Episode notes

Most corporate leaders say they want innovation. What they actually reward is the opposite. And then one day - usually the moment someone gets promoted to the top - the rules change. Suddenly you need vision, ideas, creativity. Nobody told you that was coming. Nobody taught you how. Founders know this feeling from day one. The pressure to create something new, with limited resources, no roadmap, and no safety net. The skill that gets both of these people through that moment has a name. It's called product thinking. And if you haven't heard of it - you're almost certainly already doing it. You just don't know it yet.
