"We'll call it AI and people will gladly pay $700 for it!" - Humane's founders, probably. The Humane AI Pin is a lesson in... well, it's a lesson in a *lot* of things. Forget about the fact that its charger could "pose a fire safety risk" because that's just the icing on the cake. But perhaps the most important lesson is that products and services need to deliver value. They need to solve a problem, make lives easier, be entertaining... *something*. This product is, despite some of the interesting engineering, worse than smartphones in just about every way possible. There's going to be a lot of worthless "AI" stuff over the next couple of years. But as you navigate the products and services that utilize AI (or consider building something yourself), ask yourself, "What problem is this solving?" or "How does this make life easier?" Even HP doesn't want to buy this company and they bought Palm for $1.2 billion. https://lnkd.in/gDgznupY

The role of prioritization is very different depending on the situation in a company. It ranges from rigor optics when a company is struggling ... all the way to strategic prioritization and capital efficiency when things are going well.

Hi, Trust & Safety network! I’m excited to share a side project I’m working on a Global Job Board for Trust and Safety professionals. Join me! Why am I doing this? During my last period of unemployment, I had a tough time finding new job roles. I had to navigate multiple websites, job aggregators, and job boards. I wasted a lot of time filtering and finding the right opportunities. Often, I encountered expired or filled jobs. Jobs advertised as “remote” were often actually hybrid or location-specific. There is no clear categorisation of our roles, and even the naming differs between organisations, due to the novel nature of our profiles. As a result, I decided to turn this frustration into something potentially useful for our community of professionals. I want to offer a place where you can easily find fresh opportunities that are a good fit for you. Sign up at trustandsafetyjobs.com and follow the page to stay informed about the launch. What do you think? Please share your feedback about this idea (you can DM me, but let’s aim to keep a public conversation going!). This will give me an idea of how many of us have faced similar challenges. Help me reach more people by sharing this post or commenting on it. Your support is massively appreciated! https://lnkd.in/dJRGknRU

"What is product counsel?" 🤔 This is a question I get frequently from attorneys and non-attorney's alike. Product counsel acts as a forward-deployed lawyer amongst the product, design, and engineering teams; their job is to deeply understand the product goals and to surface legal considerations early on in a product's lifecycle. The concept of "product counsel" was first pioneered at Google, 20 years ago by Nicole Wong and Alexander Macgillivray with the following thesis: "how do we get legal involved at the beginning rather than the end of the product process?" They document the journey in this fantastic blog post: https://bit.ly/4bNUMPN #productcounsel #inhousecounsel #techlawyer #lawyered

One of the potential benefits of opening up competition for payments in both the Android and iOS ecosystems will be forced innovation on the incumbents. Google is already doing some great stuff with changes to the Play Store that allow for custom listings based on keywords (every app should use this) and some additional payment options. I’m super curious to see how apps integrate installment payments for 1 year subscriptions. https://lnkd.in/gE9x5hJZ

On the surface, paid events may seem like a simple feature, but they unlock immense opportunities for new member growth in communities 📈 One of the most exciting aspects of building new products is getting them into the hands of customers as fast as possible to start gathering feedback on what to build next. When we started developing paid events, our primary use case was to enable selling paid events to existing members. After rolling out early access, our communities flooded us with feedback, expressing their desire to use paid events for new member outreach. We spent a few weeks tweaking the flow, ultimately giving communities a new vector for member growth that was previously unavailable. Now, communities can use their events to give non-members a taste of the rich and vibrant community behind the paywall curtain. Once new members are in the door, communities can quickly upsell them into full memberships (it's super frictionless since you already have their information and they've begun to trust the community's brand). In just the last few weeks of early access, we've heard from several communities that they plan to consolidate to Circle's paid events from huge event management platforms 🤯. This is a major simplification for Circle-powered communities. Here's to the future of the all-in-one community stack 🥂

If decision fatigue and stress-related burnout were workplace injuries, you'd see legal ads outside every startup (and I might have retired rich by now). Here are a couple of pointers that have worked for me (a jaded cynic and pessimist) in keeping my head on straight.

Nicholas Daniel’s path to become the CPO of Etsy was far from linear. In our conversation, he shares the valuable lessons of why practicing humility is not just important when building new products, but also when building your career. “[it’s] a way for me to take all of what I've learned working on a bigger portfolio, focus all of that on a smaller footprint of the product to make it even better than it was before. I don't get too hung up on titles or the box that needs to be ticked to get to the next level. We're here to build wonderful products”. Nick’s ability to reframe setbacks and “de-center” himself from the equation enabled him to forge ahead and focus on breaking new ground at Etsy with great innovation. On this week’s episode of my podcast Building One, Nick shares many great insights into his career and how they build at Etsy, including:  • How to establish a new & differentiated marketplace • The unique challenges & opportunities that come with competing with an e-commerce giant like Amazon • The limits of using single performance metrics • When to compete with (and when to ignore) industry norms • And what does “special takes time” mean… Listen and follow for more insights: 🎧 Apple: https://lnkd.in/eTVqg285 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e-dkkf5H

Happy World Enablement Day to all of my fellow enablers! 🌍 Today, I delved into some “yard technical debt” - weed removal, fir tree debris, leaf blowing, and more. It brought back memories of cleaning out large content repositories. Here are some key takeaways: - Understand what content is useful and being used through data, empathy mapping, and stakeholder interviews. - Align content priorities with the mission of your customer (leadership and the GTM team you support). - Develop a plan to either resurrect or retire content. - Ensure that your changes bring value to your customer. Let's continue enabling success through effective content management! 🌟 #WorldEnablementDay #ContentManagement #GTM
