Why I don't trust deals and discounts. They double the price and then give a 50% coupons. It is not really a discount. There is another word for it in the dictionary though...

It is a difficult thing to practice though. Most products start simple but then lose that simplicity as they add features. @WorkFlowy has remained simple conceptually even as it added features.

Great products are more about subtraction than about addition. Seems true in more fields than product management. @anujmagazine said the same about sketchnoting @EmmySobieski said abt investing

I interviewed @EmmySobieski for @GravitasWins Radio. She started her career as a horse trainer before going on to lead the world’s number one performing fund. She also worked for four billionaires. Here are some interesting bits from our conversation 👇

Everytime I speak with @EmmySobieski, I learn something new. She has a "cat-curiosity" 😀 I interviewed her for @GravitasWins Radio. She was generous in sharing what she learnt working with 4 billionaires & managing top performing fund. Listen here:

How to prepare and run a software demo: prompts - Massimo Curatella

What can you learn from someone who went from being a horse-trainer to managing top performing fund in the world? Quite a lot. The episode is only 45 min long. I'm sure it would be the best 45 min of the day. Enjoy my conversation with @EmmySobieski

Clients aren't attracted by success stories but by war stories. Don't tell me you achieved 200% growth in traffic for a customer. Tell me the potholes you fell into & wrong decisions you made. Don't make up war stories; but don't hide them either.
