was built to replace legacy survey tools like Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey by enabling real-time, in-context feedback and powerful AI-driven analysis. The conversation dives deep into how modern research can scale with fewer resources, why AI should be seen as an intern—not a threat—and how researchers can thrive by shifting toward strategic influence within organizations. If you're in product, design, or research leadership, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysLegacy research tools are broken – They're disconnected from user behavior and painfully slow—Sprig fixes that by embedding surveys in key workflows.AI isn't here to replace you—it's your intern – The most successful teams treat AI like an eager junior teammate that accelerates insights and frees up strategic thinking.UX research is evolving toward strategic impact – Tactical research is being democratized across teams; researchers who shift toward company-level strategy will thrive.Tool bloat is real—consolidation is the future – Many orgs are replacing 3–5 survey tools with Sprig to reduce costs and streamline workflows.You can't scale great product experiences without scaling insights – Research embedded across the product journey is the only way to keep up.Designers and Product Managers are sharing research responsibilities – It's now table stakes for cross-functional teams to gather, analyze, and act on feedback.Sprig uses Sprig – The team applies its own product to optimize A/B testing, feature development, and in-product recruiting—truly eating their own dog food.ChaptersFrom Product to Founder: Why Build Sprig – 01:00What Legacy Survey Tools Get Wrong – 04:00Sprig's End-to-End Research Workflow – 07:30Using Sprig to Build Sprig (Meta UX) – 09:45AI as Intern: Supercharging Strategic Work – 22:00The New Research Stack: Strategic > Tactical – 29:00The Future of UX Research Teams – 31:00Resources & LinksConnect with Ryan on LinkedInSprig AI-Native Survey App Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Fuzzy Math - B2B & Enterprise UX Design Consultancy

In this episode we talk about product strategy. How do you make sure your product wins in the market? How do you make key product decisions, and how do you manage mistakes?  We are here to help! In this episode we answer questions including:What do you do when big feature releases fail to move the needle?How do you balance different requests from different customers?What's the best way to communicate product roadmaps?All of these questions were submitted by listeners just like you. You can submit questions for us to answer on our website TheStartupHelpdesk.com or on X/Twitter @thestartuphd - we'd love to hear from you!Your hosts:Sean Byrnes: General Partner, Near Horizon www.nearhorizon.vcAsh Rust: Managing Partner, Sterling Road www.sterlingroad.comNic Meliones: CEO, Navi www.heynavi.comReminder: this is not legal advice or investment advice.Q1: What do you do when big feature releases fail to move the needle?Utility drives adoption, not novelty. If a release flops, you likely prioritized "pixie dust" (like bolting on AI simply to be trendy) over solving a "hair on fire" problem.Focus on Pain, Not Trends: New technology is a tool, not a strategy. A feature only matters if it delivers a 10x improvement on a core, high-pain customer job. If it's a "nice-to-have," it will be "rarely-used."The Iteration Mandate: Don't be afraid to ship imperfect work, but be terrified of stagnating. You cannot expect your first implementation to be the winning one. You iterate to find the 10x value; you don't start with it.Q2: How do you balance different requests from different customers?Diverging requests are a warning sign of a "Verticalization Challenge." You cannot build two businesses at once. If you try to serve every request, you multiply complexity and halve your focus. The result is a B+ product, and B+ products do not win categories.To win, you must be the best in the world for a specific customer profile before you can be good for everyone.The 60-Day Focus Framework:Select: Pick the profile with the best blend of pain, willingness to pay, and market size.Sprint: Ignore all other segments and focus on that profile exclusively for 60 days.Validate: If you don't see breakout momentum, pivot to the next profile.Q3: What's the best way to communicate product roadmaps?Trust is the currency of product management. You earn it by balancing two distinct timelines:Sell the Dream (Long-term): Customers treat their purchase as an investment in the future. Share your vision and intent to get them excited about where the ship is going.Deliver the Reality (Short-term): Ruthlessly over-deliver on the next 60-90 days.The Trust Equation: When you provide undeniable proof of execution in the short term, you earn the right to be ambiguous about the long term. If you miss short-term dates, your long-term vision looks like a hallucination. Give them proof so they can believe in the dream.

More money. More time. Or both.If what you offer helps people get one or both, demand should not be the problem. When it is, the issue is rarely the product. It is how the value is communicated. The problem is most businesses bury that value under features, specs, and what I call “knowledge vomit” and then wonder why buyers do not move.In this episode, I break down why marketing fails when it cannot clearly validate outcomes. Buyers do not struggle with features or specs. They struggle with confusion. If your message does not quickly show how you help them make money, save time, or both, they will move on, even if what you offer is genuinely strong.We walk through how value gets buried under “impressive” language, why clear always beats clever, and how small disconnects in messaging and experience quietly erode trust and revenue. This is not about hype or shortcuts. It is about making the value obvious at every touchpoint.In this episode, you will learn how to:Translate features into outcomes buyers actually care aboutClarify whether your offer makes money, saves time, or does bothSimplify messaging so decision makers instantly understand the valueFix marketing that looks polished but fails to convertImprove customer experience through small, intentional momentsAlign product, marketing, and leadership around one clear value storyThis episode is for founders, marketers, product leaders, and decision makers who are tired of guessing why marketing is not working. If your marketing cannot clearly prove value, you will not win. When it can, growth becomes more predictable, more sustainable, and far less complicated.Beyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize. Market.

This week I spoke with Washington Post CTO Vineet Khosla about the collision between a legacy shaped by perfection and a future shaped by iteration. We get into why the Post is pushing beyond the one-size-fits-all article, how conversational and personalized formats change the relationship between readers and reporting, and what it takes for a newsroom to think like a product organization without losing its editorial core. Vineet walks through the shift toward voice as an interface, the role AI will play in expanding how journalism is packaged, and why publishers need to stop viewing themselves as content suppliers to platforms.

Episode 1902: Jake Knapp highlights the power of beginning with the end in mind to guide product development and problem-solving. By identifying long-term goals and rephrasing assumptions as clear questions, teams can focus their energy on what really matters, reducing risk, encouraging curiosity, and staying aligned throughout the sprint. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/good-products-start-good-questions/ Quotes to ponder: "Your goal should reflect your team's principles and aspirations." "Lurking beneath every goal are dangerous assumptions. The longer those assumptions remain unexamined, the greater the risk." "Starting at the end is like being handed the keys to a time machine."

4 Steps to Building a Product StrategyThis is the process I use and have taken dozens of product leaders and founders through to build their product strategy.It's deliberately designed to be lightweight, flexible but not a checklist.This means there's a lot of work that you still need to do. Rather than trying to ask you to fill-in-the-blanks like “what's your unique value prop” or “target customer” you're going to have to do the work to consider what inputs and decisions are important in your context.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

As long listeners of this podcast know, there's few things that tick us off more than the retail media team and ecommerce team, and even supply chain, not finding a way to work together towards a single shared goal for max ROI. But that's because it's really hard. Our guest today, Jack Lindberg, Head of Product Strategy & Design at Shalion, has been working intensely on how teams can do some silo-busting armed with the right framework, data, and aligned incentives.

What if the difference between surviving the principalship and loving it again came down to how you spend 90 minutes of your day? In this energizing episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with longtime collaborators Dr. Joseph Jones and Dr. T.J. Vari from The Schoolhouse 302 to explore how their new book, Time, Tools and Tactics of Instructional Leadership, A Principal's Guide to Leading Learning, helps leaders escape operational overload and step fully into the role of instructional leader.​ Joe and T.J. share the story behind their partnership, from trail runs at White Clay Creek to blogging, keynoting, and coaching leaders across the country, all centered on one belief, iron sharpens iron and leadership should never be left to chance. They unpack practical systems like asking, “Does this need to get done now, and does it need to be done by me?”, reverse time blocking, and their AFA framework, anchor, focus, align, which together help administrators reclaim their calendars and refocus on what happens in classrooms.​ Listeners will hear how nine concrete leadership systems make it realistic to visit four to six classrooms a day, deliver specific, neuroscience-informed praise, and build clarity around a small set of high-leverage “look fors” that every teacher understands and can grow toward. Whether you are an aspiring leader, a new assistant principal, or a veteran principal feeling stuck in management mode, this conversation offers a clear first step, audit your calendar, define what 50 percent instructional work could look like, and start removing the “pebbles in your shoe” that keep you from leading learning with purpose and impact.
