Dear Lenny, you are the f****** man! Your podcast is the best product school available at no cost, easily one of the best ROI on time spent on youtube in this space. You might not know it yet, but you'll probably be the Joe Rogan of product. And of course, Kaari is a genius, but I already knew that :)

One of my PM shared this on his linkedin, Instantly fell in love. Subscribed. Would be binge watching all the videos.

Great, honest, deep and detailed conversation! Lenny, you should launch your on-line video course on Product management!

[@FahimMD]

Thanks for the video, Lenny. I find that their work methods are similar to 37signals. (Shaping, cycles, no metrics, etc.)

Excellent Interview

I formerly researched the performance of teams using a database of about 30k completed projects. The observation here is dead on: small teams can deliver the same output of larger teams.

This feeds into the dream of a creative product manager. Unfortunately, most organisations are businesses and pushing monetary gain is sometimes the only way. I have some friends working at these places, they are not creative - just pure commodity play.

Linear is da bomb!🎉

Weird that so much of this is innate common sense to me. I guess I undervalue how I think and what I know.

[@zedrake]

I felt the same!

[@venberd]

Would the no PM approach work if the company was serving other industries and personas? Say building for HR?

[@badpotato]

can not stand his voice

[@ImSuvasco]

the vocal fry is insane

I also have long used a paid work trial. Any other way and you’re being exploitative. You can also do this without giving access to the codebase on standalone projects, which can also be quite revealing. Bringing people in and getting them used to other people is a double edged sword because those you don’t select leave a trail of broken even if nascent relationships.
