TEI 255: The good & bad of product management as an entrepreneur vs intrapreneur

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:  Our guest
for this episode is Montie Roland. Montie used my online training
course to prepare for, and pass, the New Product Development
Professional exam, earning him the NPDP certification from PDMA,
which is the oldest and most established professional group for
product managers. After passing, he contacted me to discuss
providing training to product managers in his company. This is a
topic I always enjoy because I love helping organizations improve
their product management capability and helping product managers
further their skills and how they work with each other and the
product team. As I talked with Montie, I also learned about his
background, became fascinated by his experiences, and knew he had
to join us here to share his stories and knowledge. Montie has
pursued an entrepreneur path, building his own company, and an
intrapreneur path working in an established company. He is a
mechanical engineer with a ton of design experience. We talked
about his experiences, including the pros and cons of working for
yourself vs working for an organization.
