The Product Experience

<p>[powerpress]</p>
<p><em>We&#8217;re taking a short break from releasing new episodes for the month of August. We&#8217;ll be back with new interviews in September. But don&#8217;t despair! We&#8217;ve asked a few friends to pick some of their favorite episodes to re-broadcast in the meantime. This week&#8217;s pick comes from our co-host, Lily Smith.</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. <span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #3f3f3f; cursor: text; font-family: 'Merriweather',serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">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. </span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #3f3f3f; cursor: text; font-family: 'Merriweather',serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">It&#8217;s also one of my favourite podcast episodes because I LOVE practical advice. And </span>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>
