Product Managers! When coming up with ideas, don't allow your brain to get blocked by concerns of what is/isn't possible or by constraints/limitations. That's not your job. Assume that everything IS possible, sit back & go nuts ideating. Try it, it's really liberating. #prodmgmt.

All Product Managers will be AI PMs in the future. I define myself as an โAI Product Managerโ. But I shouldnโt. All PMs should (or will!) leverage AI in some capacity, when they build smart products. You may be already doing so without knowing it. #prodmgmt #productmanagement.

When it comes to getting a job in tech, does your undergrad matter? No, not really. What matters is the skillset you'll develop, what you'll produce (as part of the curriculum or not) that will turn into a portfolio & the passion you have put into it, as it'll make you shine โจ.
