  • EP 132 - Hacking Your PM Job Search with Marcus Polini
    2025/06/25
    In this episode we welcome Marcus Polini to share the story behind his recent job search in product leadership, and the practical tools, frameworks, and mindsets that helped him land his next big role.

    Marcus’s journey, like almost every product person we talked with, is anything but linear. From his roots in geomatics engineering and a hackathon win that led to founding CityConnect, to the hard lessons of startup failure, Marcus’s path has been shaped by persistence and a passion for building. After applying to 60 front-end engineering jobs, he pivoted into project management and quickly found his calling in product, bridging his entrepreneurial appetite with a growing interest in healthcare and technology.

    Before entering the job market, Marcus headed Product at Medstack, which was acquired and his position was cut during the merger. This was an opportunity for him to explore what he loves doing and where he sees himself in his future career path. His path to his current position, as Head of Product, Platform at Dispatch Integration, inspired us to talk with him on the show about the process and tools he applied.

    Join Matt and Moshe as we dive deep into Marcus’s most recent job search, exploring:
    • How he used the Phyl Terry’s “Never Search Alone” process to set up a Job Search Council who helped him move through the search
    • The frameworks he used to narrow down his values, passions, and motivating forces
    • How he planned his career path as a product, complete with KPIs for personal outcomes
    • The tactical tools that made a difference
    • Using consulting as a path to a full-time product leadership role at Dispatch Integration
    • The critical role of community and mentorship throughout the process
    • The impact of AI on the modern job search
    • How to use AI thoughtfully to enhance, not replace, your authenticity in the job search
    • His favorite AI tools and how he uses them
    • And so much more!

  • EP 131 - New Book: Design for Impact with Erin Weigel
    2025/06/11
    What does it really take to build products that drive results, and how can experimentation transform your business? In this episode of the Product for Product Podcast, we sit down with Erin Weigel, author of Design for Impact, Advisor at ABsmartly and Principal Designer, to unpack the essential lessons from her new book and her years of experience at Booking.com.

    Erin shares why Design for Impact was the book that needed to be written, not just for designers, but for anyone looking to grow their business or product through scientific experimentation and system thinking. Drawing on her journey from internal talks to conference keynotes, Erin reveals how she developed the Conversion Design Process and the “flying wheel” visual that demystifies how businesses really work.

    Erin also discusses why experimentation requires bravery from leadership, how to get buy-in without waiting for permission, and why simple, proven tools often outperform complex processes. Join Matt and Moshe as we dived with Erin into:
    • Her background and how she got to write the book
    • The step-by-step process Erin used at Booking.com—and how it can be generalized to any organization
    • How to apply experimentation and A/B testing beyond the design team
    • Why ownership in experimentation should be shared, not siloed, to strengthen outcomes
    • The counterintuitive truths behind successful organizations (and why most common assumptions are wrong)
    • How to start building a culture of experimentation, even if your company isn’t there yet
    • The importance of “testing like you’re wrong” and being honest with what the data shows
    • Practical frameworks like the 60-40 split (60% low-effort experiments, 40% long-term bets) to prioritize learning and impact
    • And so much more!

  • EP 129 - Digital Transformation with Kiron Jones
    2025/05/16
    Digital transformations are hard! But they are a necessary need in our era for any organization who wants to keep their competitive edge, adapt to changing environments, build moats against new disruptors, and grow their market share. And more complex the organization structure and ecosystem are, the more challenging said transformation, hence the need for tools and frameworks to help us.

    On the show today we met with Kiron Jones, Group Product Manager at Springer Nature, the world's largest academic book and journals publisher. The organization was created by a merger and acquisition of multiple publishers. This created a complex technical environment of many systems to support the business, publish the books and journals, and access the market.


    In addition, the entire academic publishing sector has moved into a new open access model. Where in the past, libraries had to buy subscriptions to give access to readers for the materials, these days the access to the materials is free, and the authors are the ones charged to publish. Servicing this changed model has challenged the industry to come up with new solutions for the new clients, while still supporting high quality publications.


    Product management in such an environment, as we learn from Kiron, is a challenging and rewarding task. The tools he and his team are using, and in some cases still on the lookout for, are helping them with stakeholder communication, prioritization and roadmapping, and so much more.


    Join Matt and Moshe as we chatted with Kiron about:

    • How he got into product management
    • Digital and product challenges from Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
    • Dealing with shifting ecosystem that changes the Product-Market Fit, the user and buyers personas, their user journey, and the tools needed to create value for them
    • Dealing with challenges when not knowing who your users are
    • Some of the tools and methods he is using to help with these challenges
    • Opportunities for new tools that can solve more problems
    • CMS as a tool both for users and for product people
    • Some success and failure stories with tools adoption
    • How AI can help in elevating some of the work
    • And much more!

  • EP 128 - New Book: What do Product Managers Do? with Tami Reiss
    2025/04/30
    Have you ever been asked by a non-product person “what is it that you actually do?” We are sure you have! We know we and many of our friends have been through this, and it’s never an easy task to explain. Moreover, don’t you sometimes feel that people you work with - your teammates, stakeholders, and even your boss - don’t always understand what a Product Manager job really is? That was the exact problem our guest in this episode was about to solve. And the solution she built is… a children's book!

    Meet Tami Reiss, product leader and founder of Leader Within, where she conducts keynote speaking, training, workshops, exec coaching and more! Tami wrote the book “What do Product Managers Do?A primer for aspiring PMs of all ages and parents who aren't sure it's a real job”, due to be released May 15th.Inspired by her own children, the book is a rhyming introduction to leadership and influence. Packaged with beautiful illustrations by V Lubow, and a dictionary with simple definitions of the terms we take for granted, this book does a great - and entertaining - job in explaining what we do, who we work with, some of our challenges and more.

    Join Matt and Moshe as we chatted with Tami about:

    - Her background in product and leadership
    - How she got to write the book
    - Building the book as a product
    - Product Management lessons learned from working on the book
    - A/B testing and user testing - testing the stanza and words in the book
    - The complexity of the terms and words we are using
    - Her vision for the book and how it can help all of us product people
    - How would AI impact the job of PMs and the team in the future
    - When is the best time for inspiration for new ideas?
    - The importance of humility - even to admit that the data might be wrong
    - Listen to some fun stanza read by Tami, and how much meaning they pack in a few words
    - What does “dream” means (in the product context) and why is it important for product people to share it
    - Where can you get the book once it’s out
    - And much more!

  • EP 127 - New Book: PRFAQ Framework with Marcelo Calbucci
    2025/04/16
    You might have heard about Amazon’s 6-pages document, or PRFAQ. But have you tried it yourself? And why aren’t there many other successful companies who are following Amazon’s direction, and use the same method, one that seems to be winning Amazon some very big bets?

    Our guest today on the podcast worked for Amazon as a Director of Product & Tech, and experienced the PRFAQ framework first hand. When he left Amazon he asked these same questions. Following some research, he decided to codify and bring to print the principle of the PRFAQ method, therefore making it accessible not only to Amazonians but to everyone else who would like to try it, and reap its benefits.


    Meet Marcelo Calbucci, Founder of PRFAQ Lab and author of the recently published The PRFAQ Framework: Adapting Amazon’s Innovation Framework to Work for You. With a rich background in engineering and product management, and founding several startups, Marcelo experienced both success and failures in developing and bringing new products to market. That enforced his commitment to help others become more successful with the framework he saw working so well at Amazon.


    Join Matt and Moshe as we chatted with Marcelo about:

    • His way to product management from software development
    • What is the PRFAQ and what it is not
    • The structure of the framework
    • What should go into the document, and what should definitely stay out
    • Who owns the PRFAQ at the company, and who participates in writing it?
    • How is the framework in the book different from what is practiced at Amazon?
    • Why is writing such an important tool?
    • How can, or can’t, AI help us in writing a PRFAQ?
    • The benefits of treating the PRFAQ as a product
    • For which projects or initiatives is it good to use the PRFAQ framework, and for which it’s not needed?
    • How can you introduce it in your company if there is no buy-in to use it?
    • And much more!
