You're not serious until Taylor Swift fires you! Todd talked about playing the guitars on Kacey Musgraves records, songwriting with Lera Lynn, keeping the magic in the music during tracking sessions, and how to find new chord shapes for your guitar. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Todd Lombardo, an ACM acoustic session guitar player-of-the-year nominee, producer and songwriter living in Nashville TN. Most notably known for his contributions to Kacey Musgraves “Golden Hour”. He is also responsible for Canadian platinum productions as well as numerous number one country hits as a session player. I first met Todd when he brought the artist Mickey Cash over to The Toy Box Studio for me to mix. I was struck by his great production ideas, arrangement decisions, and guitar playing. Years later we reconnected over at Craig Alvins East Nashville studio which he occupies now. It also turned out we were both interested in weird stuff beyond music like Wim Hof and cold exposure Ice Baths for good health and ultimately we became neighbors. More recently I got to hear a new record he recorded with his partner in life and music Lera Lynn that sounds amazing. So I'm psyched to learn more about what Todd is doing in the studio and get some great recording, production, and mixing tricks for you Rockstars.

One of the rules of product research is “insights are best shared,” says C. Todd Lombardo. The subtext is never write a report that no one is going to read.  C. Todd is the vice president of product and design at Openly, an insurance-tech company empowering agents to deliver a higher standard of service through cutting-edge technology and comprehensive options. He joined UserTesting's CEO Andy MacMillan on the Human Insight Podcast to talk about all things product management, such as how he shares insights and aligns the company with what customers want.  Instead of writing reports, C. Todd said, product leaders should ask themselves how do you bring people along for the ride? How can you share the insights you're getting from your customers? Can you involve others in your organization before the insights are even generated?  For example, he is often asked how he involves an executive in a design sprint.  His strategy, he said, is to apply a multitouch inclusion strategy. Include them the first half hour of the first day when you are doing your assumption storming and trying to understand the problem you are solving so that they have the opportunity to co-create with you and shape the problem you're trying to solve.  Bring them in again at the end of the third day when you've gotten your sketches ready and your starting prototyping. “These are the solutions we think we're going to to try and build, prototype and test, what do you think.” And then bring them in again at the end of the last day. “We tested this and here are some of the videos from our conversations, these are some of the things we learned.” By doing that, they've had more visibility — and buy in — into the whole journey. It's not easy, C. Todd says, but it's the best way he's seen teams get executives involved.  Listen to the episode to get more insights from C. Todd. Also, in a new podcast segment we're calling UserTesting Insights, you can also hear what podcast listeners thought about the Human Insight Podcast's old introduction and its replacement.

Zum Jahreswechsel werfen wir zu Dritt mal einen Blick nach vorne und schauen uns unseren Wunschzettel an. Welches sind unsere Wünsche für 2022? Na, gut - nicht irgendwelche Wünsche, sondern explizit aus dem Kontext von Product Ownern. Oliver Winter, Dominique Winter und Tim Klein haben jeweils drei eigene Wünsche in den Ring geworfen und auf einen gemeinsamen zehnten Wunsch konnten wir uns dann auch noch einigen… Entstanden ist ein interessantes Gespräch mit einem bunten Reigen von wichtigen Themen zur aktuellen Situation und Rolle von Product Ownern. Durch das Gespräch gibt es kompakte Impulse und Hinweise, wo auch ihr in eurem organisatorischen Umfeld mal hingucken könntet. Vielleicht könnt ihr einzelne Produktwerker Wünsche für 2022 dann ja bereits bei euch in der Wirklichkeit erfüllen. Unsere 10 Wünsche für 2022: 1.) Scrum nur dort einsetzen, wo Scrum auch hingehört 2.) Cross-funktionale Teams über die Softwareentwicklung hinaus etablieren 3.) Klarheit, dass "SAFe Product Owner" ungleich "Scrum Product Owner" ist 4.) Integration von Product Discovery in Scrum 5.) "Erlebnisse" als Outcome der Produktentwicklung etablieren 6.) Mehr Fokus auf Produktmanagement in Scrum Product Owner Trainings 7.) Echte Product Roadmaps! 8.) Mut, auch unpopuläre aber wichtige Entscheidungen zu treffen 9.) Mehr "JA" sagen, anstatt so viel "NEIN" sagen zu müssen 10.) Mehr Zeit für die eigene Weiterentwicklung als Product Owner nehmen Im Laufe des Gesprächs nennen Tim, Dominique und Oliver folgende Bücher bzw. Artikel: - Marty Cagan: Empowered (im Kontext der "Empowered Product Teams") - Roman Pichler - Six Types of "Product" Owners - Marty Cagan: The Four Big Risks - Teresa Torres: Continuous Discovery Habits - Jeff Patton / Jeff Gothelf: Dual Track Development - Nacho Bassino: Product Direction - C. Todd Lombardo et al.: Product Roadmaps Relaunched - Robbin Schuurman / Willem Vermaak: 50 Arten, Nein zu sagen Zudem wurde auf die beiden folgenden Podcast-Episoden verwiesen: - Verantwortung übernehmen als Product Owner (mit Andy Schliep) - Sei Dein eigenes Produkt! Und am Ende empfiehlt Tim als Content-Quelle für die eigene Weiterentwicklung unsere recht neue "Produktwerker Box" (im Menü zu finden oder direkt unter https://produktwerker.de/box/) Wir würden uns auch echt freuen zu hören, was Eure Wünsche für 2022 denn so sind! Alles nur "weiter so"? Oder woran wollt ihr etwas verändern, z.B. an der Organisation und en Rahmenbedingungen arbeiten? Und worin wollt ihr euch selbst weiterentwickeln? Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat würden wir uns über Feedback freuen - v.a. in Spotify, in Apple Podcast oder der von euch genutzten Podcast-App sowie als Kommentar in unserem Blog-Post auf der Website.

This week's guest is C. Todd Lombardo, the VP of Product and Experience at Openly. C. Todd and Melissa discuss product research–a key combination of user research, market research, and analytics–and how product managers can better implement research practices into their organizations. Here are some key points you'll hear Melissa and Todd talk about in this episode: The kind of product leadership Todd does, and how he got invested in product management. [1:24] The biggest change in product management in the last decade is the legitimacy of position, and product leaders finally having important roles in organizations. [5:40] Product research is about gathering information and trying to synthesize it in a meaningful way. [10:48] Product managers need to have the ability to go out and speak with customers and do qualitative research. [13:16] The mindset of discovery, and how it can contribute to designers and engineers making better decisions which lead to better products and eventually, better outcomes. [18:23] Our job as product leaders is to figure out what our customers want. [21:55] One of the main rules of product research is to prepare to be wrong and go into [product research] with the intent to prove yourself wrong. “If you can't prove yourself wrong you might be onto something right.” [27:09] Always take into account the audience you're presenting to. Remember that you're talking to busy executives, so share your conclusions up front so that they don't miss the main points. [30:30] Resources C Todd Lombardo | LinkedIn | Twitter Openly

The ability to ‘dig in’ and then know when to listen is crucial! Don’t wait to speak. Instead, listen to what somebody is saying and then respond.   And don’t forget: be humble if you’re wrong.   To Learn More About C.

Your Latest O'Reilly Discounts Free eBook: Data-Informed Product Design http://www.oreilly.com/pub/cpc/1220   Designers must understand user needs to create any product. But what type of data should you look at? In her new book, Data-Informed Product Design, Pamela Pavliscak outlines a way to use data of all kinds to understand the relationship between people and technology. Generally speaking, big data is quantitative; it gives you the what, where, and when, while “thick data” provides the qualitative perspective—the how and the why.   Up until now, there hasn't been much information on how to combine quantitative big data with qualitative thick data. That's where this report can help. If you're involved in any aspect of product design, this is indispensable reading. It's useful, and we're pleased to offer it to you, for free!
