Great video, but you really don’t need the music. In places, it makes it quite difficult to concentrate on what you’re saying.

[@aryanvani6931]

Hi Aakash, loved the content, please continue this PM interview series.

[@growproduct]

So happy to hear it! Can do

[@GiacomoZivieri]

The content is great, but in some moments the music was too loud (hard to listen) and not fitting with the content speaking about, nor the pacing of your speak. That said, the content is valuable

[@growproduct]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll make the next video better on the music part.

[@NirajSingh-sy3et]

can you please make a video on "What's your favourite product and why?"

[@growproduct]

Yep!

[@jg26ub]

Thanks for this. Minor thing, but, can you work on minimizing your lip smacking throughout the video? I'm not sure if it's dry mouth or just a bad habit, but it's distracting and takes away from the messaging.

[@sahil_190]

On a lighter note, you don't have to use thick Indian accent for the common pitfall :) at @6:13

[@growproduct]

Haha that's not Indian that's bored Aakash

[@vijaykumarmylswamy8927]

hi Akash, the voice is not in sync

[@growproduct]

I'll improve video lag/sync issues in next video. Thanks for the feedback.
