Most teams start their experimentation journey with tools-not people or process. Andy Boyd and I dig into what happens when you flip that order: how to build the systems, incentives, and mindset that make experimentation a habit, not a project.

Ever notice it’s way cheaper to buy an AC than to fix one? 😲

Tech makes stuff cheap (thanks, Jevons 📉), but labor still isn't getting automated (hello, Baumol 💰).

The weirder our tech gets, the pricier human work becomes. 🤖➡️👷‍♂️🔥

Want more resources from your execs? 🤝🔑

Don’t just “manage up.”
Match their intensity.
Make their top goals your goals.

Resources flow to people leaders trust - and who help them win.📈🚀

Be that person. Your future self will thank you. 🙏🧠

Everyone blames busted deadlines on “engineering.” 😑
But 9/10 it’s messy people stuff: unclear decisions, buried objections, silent tension. 🔄🧩

Tech solves fast. Teams align slow.

Want things to finally launch? Less JIRA tweaking - more real talk up front. ⚡🤝

Noticed this? When talking big tech jumps (internet, now AI), the loudest crew always says:
💢 “Cool, but we’re not changing.”

👋 That’s your disruptor bogey. Bet smart = surf early or get bashed up later.

🚀 Lean in before your users bolt for something better.

Stop patching timezone woes with “just more meetings.” 🛑

Sharpest remote PM teams crush it by rotating product rituals and making trigger-clear, async info jumps the non-negotiable squad norm. 🪄🌏

Better flow ➡️ Less panic ➡️ Less Friction

Just read @a16z’s convo w/ Steven Sinofsky on legitimacy in tech - brilliant history lesson.

1️⃣ Legitimacy’s always social, not technical.
2️⃣ Power users drive adoption (then & now).
3️⃣ Once you’re legit, you’re selling a future, not a feature.

🐥 Got a stuck project?

Grab a rubber duck. Seriously.

Explaining your mess out loud (even to a duck) forces clarity.

You'll spot dumb assumptions FAST. 🧠

Talk it out. Save the project. 🚀

Sometimes, you just need a good listener (even plastic).

If your team feels out of sync, don’t just blame “communication.”
⚠️ 9 times out of 10, it’s a misaligned incentive problem.
People do what gets rewarded.
Align rewards 🏆 = align the team 🤝
Stop tweaking process.
Start fixing incentives.
