Today, our guest is Aakash Gupta, the author of Product Growth, the world's largest newsletter on product growth, with over 140K subscribers.

Aakash has held an extensive array of product leader roles, spanning from Director of Growth at threadUp, Lead Product Manager at Epic Games, Head of Product Growth at Affirm, to most recently serving as VP of Product at Apollo.i.

On today's episode, LogRocket's VP of Marketing, Jeff Wharton, talks to Aakash about the different archetypes of product leaders and how those leadership types influence the teams around them; what Aakash's three big wake-up calls were throughout his career that drove him to become a better product leader as his career progressed; and how product growth has become an increasingly imperative role within an organization and how to optimize it.
