<p><em>We&#8217;re taking a short break from releasing new episodes over the holidays. We&#8217;ll be back with fresh interviews in early January. But don&#8217;t despair! In the meantime, we&#8217;re re-running two episodes that fit the theme of the season: reflection and planning for 2020.</em></p>
<h3>Lily&#8217;s Pick</h3>
<p>I think, by now, we all know that product management is hard. And while we spend a lot of time focusing on the things that we&#8217;re building and obsessing over our users, it becomes easy to neglect ourselves. That&#8217;s one of the reasons I&#8217;ve chosen <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/podcast-moving-up-the-career-ladder-with-thor-mitchell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our chat with Thor Mitchell (ex-Google and ex-CPO at Crowdcube)</a> as one of my favourite episodes of the year. I&#8217;m a big believer in taking time to consider personal development &#8211; one of the main reasons I started ProductTank in Bristol in 2016.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also one of my favourite podcast episodes because I LOVE practical advice. And Thor also gave us a great talk, full of practical advice, when he visited ProductTank Bristol, which covered how to move up the product career ladder and the difference in product roles in a big corporation vs a startup.</p>
<p>Hopefully, you&#8217;ll find this episode just as insightful and useful as I do as you ponder where you&#8217;ve come from and where you want to go.</p>
<p>Happy listening!</p>
