  • Emotional Intelligence for Product Managers: The Critical Capability AI Can't Replicate

    Emotional Intelligence for Product Managers: The Critical Capability AI Can't Replicate
    Jun 8 2026
    As product management becomes increasingly data-driven and AI-powered, one human capability is growing in importance: emotional intelligence. In this episode, you'll discover why emotional intelligence is a critical complement to data, analytics, and AI, how it helps product managers and product leaders create better products and build stronger relationships, and why it may have a greater impact on product success than intellectual ability alone. You'll also learn practical techniques for strengthening your emotional intelligence—from increasing self-awareness and self-management to developing empathy, active listening, and conflict-resolution skills.

  • The Product Strategy Framework: A Revised Guide for Product Leaders

    The Product Strategy Framework: A Revised Guide for Product Leaders
    May 11 2026

    One of the biggest mistakes I see product managers make is making decisions in isolation: Deciding on strategy without considering how it impacts product discovery and delivery, or determining UX and features without letting strategy guide those choices. Great products, however, aren’t built by separating strategy from execution. They’re created by connecting them. That’s exactly why I developed my product strategy model—a simple but powerful way to link product vision, strategy, roadmap, and backlog. This episode describes the framework in its latest, revised version.

  • Should Product Managers be Product Builders?

    Should Product Managers be Product Builders?
    Apr 15 2026

    Is it a good thing when product managers are hands-on and use AI to build prototypes and generate code? Will it increase productivity and job satisfaction? Will it deliver better products faster? Or will it result in poorly designed applications full of technical debt that nobody wants and needs?
