    Having a friend in your corner is so powerful. Even more powerful? Having a friend in your corner who supports you and believes in you so deeply that they call you out on your bullshit. real-talk friends >> feel-good friends

    It’s the work of a PM to: 1/ Hold space for radically differing opinions across a team, and 2/ Use these conflicting opinions as datapoints to make high-quality, user-first product decisions. PMs talk endlessly about (2) and not enough about how to do (1) well.

    San Francisco is a meme of it’s own self this morning. Scooters & self-driving cars & fog. A lot of fog.

    Failure is hard. Success is harder. Success often yields praise, opportunity, and money. It can feel hard to leave a good thing once you’ve found success. It’s easy to feel “locked in.” Maybe the real tests of our character are our fights against the inertia of success.

    People communicate through their attendance. – Did they RSVP when you sent them an invite? – Did they show up on time or late? – Did they cancel an hour before? – ...or did they fail to show up at all? Showing up consistently might be the greatest gift you could give.

    Dear “good vibes only” humans, It’s a nice sentiment but a deeply stifling one. There’s so much more to feel — confusion, sadness, peace, loss, joy, love. The “good vibes” don’t tell half the story. Yours, Here for reality as it is, the good & the bad & everything in between

    Confidence comes from being open with one’s insecurities. It’s painfully paradoxical! Honest confrontation with my fears & anxieties has allowed me to build trust in myself and trust in my relationships with others. It’s from this place of trust that I’ve found confidence.

    I absolutely love novels. There’s something powerful & liberating about a book labeled “Fiction.” Novels give authors the freedom to write emotionally truthful & honest stories that aren’t held back by checkable facts. Non-fiction is filtered. Fiction tells the real stories.

    I had 4 different managers in 2019. I learned a ton from their varying strengths. Growing companies evolve by definition. Take the job expecting your manager to leave or transition to a new role. When that moment comes, maybe you’ll get to help hire your next manager!

    Reflecting on the last decade in . Turning it into a blog post, but going to frame up some observations here from my own experience. What else have you seen? We've come a long way, but we still have far to go. /1

    I used to be a PM at a startup building hiring software. I led 500+ user research calls w/ recruiters. Building a great team is hard work. It’s also the most important work for startups. Recruiters are heroes who often go under-appreciated. Thank you for all you do, recruiters!

    We spend the majority of our time in execution mode. This time of year is special: taking a break from execution creates the space to *design* the days and weeks to come. Intentional execution is the product of intentional design. Design proceeds doing.

    Quantitative metrics that come from qualitative user research. “75% of users prefer the new design.” You interviewed 4 users, 3 of whom like the new design. That’s 3 of 4 users interviewed, not 75% of users. Don’t quant your qual.

    The present is wide open, possibility-filled. Yet far too often, I’ve found myself living the present through the narrow dramas of the past. Maybe the greatest challenge of maturing is acknowledging and accepting the past, instead of allowing the past to manipulate the present.

    Build the right team → The product vision will come. Build the wrong team → Doesn’t matter how visionary the solution may be. You’re toast.

    Journey of reading a Google Doc: - open the doc - turn off print layout as laptops aren’t 8.5” x 11” - reformat the doc so that it’s readable - check email - read the doc Journey of reading a Dropbox Paper doc: - open the doc - judge the author’s emoji selection - read the doc

    People aren’t dreadful because they make mistakes. All humans make mistakes. People are dreadful when they refuse to acknowledge & own their mistakes. A primary school teacher once said to me, “You own your words & your actions.” That one-liner has always stuck with me.
