I've just released a new podcast episode with Petra Wille, author of "Strong Product People" as well as founder of Product at Heart. We went deep on what it means to be a product leader in the age of AI, what good product leadership looks like and how people can measure it. 👇

New podcast episode! I welcomed back @aprildunford.bsky.social to talk about her updated "Obviously Awesome" and all about product positioning in a world of AI. Check it out on your favourite podcast app or YouTube!

New podcast episode! @simplybastow.com was kind enough to take up guest host duties and interview me and @saeedwkhan.bsky.social about our recently-released research report, "The State of B2B Product Management".

B2B product management can hit different, but how different? @saeedwkhan.bsky.social and I were curious, and we wanted to find out, so we ran a survey towards the end of last year to find out. 425 people from 37 countries joined in and spent over 13 minutes giving thoughtful feedback 👇

Nothing puts me off a lead-gen agency faster than watching them put so little care into how they generate leads for themselves.

This is the type of AI coding story I like. Interesting, detailed, no hype. dmitrybrant.com/2025/09/07/u...

Pluribus Season 1 - interesting plot, great cast, wonderful performance by Rhea Seehorn. Yes, it's a slow burn at times, but the atmosphere and the attitude carry it through. Watch it and be impressed!

Nailed it

In my latest newsletter post, I exhort "AI Product Managers" to focus on doing "Proper Product Management" and focus on building defensible solutions that actually solve user needs - unfashionable, I know! oneknightinproduct.substack.com/p/beyond-ai-...

Out now! My "CPO Stories" episode with Katya Denike, Chief Product Officer at Holland & Barrett. We talked all about her journey into product leadership, the principles behind good product management teams, and the challenges of transforming a 150-year old retailer.

🌶️ Product Managers need to stop worrying about "being technical" and concentrate on doing their actual job well 🌶️ Are technical skills useless? No! Are they the whole job? Also no! You should be spending just as much time with users and business stakeholders as farting around with vibe coding.

There's still time to fill in The State of B2B Product Management if you want your say on what's going on in the crazy world of B2B Product 🙂 b2bproduct.io/state-of-b2b...

I listened to this on my run today and it's totally insane!

[needing this more than anything I have ever asked a person] no worries if not!

I've used LLMs to assist with code and built full applications even, but one thing I can definitely say from experience is that I would never want an "autonomous coding agent" let loose on any of my codebases ever
