People Driven Products

About People Driven Products

As a PM, your job is to make products and features your users love. But we all know that’s easier said than done. That’s why we made People Driven Products. You’ll learn how to make products people love and get insights from the PM leaders behind some of the fastest growing and most successful tech companies in the world. The show is hosted by Ryan Glasgow, who has over a decade of experience managing products at companies like Weebly and Vurb (acquired by Snapchat) and is now the Founder and CEO of Sprig (formerly UserLeap). In each episode, he’ll be talking with PM leaders at companies that are masters of gaining customer insights, and making customer-centric products. You’ll learn from some of the best PMs in the world and get practical advice on how to create a customer-centric product team, build a customer-focused culture (and get your company on board), get user feedback quickly, make decisions from those insights, craft a compelling story from the data you gather, help your company make the right product decisions, and most importantly, make products people love. We can’t wait to share these insights with you, and truly hope that each one helps you and your company, create people-driven products.
