Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Why half of product managers are in trouble | Nikhyl Singhal (Meta, Google) · 19 Apr 2026 podcast

or I spent a bunch of time talking to my friends or hacking away, or I just spent time talking to Claude about it.

Even my wife has a story about how she has this business that she's thinking through, and she went from using the AIs to do business plan, to actually do test market.

And everyone has this moment of joy, and then they're like hooked.

It's like they've caught a bug.

And at that moment is when they cross the threshold between fear to joy and joy is the biggest antidote to burnout.

And it creates opportunity because the moment you have joy, the moment it doesn't feel like work.

And I think most product management feels like work if you're not building.

And we are now moving into a world where product management will be building and joy, not work.

So you just need to find a path to get there.

And the moment you do, the rest of your human psyche creates time, doesn't feel like you're disappointing others, and builds energy.

Because people have more energy than they realize.

They're just so exhausted by the monotony of what was defined as product management.

And so that is the number one piece of advice is have you found joy?

Now, there's a class of person who's like, none of this is joyful.

Like, I find the whole thing to be kind of boring, nauseating.

I don't really like it.

I'm like, well, then you're probably not in for the next version of our industry, you know, and you should be respectful of that and you should be honest with yourself.

But there's a lot of product people that are right now very anxious that actually are going to be happier once they cross the chasm.

And all they need to do is find a way to create that moment of joy, whether that's an app on their side or the app at your work.

And if you're a leader listening to this, you should find those moments of joy in your staff.
