You took the job. Day one hits. And you realize: the product is bad. Maybe it's broken, maybe it's losing to competitors, or maybe there's just no market for it. Now what?

Nate and John break down the three types of bad products you'll encounter, how to diagnose which one you're dealing with, and what to actually do about it. From fixing broken functionality to pivoting when there's no market fit, this episode covers the scenarios most PMs face but few want to admit.

Plus: why job hopping might be your best education, the Batman effect on public transportation, and why $100K doesn't mean what it used to.
