Exploring an idea around the 3rd root cause of failures I've seen in working in a more agile way, incentives. Many times, if the behavior and reasons don't make sense to you, take a look at how the person is being rewarded, or the lack of rewards, and see if you can understand it better. This can also be the secret key to changing how people work, change their incentives. If you have seen examples of this working against you, or altering them to work for you send it in!

A reminder that *the* most important word for a Product Owner, is "No." There are so many different ways, places, and people that need to be told no that can really be difficult.

How often do Product Owners find themselves telling stories? Stories about our customers, teams, and problems faced by both. In this episode, I wanted to share some things I've been reading that help to understand how to listen, gather, and tell better stories. If you are interested in seeing how the best storytellers refine their craft and how PO's can learn from them, listen up.

Sometimes you find a way to hack a problem so well, that it affects most other things you do as well. In this episode, I share a hack I tried out recently and changed my mindset about a lot of things, work-related and beyond. If you are struggling with planning, thinking, or executing something, try using a budget for it and see what happens.

What are some of the habits that product people have? After reading two books on habits recently, that thought kept coming up. This episode goes into the idea of Product Habits, those things that we do with our teams, customers, company, products, and ourselves. Andrew Stokzko joins the show to discuss his ideas and experience. Got a good or bad habit you want to share with us?
