Lessons In Product Management

Mindset Upgrades To Spark New Opportunities with Rich Sanchez - PM at InStride

Listen Later

On today's episode, I sat down with Rich Sanchez, Product Manager at InStride. 

Rich has a background in IT but soon found himself transitioning into Product Management for companies such as Johnson and Johnson, Disney, and now InStride. 

This episode is all about how to find new opportunities as a PM by up-leveling how you think

On this episode we discussed:

  • How Rich fell in love with Product while at Johnson and Johnson
  • It was after Johnson and Johnson that Rich found out how to stand out from others to get  where you want to go in your career
  • How to up-level quickly as a PM when you're just starting out
  • Why we need to take a step back and think differently to be an effective PM
  • How to build deep, lasting relationships by leveraging sources of value you can offer
  • The origins of the book, Think and Grow Rich. I thought this was a really cool history lesson
  • The ancillary aspects of what makes a great product manager, outside of the traditional thinking
  • How your thoughts either enable success or block it
  • Why improving your personal live will improve your professional life as a PM
  • Why PMs more than anyone else should have a roadmap for their lives and the benefits of doing it
  • Rich shares his 8 "Fs" which are pure gold, and I totally stole them
