14. Transition into Product Management from a Non-Technical Career

This podcast is for non-technical founders and established small-to-mid-size business owners who want to launch an app or add a tech-enabled offering—without learning to code.

Each episode breaks down product strategy, scoping, hiring and managing developers, and applied AI for real business outcomes (not VC theatre). Expect step-by-step playbooks, case studies, and jargon-free conversations that help you turn ideas into revenue-generating digital products.

Hosted by Sophia, an entrepreneur and educator whose programs have been featured in Harvard Business Review and delivered at Oxford University, London Business School, and Chicago Booth. Her work is trusted by the government of Bahrain, Constellation Brands, and the Royal Bank of Canada, and her flagship approach—Tech for Non-Technical Founders—has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives move from concept to scalable product.

You'll learn how to:

-Validate demand and shape a winning product brief
-Budget, timeline, and de-risk builds you'll actually ship
-Hire, brief, and manage developers and vendors with confidence
-Use AI to speed research, prototyping, and growth
-Launch, iterate, and measure ROI—without the buzzwords

FOLLOW if you want clear, actionable guidance to build real tech value—minus the code and the hype.
