Lenny's w CPO of ... many things

Notes from lennys podcast

Language actually effects the way you think

Higher level of abstraction - as calculator did for maths (what A.I. will provide)

Counter intuitive lesson - product sometimes doesn’t matter

Uber

Price and eta was the product

Digital manifestation view - but from wholistic perspective sometimes pixels don’t matter as much as you think (B2B a lot)

No tech breakthrough then product matter

Tech breakthrough even then shortly product will start mattering

Closeness between training and product valuable

Growth mindset

Hiring the right team

LinkedIn on stuff I’m learning for PM

Past blog

Relate also to previous experiences

I think what is underlining this podcast so far is that he was so adept at product and that it actually became the other stuff that mattered

Eg. Team etc

It’s like being at something?

Repetition doesn’t spoil the prayer

Repeat the mission

Especially for managing up (language affecting thought)

Be intentional about what we build

Say what you’re going to do, tell them your doing it (re-affirm/ check) close the loop, say you did it

Artifacts to communicate

Attention to craft whilst having perspective to understand what matters and what doesn’t

Empathise

Define

Ideate
