Shreyas Doshi (formerly product lead at Stripe, Twitter, Google, Yahoo) sits down with Kunal Shah to share ideas about what makes talent world-class.
Branding himself an ‘accidental writer’, Shreyas’ journey has transitioned into consulting with companies, coaching professionals and writing about his insights on social media.
With shared curiosities about managing a product, the two delve into second order thinking, natural talent versus hard work, elevating quality, and the traits and patterns that make a good product thinker.
After all, when innate judgment is countered with metrics, product thinking becomes both an art and a science.
