Top 20% dev then he switched 🙆🏽♂️.
Probably turned out well but top 20% software engineer in Silicon Valley is a pretty hectic achievement
Keep doing these podcast, one day you'll break your equilibrium of growth and grow exponentially.....Untill then these podcasts are reserved for thinkers like us. Good work dude
I can’t imagine that Lenny hasn’t hit exponential growth, I mean, are there PMs who don’t listen to Lenny or read his newsletters??

I love this episode! The pre-mortem, LNO and three layers of product work are super useful tools! I recently quit my PM job because of the false execution issues and focus on ROI culture of the company. Hearing these problems presented in a structured way crystallized the reasons behind many of the symptoms I saw. Thank you for sharing your wisdom Shreyas! Lenny, you are so good at this! You asked every single question I had in my mind when following the conversation. Thank you 🙏
20:10 the twitter prediction is spot-on: "unless something terrible happens". Listening to this nine months later and looking back, well it kinda had happened.
great point!
Just a suggestion to add the key phrases in the video. I love the podcast with subtitles on but would be great if Intro can have the words pop-up. You got a soothing voice Lenny. Good luck!
Another Expert Host 🥳 Thanx a. Lot " LR " - Learn from Lenny Rachitsky Podcast "... Very useful
This is one of the best episodes and thoroughly enjoyed all the nuggets of insights shared.
It sounds like John at Stripe was very good at identifying what outcomes customers were looking for and bringing attention back to that rather than outputs. Was interesting to hear that.
This podcast is so great even the ad products could be helpful and smth new to check)
amazing video
Ooh to be a Shreyas in my lifetime… 🤍
Excellent! Great work Lenny.
that's brilliant, man
Thanks you so much for sharing these insights. This is definitely helpful for someone like me who is new to PM.
I loved this. Being a PM is hard, so hard. Sometimes i think about giving all up... but i continue, and try to grow, learn and improve. This Podcast, and the way, the way in which Shreyas talked about this real and not theoretical stuff that just happens day to day in our jobs was awesome and heartwarming to hear.
What a nice and intense conversation, how Lenny runs it and how Shreyas joyfully answered every question taking it as an opportunity to enligten the audience, gives me a feeling that I will get better applying these ideas and techniques very soon.
This is a good example outcome of Intent driven leadership where creativity and innovation are encouraged in word and in action and at heart.
Getting to this a bit late but so many gems here that was relatable. The most relatable was LNO concept. It reminded me of scenarios when the managers were incapable of understanding all tasks are not created equal and exhaust their teams by sending them to chase 10 things in 10 direction. This concept is good to teach in leadership lessons
Top class episode
Simply perfect speaker and video material. Lenny - great podcast! Thank you!!!
Thank you!
Amazing thoughts. Added a lot of value
Great podcast. Enjoyed a lot 🙌
This was super ! thank you so much
Great podcast; Highly informative, authentic. Shreyas drives the point (quoting real-life examples) so lucidly with such clarity. In many hi-tech and modern enterprises conflicts, misalignments crop up even though every team tries its' best to excel. So much of blame-game, pointing fingers, and constant firefighting can be avoided and eliminated if the top leadership is cognizant of these issues.
This podcast is sheer gold. Thanks to Shreyas for the insights and Lenny for conducting a wonderful interview. Loved it!
Simply pearls of wisdom, backed by real world insights and anecdotes !!
Loved it! Very insightful and thought provoking
This was amazing! I'll have to watch this multiple times, so much great insight. Thank you, super helpful for an APM looking to elevate their career
Great Stuff. It is all great music to my ears. Thanks Lenny for taking time to host Shreyas and initiate this great podcast
Spot ON!! So much stuff he talks about resonates. I learned so much. Thanks @Shreyas and @Lenny
Shreyas is so insightful
Nice Job Lenny. Very helpful content 💪
Currently going through a career segue and your podcast is really helpful. Thank you so much.
super
too good
If you Want get a competitive advantage over peer PMs, Listen carefully to this
Amazing content
I'd like to start a career in product management but I have no tech background. Is a tech background absolutely necessary?
Coda is amazing. My entire brain lives in Coda.
Thanks Lenny for creating this video. Great to see two of my favorite PM legends.
I am wondering If I can get your thoughts on this - I recently discovered product management but my impression so far is that I can be paid well (sweet sweet tech salary), don't need to code, don't need any special certifications/MBA/MS Computer Science (or any specific degrees for that matter) or specific experiences.
Seems too good to be true. Wondering if I am missing something?
In my experience, it’s the accountability. You set the direction and strategy for your product (making sure it’s aligned with the overall strategy).
If your team works on the wrong thing, or or a small list of okay things but not the thing your product or customer needs, that’s on the PM. The PM has let down the team, the product, the company.
And some PMs do code, some do design but it’s more that as PM you need to know enough about all aspects that impact your product to be able to decide on a coherent strategy, know what the teams priorities should be, and know what is right for the product.
