In this episode of The Product Pivot, we sit down with Brody Clemmer, Lead Product Manager at Little Otter, to discuss the future of product management and how the role is evolving.
We cover:
• How Brody landed in product without a degree
• The biggest misconceptions about product management
• Why living in the problem space is the key to success
• The real difference between PMs at startups vs. large enterprises
• If product management will still exist in 10 years and what might replace it
Oh, and we also settle one of the most controversial food debates of all time: Is a hot dog a sandwich? 🌭😂
