Always giving nuggets for good reminders!
As a product manager in retail tech, every episode feels like a coffee break with someone who actually gets it. Not just best practices, but real-world reminders that cut through the noise. It’s that rare combo of practical and thoughtful - the kind of perspective that helps you zoom out, refocus, and get back to building with more clarity. A must-listen for anyone in the trenches of retail or tech.
