The Black Mirror Test - Roisi Proven on The Product Experience [Rebroadcast]
A couple of things we’re hearing people talk about a lot this week are how they’re adjusting to working in a different way, and how they are adjusting their strategies to deal with the current situation. These are situations that are fraught with the possibility for unintended consequences – something Roisi Proven covered in her […]
Build Better Products - Laura Klein on The Product Experience
Nobody rants quite like Laura Klein. Others have tried, but we’ve yet to find anyone else with her depth of experience (spanning stints as a developer, designer, researcher and product manager), her empathy for both users and stakeholders, her experience as a teacher, and her sense of humour. She’s author of Build Better Products: a […]
Outcomes Over Outputs - Josh Seiden on The Product Experience [Rebroadcast]
One of the things we’ve learned from doing this podcast is that it’s important to schedule in time to reflect and to revisit some of the lessons you’ve learned along the way. It’s been a recurring theme, actually – something that’s been mentioned by Barry O’Reilly, Rian van der Merwe, and John Cutler – and […]
Building Better Product People - Sebastian Sabouné on The Product Experience
The best product people are the ones that are insatiably curious, who want to learn more, who want to get better at all aspects of the job. In many businesses this can be hard – there’s not always an established culture, or people around who have done the job before and can help upskill the […]

How To Be A Great Manager - Claire Lew on The Product Experience
We’ve all had that one manager that we’ll do anything to avoid for the rest of our careers – but have you ever stopped to think if you’re that person for someone else? That’s the question that prompted Claire Lew to start Know Your Team and here she joins us on the podcast to give […]
Hacking The Hiring Process - Alex Yang & Max Bevan on The Product Experience
If you’ve ever had to fill a role in your team, then you already know how broken most hiring processes are. It’s even harder if you’re competing for top talent but are only able to pay at NGO/charity scales. That’s the situation that Simprints found itself in when they decided to treat their hiring process […]
Cracking The Data Code - Mike Bugembe on The Product Experience
W. Edwards Deming wrote, “In God we trust, all others must bring data.” Product people hold on to this as a mantra – how else can we defend ourselves from random requests? – but we’re not always taught how best to use data. In this week’s episode, Lens.ai founder Mike Bugembe joins us on the […]
