🚀 Why This Course Will Help You Succeed in Product Management


You finally did it! After countless hours of interview prep and resume revisions, you locked in your first role as an entry-level product manager, and you can't wait to start your first PM role.

But, there’s a nagging doubt in the back of your mind.

As an incoming product manager, you're expected to lead your product to victory. Yet, your classes in school never covered the basics of product management:

  • What does a spec look like?
  • How do you work with engineers and designers?
  • How much detail should a roadmap cover?
  • If a customer pushes back against your feature, what do you do?

It's no wonder you feel anxious about starting your first PM job!

But there's no need to worry. You’re in the right place.

We crafted this video course to address all of the questions above, and more.

After all, that's why we're here - to help you succeed as a product manager.

🤓 My Motivation for Creating This Course


I personally started with zero product management experience.

I graduated college with a degree in cell biology, and I spent my time in undergrad in science laboratories conducting academic research.

I didn't know how to code or how to design, and I had no idea how software worked. I didn't know anything about managing projects or influencing stakeholders, and I didn't know how to set a product vision.

But, once I broke into product management, I swiftly rose the ranks.

Within just 18 months, I was promoted from Associate Product Manager to Product Manager, then from Product Manager to Sr. Product Manager, then from Sr. Product Manager to Group Product Manager.

During my career as a PM, I shipped 10 software products each worth millions of dollars in annual recurring revenue, and I shipped dozens of smaller products as well.

I've been invited to speak for 100+ organizations, I've written multiple books, and I've personally earned $2+ million in compensation (salary, equity, and bonuses) by the age of 28.

I want you to have the same success.

In fact, I want you to surpass me.

Now that you're an incoming PM (e.g. Associate Product Manager, Rotational Product Manager, or Product Management Intern), I want to give you the foundation I wish I had when I started in product.

Why?

Well, when I started as an associate product manager, I didn't know the first thing about product.

Being a product newbie was incredibly painful for me.

I was so scared that I'd screw up and make the wrong decisions.

I hated not understanding the foundations of good product management.

I worried about letting down my engineering and design counterparts.

I had terrible insomnia as a newly-minted product manager due to my anxiety, so I threw myself into 16-hour work days to make up for my lack of knowledge.

I spent my free time on weekends reading product management blogs and going to PM events.

I did this for months on end. It did eventually pay off... but it definitely wasn't the easiest thing to do.

Once I finally found my footing (but only after months of self-doubt and hundreds of hours of intense study), I rocketed up the ranks and slept much more soundly at night.

You don't have to have the same painful, time-consuming experience that I did as an associate PM.

I built this course to solve the pains that my past self had.

I don't want you to have to go through what I went through. I want to fast-track your success.

I've condensed the knowledge that I've learned over the years, as well as tips and tricks that come from speaking with thousands of product managers all over the world.

This course will dive into the key frameworks, principles, and processes that I've used to succeed as a product manager.

By taking this course, you'll be able to deliver more positive impact to users, feel more confident on the job, and accelerate your career path towards faster promotions and larger areas of ownership.

Within less than 8 hours, you'll learn how to crush it in the first 90 days at work, and you'll be armed with a plan for navigating the rest of your career as well.
