Our wonderful podcast conversation with Radhika Dutt inspired by Radical Product Thinking: The New Mindset for Innovating Smarter—reminded me how essential vision is in everything we build, especially in the age of AI.

We often rush into building—more features, more prototypes, more speed. The classic builder mindset. But without direction, this speed creates what Radhika Dutt calls product diseases: pivotitis, constant firefighting, and products that evolve by accident rather than design.

Because AI can amplify both brilliance and chaos.

With strong vision + disciplined product thinking, it becomes a force multiplier.

Without it, it becomes a very fast way to lose our way.

A few takeaways we touched on:

• Vision vs. product: your product is temporary; your vision is the north star.
• Balancing long-term ambition with short-term survival—while never losing gravitas.
• Healing the typical product diseases through clarity, alignment, and disciplined trade-offs.
• Creator mindset: using AI not just to build faster, but to create better—bolder ideas, cleaner prototypes, smarter decisions.
• Leading virtual product teams so they stay engaged, creative, and connected to purpose.
• Mental models that help us move from accidental innovation → intentional innovation.

AI gives us unbelievable speed. Vision gives that speed meaning.

How do you keep your product vision alive while everything around you accelerates?
