We’re thrilled to bring you more exclusive insights from Productized 2024, our third major event of the year! This series continues our engaging TalkInTen format, where we explore concise, high-impact conversations with industry leaders pushing the boundaries of product management and business agility. Each episode delivers fresh perspectives, practical strategies, and real-world examples designed to help teams and organisations adapt, grow, and succeed in today’s fast-paced environment.

In this episode, we’re joined by Rich Mironov, a renowned product management expert and author of The Art of Product Management. Rich takes us on a thoughtful journey into the often-underappreciated emotional side of product management. He discusses how product leaders can rediscover joy in their roles, tackle the challenges of imposter syndrome, and find purpose in supporting their teams and products. Rich’s insights are a must-hear for anyone looking to balance the emotional demands of product leadership with the fulfilment that comes from creating impactful, user-centred products.

Key Takeaways from Rich's Talk:

Understanding the emotional rollercoaster of product management and why it’s important to embrace it.
Strategies for finding joy and satisfaction in your work, even when the road gets tough.
How to support your team and products with empathy, while leaving ego at the door.

Here is the synopsis of Rich's Talk:
Product management is hard. Almost no one else in our organization understands how we add value. Most of us suffer from imposter syndrome. And we spent lots of energy arguing with each other about exactly what should – and should not – be part of our jobs. So it’s important to remember *WHY* we do what we do – and to find some joy in it. We love our products, are passionate about our end users, and are deeply empathetic as well as analytical.
