Very insightful. It'll be beneficial to have more data folks on the show. It would be great to have some folks talk about leveraging predictive AI (machine learning) for growth.

Thank you man for adding the books! You have done a great job of adding the links by going extra mile!!!

[@whattimeisitnow124]

Thank you Lenny for bringing such a variety of business function views to us. One thing I believe is missing in product/business content these days are less heard of companies and people. There are companies out there that not a lot of people have heard of that are very succesful. For example the tech companies in Canada.

Lenny :) Great Interview :)

At minute 34, she mentions doing tasks outside of your job description and references the company founder taking out the trash on Saturday nights. The founder is a million times more motivated to succeed because they reap all the rewards in the end. Why should an employee, who barely makes enough to live, care as much? I hate these kinds of comparisons. No, I don't care if you buy another yacht off the shore of Monaco.

its the job of these VPs middle manager to show higher ups in good light and motivate employees to work harder(even though it may not have any benefit) To me it always seemed fake and hence i always despise people manager jobs. They should realize that for them this company is their priority but its not the same for every employee

Hi, I used to think the same way as you, but when I saw more and more of this kind of statement from high level managers/ C-level people, it makes me rethink that maybe they earn where they are is because the extreme ownership mindset?

14:15 Also, think about it this way: if you keep things separate, you get a clearer picture of how a team or project is really doing. It's like, there's no reason to fudge the numbers ("cook the books") when you've got someone else checking your work. But if the marketing team is grading their own homework, well, they might make it look a little better than it really is, right?
