Shownotes Transcript

Henry Latham is a good friend of the podcast, and we talked with him in the past on a few occasions (episode 25 - Tools for Aspiring Product Managers, episode 47 - No Code Platforms - Softr, and episode 65 New book: Product Strategy is Simple). We are happy to have Henry on the show again, introducing his new venture and program Break Free.In recent year, Henry have identified a trend in the Product Management world, where many product people shows dissatisfaction with their career, moving from one company to the next, trying to find the best culture to work at and create impact in the world, only to be discouraged by organizational culture that didn’t empower them and the rest of the team to build meaningfully. This is when he decided to pivot his focus into helping the product management community to create their own destiny, by helping aspiring self-employed individuals, who mainly come from the product management world (but not limited to them), to build their own micro-business from 0 to 1st sale in 48 hours.In the episode, we talked with Henry about his pivot, and what the program, Break Free, is all about:

  • Why did he make the shift/pivot from ProdMBA to build it
  • The challenges of product managers out there
  • Reasons, or more like excuses, that product people use to not starting a new business on the side
  • The MVP that he started Break Free with
  • Learnings from starting business to Product Management and vice versa
  • Who is Break Free for? 
  • The 5 steps of the Break Free Sprint 
  • The importance of product managers selling their own products
  • Starting small as a service that is not scalable rather than thinking big right up front and failing
  • And much more!
