Scaling zero to $25M product growth lessons | Michael Park, Product Coach & Advisor (BombBomb, Rendi)

Today, our guest is Michael Park, Product Coach and Advisor who previously served as CPO of BombBomb, a video messaging software company.

Michael began his career in product design at Havoc, where he transitioned into product management and eventually became VP of product. Michael then served in leadership roles at Danielson Designs and Rendi, a customizable frames and signs company. Most recently, he spent nearly nine years at BombBomb, where he oversaw the product life cycle, managed a 20-person product team, and expanded the customer base from SMB to enterprise.

On today's episode, LogRocket's VP of Marketing, Jeff Wharton, talks to Michael about his six lessons from scaling product from zero to $25M ARR; the nuance that comes with the “founder mode” discussion in relation to best leadership practices; and what a self-imposed sabbatical taught Michael about product leadership.
