Lessons In Product Management

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

Listen Later

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
