"Understand, Identify, and Execute" - three simple words that completely transformed my perspective on Product Management. I had fallen into the trap of "Identify, Justify, and Execute," but this podcast helped me recognize common pitfalls and strike a better balance. As always, thank you, Lenny, for yet another amazing podcast!

What I like about this podcast is that it goes wide and deep at the same time. I really liked the 3W framework for impact. It is a great way to remember and remind myself on what I need to focus on and what's missing right now. The second W - What you bring to the table is such a key thing.

I asked Claude to summarise this: Here is a summary of the key points from the podcast transcript: - The guest is Cameron Adams, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Canva, a hugely successful design software company. Canva is bigger than Figma, Invision, and Webflow combined, with $2.3B ARR and growing 60% year-over-year. - Cameron discusses Canva's culture, including concepts like "giving away your Lego" - finding joy in building teams and helping others grow. They have a unique "coaching" model instead of managers. - It took Canva a year to build an MVP before launching. Cameron believes in getting a product to spark joy and delight before releasing it, not just a bare minimum viable product. Social media managers were the initial excited user segment they focused on. - Canva grew largely through an incredible SEO and internationalization strategy early on, mapping user jobs-to-be-done to searchable templates. Translating to 100+ languages unlocked major international growth. - Their freemium model balances democratizing design access with building a viable business through Canva Pro subscriptions. Element sales transitioned into subscription revenue. - Canva is leaning heavily into AI as the next decade of innovation to further democratize design. They build some AI tech in-house, partner with AI leaders, and enable an AI app ecosystem. More AI features will be announced at an upcoming event. - In the next decade, Canva is focused on better enabling enterprise and collaborative design use cases to redesign how organizations work visually.

I asked it for insights for a PM: Yes, there are several valuable insights for product managers throughout the podcast: 1. Prioritize user experience and delight over rushing to market with a minimum viable product. Ensure your product sparks joy and excitement in users before launching. 2. Identify your target user segment by observing which group is most excited and emotionally resonant with your product during user testing. 3. Carefully craft your user onboarding to guide users through key actions and aha moments. Reducing barriers to entry and increasing delight is crucial. 4. Align product strategy with company vision and values. For Canva, their freemium model supported their mission of democratizing design, while the introduction of Canva Pro enabled business viability. 5. Adapt your product roadmap based on user behavior and requests. Canva introduced Canva Pro and later made images free based on user insights. 6. Incorporate new technologies like AI thoughtfully in ways that enhance your core product value and user goals, rather than just using tech for its own sake. 7. As your user base scales, identify opportunities to better serve their evolving and differing use cases, like Canva's increasing focus on enterprise and collaborative design. 8. Maintain a learning mindset and be open to change. What worked for Canva in the early days (like one-off image sales) had to eventually evolve to support the next stage of growth. 9. Product managers need to deeply understand and align with the culture of their company to succeed. Integrating with Canva's visual communication style is crucial.

Awesome video Lenny! Could you please make a video about requirement gathering? (Or if there are any good resources you recommend?) What sort of questions you ask your stakeholder when they request for a feature? And how do you say no to requests that might be un-impactful?

The only way the customer is truly served by this approach is if the professional truly cares about the wellbeing and needs of the customer. Without that, there is charlatanism or, at worst, professional theft.

This is so interesting : The fear of failure. I believe the future of sales is having coaches in sales positions. 1. We would be looking at the buying process with empathy and psychologically understanding 2. coaching vs advisory and understanding deeply what is really at the core. This is essential as a coach to get down to 3. Have a shifting moment but having to add an action to it. So this is where I as a sales person believe coaching techniques can be incredibly useful to assess what risks they are scared to take and how to overcome them with experimental action that is safe enough but potentially uncomfortable. Their agenda above our to keep the trust intact

On top of that, I specialise in working with ADHD professionals who have decision-paralysis at the core as a difficulty of their. There are fantastic ways to build this, those ways often require coaching and the belief building that they can trust their gut/research or anything they need to trust a decision path. I am so so intrigued by this conversation and have never decided to comment so much. Thank you Matt and Lenny for sharing such valuable information
