This week on "Unsolicited Feedback," Fareed Mosavat welcomed Sachin Rekhi to explore the shifting landscape of media, focusing on the evolution from traditional, slower media forms to what's increasingly being termed "dopamine culture." We analyze how this change is not only profoundly affecting how we consume content but also how we should build and launch products. Sachin has created multiple Reforge courses, is the founder & CEO of NoteJoy, and the creator of LinkedIn Sales Navigator, a now $1B ARR business. And, he has a new video-native podcast you can watch on YouTube! Check out a full summary at UnsolicitedFeedback.co! We're back Thursday to discuss finding Product-Market Fit without MVPs!

Sachin Rekhi reviews the most popular definitions of the role of the product manager from product luminaries like Martin Eriksson, Ben Horowitz, and Marty Cagan. He also shares his own definition for the role: Product managers drive the vision, strategy, design, and execution of the product. He then dives into each of those four core responsibilities, shares an exemplary product leader for each, and describes what each responsibility truly entails. For a deeper exploration into the role of product management, consider Sachin's 5 week Mastering Product Management course: https://reforge.com/courses/mastering-product-management/?utm_id=mastering_pm&utm_medium=expert&utm_source=course_page&utm_campaign=spring_24 Where to find Sachin: Blog: https://www.sachinrekhi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sachinrekhi/ X: https://twitter.com/sachinrekhi Produced by Larry Chen Studios https://www.instagram.com/larrychenstudios/

You can't find product market fit unless you where you are and which direction you're headed in.  Most companies needlessly struggle by using one northstar metric early on, usually copied from competitors. Others struggle because they track every metric under the sun. In reality, there are three things you need to measure to find product market fit: Retention, engagement, and growth.  You can measure some of these with very few users and very little time. Others take dozens or hundreds of users and multiple weeks for meaningful measurement. In this episode we'll help you measure your progress towards product market fit with knowledge from Reforge, top tier VCs (first round capital, a16z), Rahul Vohra from Superhuman, and Sachin Rekhi from Notejoy.
