Most product managers are detectives with no training.
We're to solve mysteries, yet no one taught us witness interrogation.
I've learned that how you talk to customers is more important than how many you talk to.

The most impactful product managers often do LESS than their peers.
They write shorter docs. Hold fewer meetings. Create simpler processes.
They've mastered making impact look effortless.

Your product isn’t failing because you lack execution.
You're struggling because you're tackling 12 problems instead of focusing on one.
Climbers call the toughest part of a route "the crux."
