Your product strategy might be your biggest roadblock. Sounds counterintuitive, right?

Well, according to Ed, if you're spending weeks crafting the perfect strategy, you're already behind.

In this episode, we are breaking down Ed’s “Snap Strategy” approach that will revolutionize your product management style.

We are challenging everything you thought you knew about building successful products — from debunking the myth of the “product purist” and learning how to become a great product leader to exploring product management in the world of AI, and much more.

Ed is one of the most experienced people in the field. Lately, he’s been applying his expertise as an interim CPTO at FYLD and as founder of Hustle Badger, a paid subscription for PM career newsletters and courses.

Previously, he was SVP of Product at Jobandtalent, CPO at FutureLearn, Director of Product at Depop, and Director of Product at Rocket Internet. He also had a long career before that, stretching back to 2004 where he was at McKinsey.
