Yeah, so you were actually one of the launch episodes, the first 20, 30 guests that I had on the podcast.

This was two or three years ago, something like that.

And a lot has changed in the world of product management since then.

And we're going to be basically spending this entire episode talking about what is changing in the role and the career of a product manager.

And what I especially love about you talking to you and hearing your insights is you don't sugarcoat what's going on.

You're very real about like, here's what you need to know about what is going on.

So we're going to be talking about the good and the bad and just like a lot of advice for product managers in particular.

To kick things off, give us just kind of the big picture view into what is changing for product managers, the good and then maybe the scary stuff.

Wow.

What an incredible overview.

This episode is brought to you by our season's presenting sponsor, WorkOS.

What do OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Vercel, Replit, Sierra, Clay, and hundreds of other winning companies all have in common?

They are all powered by WorkOS.

If you're building a product for the enterprise, you've felt the pain of integrating single sign-on, skim, RBAC, audit logs, and other features required by large companies.

WorkOS turns those deal blockers into drop-in APIs with a modern developer platform built specifically for B2B SaaS.

Literally every startup that I'm an investor in that starts to expand upmarket ends up working with WorkOS.

And that's because they are the best.

Whether you are a seed stage startup trying to land your first enterprise customer or a unicorn expanding globally, WorkOS is the fastest path to becoming enterprise-ready and unblocking growth.

It's essentially Stripe for enterprise features.
