particularly those between the coasts &#8212; where they can connect, collaborate, and ultimately be inspired. \u00a0Just several months later, we made good on that by producing the first iteration of Industry, a product summit built for product professionals that took place in the revived rust belt city of Cleveland, Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>After Industry 2015, all we knew is that we were onto something and needed to offer even <em>more<\/em> to product people. \u00a0 So, yes, that meant planning for an even better Industry that will take place in Fall, 2016. \u00a0(Keep your eyes open within the next couple of weeks for exciting details here). \u00a0But we also found ourselves asking each other how we could keep the energy, learning, and sense of community going throughout the entire year.<\/p>\n<p>And then, we both realized that we shared a favorite medium that both of us use to satisfy our continued curiosity\u00a0about not just product, but other things as well: \u00a0Podcasts.<\/p>\n<p>Both Paul and I have 30 minute commutes &#8212; and we both love to multi-task. \u00a0So it&#8217;s not uncommon for either one of us to be devouring podcasts to and from work. \u00a0Some of my personal favorites include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/show\/startup\/\">Startup: \u00a0A podcast series on what it&#8217;s really like to start a business.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/show\/reply-all\/about\/\">Reply All: \u00a0A show about the internet.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rocketship.fm\/\">Rocketship: \u00a0An interview series with successful entrepreneurs focusing on strategy, growth, and so much more.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisisproductmanagement.com\/\">This is Product Management: \u00a0Interviews with those across all disciplines that fuel modern product teams.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thepitch.fm\/\">The Pitch: \u00a0Where founders pitch their startup to investors<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And while these are great, they are all really varied in terms of what their audience is and what their approach is. \u00a0For instance, Startup and Rocketship are both targeting those interested in entrepreneurial stories. \u00a0However, Startup is produced much more like a documentary and Rocketship is produced like a well-prepared interview. \u00a0Both are great. \u00a0But they accomplish different things.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing we noticed, though, is that there aren&#8217;t a whole lot of podcasts specifically for <em>product people.<\/em>\u00a0 If a product manager or VP of Product wanted to listen to a podcast to become better product professionals, they certainly could. \u00a0There are takeaways that they could get out of all sorts of different shows. \u00a0But very few are produced specifically for them. \u00a0It&#8217;s not to say there aren&#8217;t any at all. \u00a0This is Product Management is one, for instance, that does a good job producing a product-driven podcast. \u00a0But it&#8217;s one of a handful out of literally hundreds of thousands of podcasts that currently exist.<\/p>\n<p>We want to change this.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re taking an active role in exploring what a great product-driven podcast (or podcasts!) would look like. \u00a0We have some ideas on potential formats we&#8217;d like to use. \u00a0But, like any great product, we&#8217;d be silly to not engage our own audience before bringing anything to market. \u00a0So we&#8217;re looking for product managers, Directors\/VP&#8217;s of Product, and generally anybody else that considers themselves to be a &#8220;product person&#8221; who are interested in helping shape what this could become.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, our goal with all of this is to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create useful content that helps\u00a0anybody who listens feel like a smarter product person post-episode.<\/li>\n<li>Better connect product thought leaders to the greater product community.<\/li>\n<li>Inspire a creative spark that helps those listening create better products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Drop me a line at mike [at] productcollective dot com. \u00a0I&#8217;d love to ask you a few questions via email and potentially phone or Skype\/Hangouts. \u00a0And who knows,\u00a0perhaps aside from giving helpful feedback, it could end up leading to an appearance on our show!<\/p>\n<p>With all of that said, hopefully, you&#8217;ll &#8220;hear&#8221; from us soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just about one year ago, my partner Paul and I made the decision that we were going to create a special environment for product people &#8212;
