When building a product, the most important thing is to quickly find out if people will actually like what you are building! In my latest chat with Den Delimarsky, we touch upon the various angles that we can do something like this. You can watch our full conversation below:
Beyond YouTube, this content is also available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and more where you can watch and/or listen at your leisure.
Den is someone who I've known for many years. We met in person at Microsoft when we were both working there over 10 years ago, and I've been following him and his great content ever since then.
It's hard to summarize Den. He is a Product Manager. Engineer. Reverse engineer-er of things. And a whole lot more. While my goal was to go deeper into his really fascinating projects that help you better understand your game stats in the popular Halo games, we instead spoke about how to build great products, why some products fail, and why some products succeed, the role of engineering and product management in the world of AI, and a whole lot more.
Some of my highlights from our chat:

Hopefully this helped you to better understand what product strategy is by looking at it through the lens of building great products. You can interact with this article on Twitter / X, LinkedIn, or TikTok if you want to share it with your networks there.
Just a final word before we wrap up. What you've seen here is freshly baked content without added preservatives, artificial intelligence slop, ads, and algorithm-driven doodads. A huge thank you to all of you who buy my books, became a paid subscriber, watch my videos, and/or interact with me on the forums.
