Going Deeper: What Worked?
Here are some of the key takeaways for me from this:
Let’s cover all 4 of these buckets:
1. What Resonated Most
The theme of 2024 was clearly AI product management. Though I only wrote a few posts on it, you all loved them.
We’ll double down on hitting the trendiest topics in 2025.
Growth case studies and career development also resonated, so we’ll continue that.
2. Don’t Rely on One Acquisition Channel
Growth this year was phenomenal, from 90K to 151K subscribers.
But the same channels did not always deliver. X, fka Twitter, went from a huge driver to almost nothing at all. And, LinkedIn has decreased.
So I had to shift more to Substack and SEO.
3. PM is Not The Same Everywhere
This newsletter has a highly global readership. And the content has reflected that: touching on Indian and European PM topics, not just US one’s.
I’ll continue to.
4. In the Era of AI, Good Writing and Research Matters More than Ever
You can get so much AI-driven slop on the web now. I’m focusing on:
Depth > Breadth
Practical > Theoretical
Specific > General
Stories > Frameworks
For Those Seeking a Sequence
I wanted to end with a breakdown of how I would suggest reading them in order if you wanted to:
Looking Ahead to 2025
Next year, I’m deepening my commitment to the best product and growth content:
More original research and company deep dives
Enhanced tactical frameworks and tools
Advanced leadership and strategy content
All of this is made possible by our paid subscribers. At just $150/year - less than the cost of a single product management course - you get access to the complete library of deep dives, equivalent to over $8,000 worth of traditional product management education.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to an amazing 2025! 🚀
If you are looking for company examples to profile, I would love a deep dive into my own company, Siemens Healthineers. The collaboration would be great if that were possible, too. Thanks for all the content!
