Okay, So 1 min in and already hooked.
That's why I love Lenny. Instead of going on a tangent of his own like most podcast hosts do, he asks a nuanced question which can have multiple answers. And then, he lets the guest speak without interruption.
I like the framework of thinking of users as "lazy, vain, and selfish".
It would be cool to have a product leader from Europe and China to talk about product from their perspectives.
Especially from Europe, as Marty Cagan pointed out many times European companies are obsessed with process, which leads them to have a feature team rather than a product team.
It's fantastic to see Anuj in Lenny's podcast :). Thanks, Lenny, for finally making it happen. I look forward to seeing more people speak of the evolving Product scene in India globally.
Nice to see Anuj on this podcast. Very insightful 🙌
I did not know about Anuj, but I came away with a wealth of info about the contrarian thinking towards successful Product Management. Great choice Lenny.
Nice to see Anuj here, great work Lenny & Anuj!! 👍👍
amazing insights, and thoughts around full stack product managers are spot on.
This was super insightful and useful. Thanks Lenny for bringing in Anuj here.
This video was really helpful for all us budding PM folks.
Thanks Lenny for this podcast!
This was a great podcast. Thanks for interviewing all the product managers that you do, Lenny. The conversations are very insightful and I have learned a lot. If I can make one suggestion that I believe would improve your podcast tremendously: sometimes you finish enunciating each word fully and stopping before starting with the next word rather than letting them flow into one another. I believe if you allow words to flow more between one another, it would improve the podcast. Again, thanks for all the great content!
Amazing insights for anyone building in India not just pms
Amazing insights!! 👏
Very interesting interview. Thanks a lot
We are in the business of influence. We are influencing users to do something else, engineers to build something fast, leadership to sign off on plans. PMs are Fullstack influencers.

Lenny just one question :D
I'm just starting with your channel and there's a lot to listen.
So what you can name as a top 5 vid's to improve the product vision and product management skills, specifically in growth field.
I'm more about starting from, cause hope soon will dedicate time to watch all of these
