Description

In this episode, João was speaking to André Albuquerque, VP of Product at Kitch, founder of the One Month PM and one of the speakers of the first Product Weekend event, held in May. André has a vast and diverse experience. He worked at Google, created a course and community to help people build better products, helped grow Uniplaces from the ground up and now he's doing the same at Kitch. Besides being a VP of Product he is also a professor, a startup advisor, a surfer and a father to an 8-month-old dog. By the end of the episode, you have a lot of books, travel and podcast recommendations from him. I hope you enjoy the episode and learn as much as I did.
