Aaron Airmet and Ash Roberts join me again, but this time to talk about career development using PM tools and mindsets. Together they host Path into Product, a podcast for college students or professionals considering a career as a product manager but don't know where to start. Both Aaron and Ash are currently working as Product Managers at Weave Communications and have previous experience working with and in learning design environments. 

Today we discuss: 

• Building your career through curiosity, experimentation, and data collection 
• Examples and stories of using product management tools for personal development
• The importance of reflection and giving yourself space to be wrong
• Using product management prioritization principles in career decisions
