Some pivots don’t start with a master plan, they start with saying yes and figuring it out along the way.

In this episode, Eduardo (Eddie) Rosenfeld, VP of Applied AI at Lavender 💜🔮, shares how studying philosophy and writing comedy scripts in L.A. somehow led to product ops at one of the fastest-moving AI startups in sales tech.

We talk about:

→ Why curiosity and grit matter more than credentials

→ The art of “doing whatever it takes” in scrappy startup roles

→ How to handle feedback without losing your fire

→ Knowing when to use bandaids vs. surgery in product decisions

→ Building product through empathy, not ego

Eddie’s story is a love letter to the generalists — the ones who fill gaps no one asked them to, learn tools overnight, and somehow turn chaos into progress.

Listen in for a reminder that product isn’t about titles or frameworks, it’s about curiosity, feedback, and the nerve to keep building when things get messy.
