About the Episode:
We’ve talked before about design sprints with John Zeratsky, who co-created a way to solve big problems at Google in just 5 days, resulting in the popular 5-day design sprint. What if you don’t have 5 days, but 2 hours? It turns out you can still solve a lot of complex problems in a 2 hour design sprint if you know how. Think about that — being able to confidently solve complex problems with a team in only 2 hours instead of days.

She is the bestselling author of Solving Problems in 2 Hours: How to Brainstorm and Create Solutions with Two Hour Design Sprints, whose first edition became an instant hit among tech teams worldwide.

Good content
I find the interviews and content good, only challenge is the unrelated ads which don’t make sense!
Awesome
Longest running weekly Pm podcast out there. Super high quality content
Informative for Product People
Covers the gamut of issues relevant to people managing products from all perspectives and industries. Might be partial to software products, but attempts to be inclusive across all industries and domains. Like a weekly lesson. Some are more philosophical and strategic than others.
