Gibson Biddle

In this week's episode, I talk to Gibson Biddle, former VP of Product at Netflix and Chegg, about the DHM model--where we focus on delighting customers in hard-to-copy, margin-enhancing ways. Customer delight is always in first place. But what measures are we taking to ensure that? Let me know your thoughts at eboduch@pendo.io.

Duncan McCreery

At MemberClicks, product managers have to be entrepreneurs that own the product from top to bottom. Meaning, during pre-launch, they own the entire lifecycle. They do the initial marketing, positioning, sales, and support calls. This way, they're able to witness how the customer feels each product lifecycle, and they're able to make fixes as they go. This also helps build the credibility for product managers within their own organization.

Adam Avramescu

Christopher O'Donnell

In this week's episode of Product Love, I sat down with the SVP of Product, Christopher O'Donnell. We talked a lot about how Christopher built the startup, Sidekick, within Hubspot. Should all product companies be doing this? How does one go about implementing a startup within one?

Wyatt Jenkins

This week on Product Love, I went down to Patreon headquarters in San Francisco to talk to their SVP of Product, Wyatt Jenkins. It was awesome. We discussed pricing strategies and all the various tests you can use as a product manager. I would definitely try them all out in your next few customer interviews. We also talked about a red flag when it comes to hiring product managers, which really resonated with me. Check out the episode to see if you agree with Wyatt or not!

Michael Sippey

This week on Product Love, I sat down with the VP of Product at Medium, Michael Sippey. We discussed a lot about hypotheses. We all know the theory of change--if you change X, it will lead to Y result. But why not apply it to product management? Well, first, you need a really compelling hypothesis that is bold enough, and worth the development cycle to produce Y. How has your team created hypotheses?

Tatyana Mamut

When you look at product with those three different approaches, you come up with a foundation on how to work with these teams. Melissa believes that you get a holistic systems approach to product management, and can evaluate the product for its’ feasibility, usability, pricing, and more.

Christian Idiodi

This week on Product Love, I talked to Christian Idiodi, a partner at Silicon Valley Partner Group. Silicon Valley Partner Group was created to share senior level experience and best practices with technology companies. At SVPG, Christian stays engaged with the product community by mentorship. He works closely with two student-led startups every year.  Like most people, Christian stumbled into product management unintentionally.  When he worked at CareerBuilder, he won an annual competition where individuals could submit their entrepreneurial ideas. If they won, they could get funding and time to work on it. Spoiler: He won the competition. So what does he do with a massive check and a responsibility to run a business? In some ways, product management probably called out to him first.  To this day, he's been a product leader for over 15 years and has launched over 120 products.  On this week’s episode, we talked about customer-centric product managers, and his favorite interview question.

Radhika Dutt

Product managers and business leaders often wax poetic about how they want to change the world with their products or ideas. It’s natural. As product managers, your mission is to obsess over a problem, and find a unique solution that impacts your customers. But how much of that impact are you responsible for? Radhika Dutt believes that you’re responsible for a lot more than you think.

Bootstrapping. Pricing. Freemium. Three words that incite fear in most product-minded people. But don’t close your tab just yet. This week on Product Love, I sat down with Patrick Campbell, who has managed to turn those three things into a pretty successful company called Profitwell.

Scott Belsky

I asked Scott Belsky the age-old product cliché — is product management a science or an art? His answer was that it’s clearly both. Sure, product management has scientific themes — there’s the experimentation, testing, and data. But it also calls on some things that are more qualitative, like empathy for the user and the creativity necessary to stay competitive.Before he was the chief product officer at Adobe, he was the CEO and founder of Behance, a platform that allows creatives to share their portfolios. He also had a brief stint as an entrepreneur and investor, and wrote two books: Making Ideas Happen, and The Messy Middle.This week on Product Love, Scott and I talked about the science and art of product management.
