Product Love

This week on Product Love, I sat down with the VP of Product at Medium, Michael Sippey. We discussed a lot about hypotheses.

This week on Product Love, I talked to Kyle Poyar, VP of Market Strategy, about pricing. We discussed how pricing is seen as a dark art sometimes, but it shouldn't be.
