Focus on work that actually matters | Fareed Mosavat (Ex-Slack)
Fareed Mosavat is a growth veteran who has worked at Reforge, Slack, Instacart, Pixar, and other top companies.
We had some real talk about how to:
1. Cross the chasm from product manager to product leader
2. Not confuse the work behind the work with the actual work
3. Look beyond traditional job titles to chart your own career path
Fareed is one of my favorite product leaders and I think you’ll love our conversation.
