About this listen
In this second Best Of episode, Leah and Marilyn revisit Episodes 11–20 — a set of conversations that explored burnout as data, the importance of communication, and the courage it takes to build meaningful products. Featuring guests like Charity, Sunny, Greg, Ryan, Steve, and Ali, this collection highlights the deeply human side of product work. It’s a reminder that great product leadership comes from curiosity, clarity, and the willingness to challenge old patterns.
Key Takeaways
1. Burnout Is Data, Not Drama
When energy fades or creativity dips, it’s not failure — it’s a signal worth paying attention to.
2. People Build Software — Communication Is the Real Glue
Most product challenges stem from communication breakdowns, not technical ones. Trust and clarity are foundational.
3. Curiosity + Courage > Predictability + Roadmaps
Experimentation, iteration, and informed risk-taking are essential — not chaotic — parts of modern product craft.
