I listen to about 200 podcasts a year. But I have a feeling this will be the best one I listen to in 2022. Pod Summary - @joerogan Experience - #1780 w/ @MaajidNawaz At the risk of getting cancelled - here we go; open.spotify.com/episode/1ugbn7…

@stephsmithio Tips; 1. Get good bathers, swimming cap and goggles. 2. Keep your head down - if you have it looking forward / up - your legs will drop and ruin your body positioning. 3. Start by doing individual laps well. Better to get used to swimming well than swimming tired to start.

I took swimming lessons growing up but am an objectively bad swimmer. Decided 2026 is the year I become a good swimmer. Specific goal is to be able to calmly swim for 30 mins like running in Z2. Anyone else done something similar? Any tips or resources?

@tferriss The latter, I’m one data point but exclusively audio on podcasts app and have been listening for what feels a 8+ years. I’m always going to listen -and my main decision point; - tag line topics in the podcast app - in other pods they do checkpoint on topics covered during.

If you listen to or watch The Tim Ferriss Show, which would you prefer? Fewer episodes with better video (studio), or more episodes that are mostly audio-only, with weirder/less-known guests and more experimental formats?

@sebbunney @PrestonPysh You asked for book recommendations, for a good overview on where the hockey pucks going on multiple technological advances - @michiokaku's Physics of the future!

It never ceases to amaze me how fast the world is changing. With that in mind, @PrestonPysh and I jumped on a call to unpack some of the wild advancements unfolding right now… and what they actually mean for us, and the world around us. Hope you enjoy the episode. And if there’s something in the world of technological change that has your attention, drop it in the comments — we’d love to explore it.

@ARishi_ @shreyas What’s an example Rishi! I’d be keen to do the course myself.

Day 1 of @shreyas's Product Sense course in the books. Overriding early feeling: I've severely underestimated the number of Aha! moments I'm going to experience over the next week.

@ShaanVP The man is Dallas

@theBTCMiningGuy Thoughts on IREN?

$MARA could 9-10x in a year

@PrestonPysh @americanhodl8 I’m just getting through Economic Hitman… will add this to the list 😅

When ⁦@americanhodl8⁩ isn’t hitting on your wife/daughter, he is probably one of the best sources for book recommendations. If anyone else is struggling with the question of “consciousness” with everything happening in Ai etc., I found this book to be really good!

@Leishman Now onto providing Rivers products and services in Australia?

Thank you! Reducing the time to withdraw #Bitcoin was the most frequent request we got and we have been working hard on it. More to come... And don't stop sending us your complaints and feedback. It's how we get better.

@PrestonPysh Australian alternative?

With everyone talking about the ETF this week, I want to strongly encourage (once again) self-custody. I personally use River to buy #Bitcoin. Yes, River sponsors my podcast. But the real reason I personally use River is because I have an enormous amount of respect for Alex @Leishman, his ethics, and the team he has assembled. He has built a top-tier quality #Bitcoin only exchange and it’s beyond easy to use. Here’s the link if you want to check it out: River.com/Fundamentals

Did it hurt? When you built the feature users said they wanted and they didn't use it.

@carlvellotti “Yes”

What's the best way to say no to a feature request? Wrong answers only.

@justineidea @carlvellotti That’s beautifully said. The forgotten areas 1 - persuade an exec team to keep funding you 2 - build enthusiasm in the team These 2 lenses are too frequently forgotten when people merely just “come to work”.

@carlvellotti Ability to generate alignment, consensus, build support across teams & levels are as important or possibly more important to success as a PdM than “hard skills” like coding & design.

What do you wish someone had told you before you became a product manager?

@carlvellotti It’s not easy being in the middle.

@tkenerson_ @tfadell Absolutely - the kind of stuff school will beat out of us

@jack_retty @tfadell Goes back to intuitive fundamentals of most humans: be curious - regardless of your age.

Happy Sunday to tech workers who know the difference between mission-driven employers and market-driven employers.

@cliftonsellers Gotta love them!

Don't forget them.

@AliDAdabi @tfadell Thanks for the share Ali!

What's one product article you think every PM in the world should read?
