Why The Best PMs Have Side Hustles w/ Clement Kao - Product Manager @Blend and Co-Founder of PMHQ

On today's episode, I sat down with Clement Kao to discuss how the best PMs have side hustles

Here's what we discussed:

Clement shared how he accidentally fell into product management with no experience, and his steep learning curve created the empathy for what he does now in his side projects

Clement has published over 60 articles, read by over 200K PMs across the world, on PMHQ, the product manager community he helped co-found on Slack. 

There's a lot of passion behind Clement's drive to share knowledge and see other PMs and aspiring PMs benefit from his shared learnings. 

The power of communities and what the benefits are for joining and engaging in a PM community. 

Why learning from other people's experiences and sharing your own experiences with other helps to crystalize your knowledge and accelerates your growth. 

The tangible and subtle benefits of side hustles or extracirricular projects

How to choose which communities to be part of and how to benefit most from communities

Why having a side hustle, regardless of what it is, should be treated like we treat our products: iteratively
