The Simplifier
Moving from Feature-Dumping to Value Engineering If you’ve spent any time in Product Management, you know the “Feature Trap.” It’s that moment in a sales pitch where the presenter lists 50 things the product can do, hoping one of them sticks. In my experience—whether dealing with the heavy machinery of Auto Ancillaries or the complex…

The Death of the Sales-Script. (The Conflict)
Why the “Smooth Talker” Era is Ending in the Age of AI In my 12 years navigating the sales & product ownership, from heavy industrial Oil & Gas to precision IT Hardware, I’ve sat on both sides of the table. I’ve delivered the pitches, and I’ve scrutinized the quotes. If there is one thing I’ve…

Building a Human Checkpoint — Recalibrating Trust.
Here is the framework for a “Human Veto” process: 1. The “Blind Spot” Audit (Contextual Validation) AI is excellent at processing the data it has, but it is “blind” to everything else. 2. Cross-Verification via Non-Digital Sources (The Reality Check) We have a habit of checking digital data with more digital data, which can create…

The Personal Cost of ‘Easy’
The Skill You Lose When AI Takes Over: The Atrophy of Professional Intuition 1. The Lost Art of Intuition The core conflict of my interview failure—and the failure of the AI analysis—was the absence of Intuition. Definition: Professional Intuition isn’t magic; it’s the instant, gut-feeling decision informed by years of pattern recognition, submerged data points,…

The AI Interview Score: Why I Trusted a Bot and Still Failed. I recently interviewed for a challenging Product Marketing role. It was a high-stakes meeting, and afterward, seeking objective reassurance, I did what any modern professional does: I fed the questions, and a summary of my answers, into an AI analysis tool. The tool…

Today, both the physical mastery of the Guild (Hand) and the structured system of the MBA (Head) are necessary, but they are no longer sufficient. We have entered the Age of the Network, where the power lies in distribution, narrative, and the credibility of the messenger. The true learning model of the 21st-century for Business…

The Age of the Head (Systems & Scalability)
If the Guilds taught us mastery, the Industrial Revolution taught us scalability. The business empire moved from the hands of the artisan into the mind of the manager. This was the Age of the Head, defined by the rise of the large, formal corporation and the creation of business school. The establishment of the MBA…

The Old MBA is Dead: How Do You Truly Learn to Build an Business Empire Today?
The Paradox of the Modern Time:- We live in the age of infinite knowledge. You can get a free Yale course, a paid MasterClass, a $200k MBA, and the entire business history of Amazon on a single phone screen. Yet, aspiring business leaders—the people trying to forge the next great brand—have never felt more paralyzed.…

From MVP to ‘MAVP’
Viability is No Longer Enough We are taught to build the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). But in the era of Artificial Intelligence, a technically viable product that is discriminatory, unexplainable, or dangerous is simply a liability. The new standard for launch isn’t Viability; it’s Acceptability. I propose that every Product Manager launching an AI-powered solution…

Who Owns the Bias in Your AI Product?
Ethics is the New Code Quality When an algorithm designed to approve loan applications discriminates against a specific zip code, the technical answer is “bad data.” The product answer is “unmanaged risk.” In the age of AI, ethics is no longer a philosophical debate; it is a P0 product bug. It is the single fastest…
