The journey continues…

It's been nine months since launching the Product Protégé Guide: The Art of Product Management for ECommerce and Beyond, and the feedback has been amazing.

I envisioned it being a guide that you keep on your desk to help you through your day-to-day as a product manager, and that is exactly the type of relationship product managers who have purchased it are having.

The Product Protégé Guide was my way of putting all my knowledge in written format to ensure that the next generation of product managers, whether new or already in the career, had a way to level up their approaches, utilize the E3 Framework to build a mindset, and work on the discipline needed to build a strong product sense.

While reading a book is the primary way of learning for some, I kept getting requests to make an audio version of the book.

Product manager style books that are about tactical approaches are tough to make audio-based, so instead I decided to do one better.

I'm excited to announce that the Product Protégé Online Course on Product Management is now live and available!
