I know it’s about a decade late, but I’ve finally done my duty as a man of a certain age and started a podcast with my friend and former colleague at Nike, Joachim Groeger. It’s called Learn, Make, Learn, and we started it with the goal of helping people in the business of making products make, better.
The seed of the idea for this podcast genuinely was planted about a decade ago with my post here articulating WTF is a product manager? That post elicited way more feedback than I anticipated, which sparked the realization that there aren’t many resources out in the world for people interested in product creation in general, and product management in particular. That was true back in 2015 and, surprisingly, remains true today.
So, my hope is that with Learn, Make, Learn, we can shed light on what I think is a fantastic career path. And, as noted above, by sharing lessons learned over our careers creating digital and physical goods at firms running the gamut from start-ups to global brand names, we hope we can help just about anyone in the business of making products.
The image featured here is the “cover art” for our first episode, Hello World, where Joachim and I introduce ourselves. And we’ve also published an episode that builds on my post about product management.
If you’re interested in subscribing, you can find “Learn, Make, Learn” at any of the major podcast directories, or listen via the Web at LearnMakeLearn.com. I hope you find it useful!
