  • EP 162 - PM First Principles in the Age of AI Summary with Matt & Moshe

    EP 162 - PM First Principles in the Age of AI Summary with Matt & Moshe
    Sep 30 2026
    After a full series exploring what product managers should retain, and rethink, in the age of AI, Matt and Moshe sit down for an honest wrap-up. What did we learn, what changed our minds, and where do humans still matter most?

    In this special episode, we look back at the conversations on human judgment, empathy, vision, strategy, and stakeholder alignment, then connect them to our own day-to-day experiments with AI. Moshe shares what he learned while building and publishing his new mobile app, Mental Health Wallet, using tools like Kiro. Matt reflects on building an agentic orchestration product, and where AI has genuinely helped sharpen strategy and execution.

    The big takeaway?AI can dramatically accelerate product work, but speed, output, and confidence are not the same as understanding. The PM role is not disappearing. It is shifting toward stronger context-setting, better judgment, deeper customer understanding, and more intentional collaboration.

    Join Matt and Moshe as they reflect on:
    • Rebecca Douglas’s conversation on human judgment and empathy, and why product managers still need to interpret ambiguity, understand users as people, validate AI outputs, and decide what not to build
    • John Fontenot’s perspective on vision and strategy, including why AI can be a powerful thinking partner but cannot fully own long-term direction, strategic tradeoffs, market context, or business accountability
    • Joy Adamson’s insights on stakeholder alignment, and why trust, relationship-building, incentives, organizational dynamics, negotiation, and emotional intelligence remain deeply human work
    • How AI can support product work through research synthesis, organization, ideation, prototyping, requirements, competitive exploration, and strategic feedback
    • Why AI-generated advice can sometimes feel like generic validation, and how better context and sharper prompts lead to more useful strategic feedback
    • Why market context, competitive insight, and business goals still need to come from humans
    • The changing balance between AI and human involvement across different product activities:
      • Human judgment and empathy remain deeply human-led
      • Vision and strategy can be increasingly AI-assisted, but remain dependent on human context
      • Stakeholder alignment is heavily human, because trust, incentives, relationships, and politics cannot be fully automated
    • Why user interviews and real customer conversations remain more valuable than AI-generated “users” or synthetic feedback
    • How the importance of human involvement may shift by company stage, team size, and the number of stakeholders involved
    • The potential future of product work, including AI agents, agent marketplaces, new workflows, and changing expectations for PMs
    • And much more!

  • EP 161 - Stakeholder Alignment with Joy Adamson

    EP 161 - Stakeholder Alignment with Joy Adamson
    Sep 16 2026
    When AI can summarize meetings, draft updates, and even recommend priorities, what remains uniquely human about stakeholder alignment? In this episode, product coach and advisor Joy Adamson joins Matt and Moshe to explore why alignment is still one of the most essential, and most human, parts of a product manager’s work.

    As part of our First Principles for PMs in the Age of AI series, Joy shares why stakeholder alignment is much more than keeping people informed or collecting feature requests. It is the ongoing work of connecting organizational needs with real customer and user needs, creating shared understanding of priorities, navigating competing incentives, and building enough trust to make difficult tradeoffs together.

    Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Joy:
    • What stakeholder alignment really means, and why true alignment reduces the need for constant stakeholder management
    • Why the word “stakeholder” itself can create friction when people assume their request should automatically become a roadmap item
    • How PMs can set healthy boundaries, say no with clarity, and prevent feature requests from becoming unchallenged commitments
    • Why emotional intelligence, negotiation, trust, and informal relationship-building remain critical product skills
    • The difference between simply considering stakeholder input and actually aligning on priorities, tradeoffs, and resource allocation
    • How hidden motivations, incentives, politics, and organizational culture shape product decisions in ways AI cannot fully understand
    • Where AI can help: meeting summaries, follow-ups, tailored stakeholder communications, preparation, and negotiation support
    • Why AI-generated recommendations still need human oversight, accountability, and judgment, especially when trust, risk, or ambiguity are involved
    • Could AI agents eventually become stakeholders themselves? What that might mean for product teams and decision-making
    • Why junior PMs should deliberately build their human relationship and influence skills as AI takes on more operational tasks
    • And much more!

  • EP 160 - Vision & Strategy with John Fontenot

    EP 160 - Vision & Strategy with John Fontenot
    Sep 2 2026
    We’re back with a familiar voice on the podcast: John Fontenot returns to continue our *First Principles for PMs in the Age of AI* series, this time focused on Vision and Strategy. In a conversation that blends product thinking, personal reflection, and a healthy dose of AI skepticism, John helps us explore what it really means for PMs to define where they’re going, and how to get there.

    John defines vision as the desired end state or future outcome, and strategy as the path, phases, and tradeoffs required to reach it. With examples ranging from long-term business goals to the realities of regulated industries, he explains why product managers still need to lead on vision and strategy even when leadership doesn’t provide a clear direction, and why AI can support this work, but not fully own it.

    Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with John:
    • What vision and strategy actually mean in product management, and why they’re easy to confuse - How to connect a big vision to practical milestones, obstacles, and key results
    • Why AI can help with analysis and brainstorming, but can’t replace human creativity, empathy, or rule-breaking thinking - The limits of AI in regulated spaces like finance and healthcare, where context and compliance matter
    • Why PMs often have to create strategy when the organization doesn’t hand it to them - How to use AI as a thinking partner without outsourcing your strategic judgment
    • The balance between staying anchored in the long-term vision and adjusting to the realities of the market, user needs, and constraints
    • John’s perspective on where product teams should be careful not to let AI flatten nuance or over-automate strategy
    • And much more
