Product Management is Still All About Telling Stories with Josh Elman

https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/dan-olsen/joshIn the world of AI, it feels like everything is changing about product management: token maxxing, AI prototyping, and completely changing workflows. But we don’t talk enough about what isn’t changing: understanding your customers, interpreting your data, telling stories about what you want to build, and telling stories to your customers about what you are building.
Josh Elman gave a great talk at Lean Product Meetup 10 years ago about your role as a product manager to help your team ship the right product to your users. In this talk he will review what has changed in this world of AI but also remind us about the importance of what hasn’t - telling stories.
Josh brings deep experience building and investing in consumer products at the early stages (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Musical.ly/Tiktok, Robinhood) and most recently helping build and launch Siri AI and Apple Intelligence at Apple. And he is now back on the VC side as a partner at a16z believing investing in the next wave of consumer products.
We'll meet IN-PERSON at Intuit's HQ in Mountain View and also stream via Zoom for remote attendees, so there are separate tickets for each. I'll send the Zoom link the morning of the event to everyone registered for a Zoom ticket on TicketLeap.
If you join in person, there will be dinner and networking before the talk and more networking after the talk.
BONUS: Our sponsors Deloitte and Vapi are raffling off 40+ free ebook copies of Kindra Hall's ebook Stories That Stick: How Storytelling Can Captivate Customers, Influence Audiences, and Transform Your Business! You can enter the raffle as part of online registration.
