TL;DR: I write a newsletter for product managers, product leaders, and aspiring product managers. I focus on actionable and deep tips to improve your career.
The Longer Version:
After a long career in PM - rising to VP of Product at a Unicorn - I have made the shift to writing about it.
In particular, I write about product growth. That is, the art of growing via your product.
This means I also talk a lot about product-led growth (PLG), the SaaS B2B motion.
My newsletter doesn't just focus on growth though.
I also break down technology, product management, product leadership, and how to get a PM job.
It's all the things that make for a great use of your learning & development budget.
Or even personal spend.
The math is pretty great.
↳ $150 for an annual subscription
↳ $211K average PM salary in the US
↳ 0-10% average range of raises offered
If the newsletter helps you get a 0.07% better raise, it pays itself.
That's 1/142th of your raise range.
It's a pretty smart investment for every level of PM.
