In B2B Product Management, building strong customer relationships is critical.

It's a long term investment that pays off IMMENSELY. I wrote a version of this article almost 15 years ago.

I've updated it and added tips for PMs on building those relationships.

Note to self: incorporate the phrase “…and Bob’s your uncle.” into as much business parlance as possible.

Like something out of a fantasy epic.
It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶

People don’t exclaim “POPPYCOCK!” and storm off nearly enough anymore.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing here on Bluesky, but I am absolutely certain that this is where my panicked #productmanagement rants will go when it’s 10pm and I need to say something out loud but refuse to open Slack or text a buddy out of principle.

I ate a significant amount of pasta tonight and had a board meeting, during which I slammed a cola after 8pm to perk up.

This is nonsense because stimulants don’t do that to my brain. So now I just feel like garbage and am kinda tired.

Good tech support can be the difference between a winning and losing product.
Me: Hello, tech support? There's mayonaisse leaking out of my computer again
Tech support: Stop pouring mayonaisse into your computer
Me: Yes, that makes sense

I'm sorry, what?
A #blizzard warning is in effect for the Gulf Coast in parts of Texas and Louisiana. This is a first. Snow accumulations up to 10 cm with wind gusts to 65 km/h are forecast through noon local time.

Cold enough in Minneapolis that many districts cancelled school today. But I’m really psyched for the impending heatwave!

Hello, world!

Excited to be here. Looking to connect with a new (or even the same old) circle. I’ve mourned since the fall of Twitter but am optimistic after a few days of lurking here.
