Season 2 Preview: Advancing Your Product Career in an AI World [Live Taping]

We're back for Season 2, launching Feb 20! We recently held our first live Unsolicited Feedback taping where Brian & Fareed discussed Advancing Your Product Career in an AI World. They also had the opportunity to answer your questions live! We have more of these events planned, so if you're interested in attending, be sure to sign up for our email list at Unsolicitedfeedback.co. In today's episode, Brian revisits his now legendary blog post, How to Become a Customer Acquisition Expert. In short, the post focuses on enhancing your skillsets by adopting a "T" shape approach. In any role, such as product or marketing, it's crucial to have a broad understanding of key topics. This wide knowledge base helps you grasp the entire discipline, providing context, aiding in strategic comprehension, and linking the functional strategy to the company's overall strategy. It makes you a versatile player. However, it's equally important to delve deeply into a specific topic. Aim to position yourself among the top 10% of professionals in a particular skill or topic within your field. That framework became a core pillar of our Product Strategy program and has remained sound advice to this day… Now with the rise of AI, does anything about this framework change? And is AI PM going to be a thing? For a full summary of the key takeaways, head to UnsolicitedFeedback.co! 

Om Podcasten

Tired of interview podcasts? Us too. That's why we created Unsolicited Feedback - the podcast that should have come out 5 years ago, but we're making it anyway. In this podcast, Brian Balfour (Reforge, HubSpot), Fareed Mosavat (Reforge, Slack) and friends provide unfiltered feedback on the products they actually use, along with key product lessons. Essentially, we're taking the conversations that happen between experts at invite-only happy-hours and delivering them to the podcast platform of your choice. Although no one asked for their opinions, they're sharing them. It's like eating Goodles when you want Kraft Mac n Cheese, or Olipop when you want Pepsi - it feels wrong, yet so right. Each week, they analyze recent announcements, features, and releases across product and growth. The hosts make predictions about where Threads and Twitter will be in a year, and analyze unparalleled growth loops at LinkedIn. They give respect where it's due, but also deliver tear-downs when the writing’s on the wall. Sorry, not sorry!
