    Product > Marketing Therapy | Jennifer Montague (Onomondo, Dixa)

    #30: Ever wondered what it's like to be in the midst of clashing marketing, sales and product departments? Jennifer Montague, with her wealth of experience across these fields, joins me to discuss the unsightly silos that can form and how it's like a game of hot potato nobody wants to play. We dive deep into the heart of these divisions and brainstorm strategies to dismantle these barriers to refocus on what really matters – the customer. From developing an acquisition workforce that truly represents each department to understanding the nuances of customer journeys, our conversation is a treasure trove of insights. As our conversation progresses, we shift gears to discuss fostering growth and collaboration. We discover together the power of an intriguing term - NetNew MRR, and how it can be harnessed to attract customers by creating a tiering system. Jennifer shares her perspective on how product teams can gauge the impact of their work on the company's overall success. We also touch upon the art of communicating missed opportunities to those in power. As we near the end, we address the elephant in the room – the fear of trying and failing. We share our experiences and lessons from mistakes we've made, emphasizing on the importance of sharing these stories with others. We talk about the global phenomenon - Fuckup Nights, as a platform to admit mistakes and grow from them. As we wrap up our enlightening conversation, Jennifer and I exchange our favorite books and meals, and I throw in a recommendation for a great spot to get Korean food in Copenhagen. Our conversation is a journey of exploration and growth, and we invite you to join us in breaking down the silos that exist in any organization.

    #27: In this episode, Axel chats with fellow product coaches Martin Christensen and Marcus Castenfors, co-authors of Holistic Product Discovery, a book that provides a structured framework for product discovery.

You might not understand it at first, but eventually, you'll become a karate master. Or, in this case, a product management master. Just don't wax on, wax off too hard.
