TEI 302: From product manager to founder

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode:  When I’m
working with a group of product managers to help them move towards
product mastery, I always ask them to introduce themselves by
sharing what they love about product management. Among the numerous
answers, in the last year the most frequent response is to create
value for customers. Many product managers also aspire to create
their own group to accomplish this, whether it is as an
intrapreneur inside an organization or as an entrepreneur founding
their own company. Product managers make the best founders. To
explore what being a founder involves, I had a discussion with Ryan
Frederick. He is a product manager and founder and now helps
software companies build great products. He has put his lifetime of
experience into a book titled The Founder’s Manual, and we
discuss the key strategies.
