Fireside Product Management
<p>I met Albino Sanchez in the bleachers at a high school JV football game. While our sons battled it out on the field for Palo Alto High School, we found ourselves deep in conversation about something far removed from touchdowns and tackles: why some product leaders thrive while others crash and burn in seemingly similar companies.</p><p>Albino doesn’t fit the typical Silicon Valley mold. Born and raised in Mexico City, he spent his early career as a strategy consultant helping large companies implement frameworks like Balanced Scorecard and OKRs. But unlike most consultants who move on to...

<p>TLDR: It was Claude :-)When I set out to compare ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and ChatPRD for writing Product Requirement Documents, I figured they’d all be roughly equivalent. Maybe some subtle variations in tone or structure, but nothing earth-shattering. They’re all built on similar transformer architectures, trained on massive datasets, and marketed as capable of handling complex business writing.</p><p>What I discovered over 45 minutes of hands-on testing revealed not just which tools are better for PRD creation, but why they’re better, and more importantly, how you should actually be using AI to accelerate your p...

Artificial intelligence is rewriting...

<p>The Interview That Sparked This Essay</p><p>Joe Corkery and I worked together at Google years ago, and he has since gone on to build a venture-backed company tackling a real and systemic problem in healthcare communication. </p><p>This essay is my attempt to synthesize that conversation. It is written for early and mid career PMs in Silicon Valley who want to get sharper at product judgment, market discovery, customer validation, and knowing the difference between encouragement and signal. If you feel like you have ever shipped something, presented it to customers, and then heard polite nodding...

FAQs
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
