What is product management? How do you become a product manager? The Path into Product podcast is for college students or professionals considering a career as a product manager but don't know where to start. We interview actual professionals from a variety of backgrounds about their path into product. Where did they start? How did they land their first product role? Why (or why not) choose product management as a career? You'll hear answers to these questions and more. And you'll see that anyone from any background can develop the mindset and skillset needed to be a product manager.

026: 20+ Years of Non-Linear Experience | Business Analyst to Head of Product | Kyle Jacobsen
Today’s guest was a stunned business analyst who, when he was invited to join a new product management group at a company, did NOT ask: what’s product management? Nope, his first question was a lot more practical than that.
Today’s guest is my friend and mentor, Kyle Jacobsen. Kyle has over 20 years experience in product management, from entry-level all the way up to head of product.
We cover a wide range of topics: what product management was like 20 years ago (spoiler: a LOT different than now), the non-linear path of success, how “product manager” is actually a misnomer , and more
