The AI Velocity Engine for Product | Jeremy Pollock VP of Product (WP Engine) | LaunchPod

Listen Later

On today’s episode, we’re talking with Jeremy Pollock, VP of Product at WP Engine.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why speed is the new moat — Jeremy is pushing PMs to use AI, ship code, and move fast, because in the AI era, slow teams fall behind for good
  • How WP Engine is enabling product teams to use AI — through access, training, and best practices that turn weeks of work into hours
  • And, How big, aspirational product goals create momentum — giving teams the motivation to “eat their vegetables” and tackle the foundational work required for long-term success
