Product Camp Radio, Premier episode on Preparing for Product Camp Austin with Larry McKeogh http://productcampaustin.orgLarry McKeogh on planning his presentation "The Product Of You" http://ow.ly/5UfSa  at  #PCATX #prodcareer  The Product of You – How are you managing it? Look at the news these days from the most dynamic sector of the U.S. economy — Silicon Valley. Facebook is now valued near $100 billion, Twitter at $8 billion, Groupon at $30 billion, Zynga at $20 billion and LinkedIn at $8 billion. These are the fastest-growing Internet/social networking companies in the world, and here’s what’s scary: You could easily fit all their employees together into the 20,000 seats in Madison Square Garden, and still have room for grandma. They just don’t employ a lot of people, relative to their valuations, and while they’re all hiring today, they are largely looking for talented engineers.   Larry’s background includes hardware design, both hardware & software product management. He's passionate about improving the role & effectiveness of product management within the organization.http://www.linkedin.com/in/larrymckeogh  Global List of Product Camps & Events: http://bit.ly/p7BHsM
