Focus on work that actually matters | Fareed Mosavat (Ex-Slack)

Fareed Mosavat is a growth veteran who has worked at Reforge,
Slack, Instacart, Pixar, and other top companies. We had some
real talk about how to: 1. Cross the chasm from product manager
to product leader 2. Not confuse the work behind the work with
the actual work 3. Look beyond traditional job titles to chart
your own career path Fareed is one of my favorite product leaders
and I think you’ll love our conversation. Brought to you by:
