About the Episode

An interview with Gibson Biddle. Gib is the former VP of Product Management at Netflix, and former CPO of Chegg. Nowadays, he's a coach and teacher who gave 140 talks over the last year. He's also recently started a mailing list, "Ask Gib" where he answers some of the top voted questions every week.

We understandably speak about a lot, including:

• His new newsletter "Ask Gib", and why you should subscribe to it
• Whether he's gotten any difficult questions he couldn't answer, and what he did
• How he manages to do 140 events and how he optimises the format by experimenting and tracking metrics
• How to make an impact in your first 90 days as a product leader, and how he did that at Netflix
• The importance of moving quickly to make an impact, and striking whilst the iron is hot
• What to do if you aren't passionate about the company you work for, and when to leave
• How to handle M&A as part of your product strategy & why not to worry about the valuation
• The pros & cons of using different frameworks to teach product leadership practices
• Treating yourself as a product, and experimenting with your career choices to help build your intuition and business maturity
• The importance of taking risks, both in business as well as in your career
• Whether Gib could have saved Blockbuster, why he thinks they ultimately failed, and how the Innovator's Dilemma loomed large

And much more!
