Going full-time product management creator!

Oh, boy, I have an important and scary update: After 4 years and 132,000 followers, I've become a full-time creator! What's next?

In 2021, when I started my first-ever product management course, I didn't plan to become one of the top product management creators on the planet.

Heck, I never wanted to have my own business to begin with!

Still, I was never one to settle. Growth and grabbing opportunities were always in my product DNA.

Even so, the decision didn't come lightly. I have a 2nd baby on the way, and the comfort of a full-time salary with benefits was always a reassuring one. Not to mention that it was a mountain of inspiration for my writing.

Time went on, and I ended up not doing either of my jobs to the fullest.

It was time to make a choice.

I chose myself.

I chose to believe that I can be my own boss and do more if given the time.

Thank you Aakash Gupta and Moe Ali for cheering me and giving me opportunities to step into my new, full-time creator life with a sense of security. I also can't thank you enough, Maja Voje and Paweł Huryn, for pushing me to at least try it on my own and showing me the way forward.

And most importantly.

You.

You, who are reading this. Especially if you have read my posts for years.

You made it possible for me.

Thank you.

So, what's next?

For now, my key focus is to rest a little and brace for the bigger family, while also posting daily, doing a ton of writing, and supporting my cohort students at www.landpmjob.com (2nd cohort starting in just 2 weeks, please consider joining).

Later, once things settle in, I have a few things on my plate for 2026 and 2027:

• Getting to speak at more and more events

• Starting product management copywrite agency (would you need one? Send me a DM).

• Seriously diversifying to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (my channel is really under a ton of dust at this stage).

• Growing my newsletter

• Merch and Affiliate shop

• and, well, you tell me. How can I help your career? Business? Product idea? Send me a DM :)

To celebrate going full-time, I made sure to be more accessible. For the first time ever, my 3500 members Product Discord channel is open for anyone to join. Feel free to do this now:

Or, if you prefer, I started a brand new WhatsApp community:
