In this episode, Brian and Fareed discuss the challenges facing product managers in the AI era with Shaun Clowes, CPO at Confluent. Many product professionals are questioning their future as traditional PM workflows—documentation, basic prioritization, and coordination—become increasingly automated. Yet this technological shift isn't eliminating the product management function; rather, it's elevating what has always differentiated exceptional PMs from average ones. While low-value processes are being automated away, the core elements that create product success—strategic vision, judgment, taste, and leadership—are becoming dramatically more valuable.

This episode of Greymatter is the first in a mini-series of growth discussions featuring Greylock Investor Mike Duboe.

The three growth/product leaders discuss the skills and traits to look for in a startup's first growth hire, why growth should be a cross-functional discipline vs a set of channels or tactics, how to assess healthy vs unhealthy growth, conceptualizing loops vs funnels, and the applicability of B2C growth concepts in B2B organizations.

Season 4 of Product to Product, a podcast for / by product people, is finally here! This season, we’re taking a deep dive into growth and giving PMs practical, sustainable, non-hacky ways to grow your product. First up—Shaun Clowes on why all PMs should be growth PMs. Whereas core PMs own parts of the product, growth PMs own KPIs and experiments. They also tend to be way more data-driven. This new distinction between core and growth PM implies that PMs aren’t as focused on growth as their orgs would like them to be, but our guest doesn’t think that’s helpful. Having worked on both sides, Shaun was the head of product growth at Atlassian before joining MetroMile as their Chief Product Officer.
