The Product Science Podcast

Barry O’Reilly is the Founder of ExecCamp and author of Lean Enterprise. This week on the Product Science Podcast, we talk about the lessons he’s learned from software development, and how he works with business leaders to create an environment that’s safe to fail. Learn about the principles behind his new book, Unlearn, and what startup founders need to think about as they make key business decisions.

Michel Feaster is the founder and CEO of the startup Usermind. She has 20 years of product management experience under her belt in software. This week on the Product Science Podcast, we find out how she went from working at a gas station to working for a billion-dollar software company, and get a chance to hear about the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Marty Cagan is founder of the Silicon Valley Product Group. We get the chance to sit down and talk about the lessons he’s learned over his long career in product management. Marty works with a variety of companies, so he has an insider’s view into best practices. We talk through mentorship, the importance of product management, how companies can escape their roadmap addiction, and much more.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Product Science Podcast. We’re focused on helping startup founders and product leaders build high-growth products, teams, and companies. We have real conversations with the people who have tried it and aren’t afraid to share the lessons they’ve learned (and the mistakes they’ve made) along the way. The Product Science Podcast is hosted by Holly Hester-Reilly, Founder and CEO of H2R Product Science. In this episode, we’ll talk about Holly’s background, what evidence-based product science is all about, and what you as a listener (and hopefully a subscriber) can expect to get out this podcast going forward.
