My sister called me at 2:00 AM. She was crying. "Come get me. Please. I think my husband is dead." I was already putting on my shoes. "Where are you?" "The closet. He's in the bedroom. He's been standing there for three hours. He hasn't moved." "Who hasn't moved?" "Tom. My husband. But it's not Tom." I drove to her house in fifteen minutes. She lives twenty minutes away. I didn't knock. She left the back door unlocked like she said. I found her in the bedroom closet. Kneeling behind her winter coats. Shaking. I pulled her out. "Where is he?" She pointed to the bed. No one was there. "He was here," she whispered. "Standing right there. Facing the wall. For three hours." I checked the whole house. Empty. Her car was in the driveway. His car was gone. "Claire. Where is Tom?" She looked at me. Her eyes were strange. Not scared. Confused. "Tom died," she said. "Three years ago. You were at the funeral." I stared at her. "Claire. I was at your wedding. Last year. I gave a toast. You cried." She shook her head. "That wasn't Tom. That was someone else. Someone wearing Tom." I sat down. My legs felt wrong. "Claire. You're scaring me." She grabbed my phone. Opened my photos. Scrolled to her wedding. "That's not Tom," she said, pointing at the groom. It was Tom. Same face. Same smile. Same suit. But she was right about something. His eyes were wrong. In every photo. Too dark. Too still. Like a photograph of a photograph. I looked at Claire. "Who did you marry?" She started crying again. "I don't know. I don't remember. I just remember waking up one day and he was there. Making coffee. Calling me honey. And I thought... I thought I was going crazy. Because I knew Tom was dead. But he looked like Tom. He sounded like Tom." She grabbed my arm. "So I pretended. For a year. I pretended he was Tom. I pretended everything was fine. But last night, I woke up. And he was standing at the foot of the bed. Facing the wall. Not moving." "What did he say?" "He didn't say anything. He just stood there. For hours. I watched him. And then I realized." "What?" "He wasn't breathing."

That being said, if you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I’m not interested or open to your feedback.

There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their lives but who will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment on those who dare greatly.

May this month hold you softly, like rain that knows when to fall and when to stay, may your heavy days learn how to breathe again, and may even your quietest nights feel a little less lonely.

I just chopped my first L in Q2, a win next?

Problem-solving in product management ≠ jumping to solutions. Slow down. Define the problem. Then solve it. What’s a mistake you’ve made from rushing to a solution?

“In Q2 when you see God favoring me, just know I have paid my dues in full” Happy new month everyone 🩵

Most people delay their progress by over-learning. The few who move fast start building early. That’s the difference.

3/ You don’t need more courses You need: → Structure → Feedback → Real-world application

2/ You don’t need permission You can: → Analyze products → Suggest improvements → Build case studies Right now.

1/ You don’t need perfect knowledge You need: → Clear thinking → Problem-solving ability → Practice

They keep preparing. Keep learning. Keep waiting. But never actually start. The truth is, you don’t become a PM by learning. You become a PM by doing.
