Now the listener's letting us know that they have been sitting in this closure. On I 95 northbound towards Baltimore for approximately two hours now. Just about over that. Unfortunately, all lanes on the northbound side of I 95 are completely shut down, headed up towards Baltimore. Unfortunately, past one 95, you can not make your way past one 95. What are your options here if you're trying to get up towards Baltimore 95 northbound, you either have to use 8 95 or one 95 to then northbound towards Baltimore, your option will be either route one or the VW Parkway.

I wanna do this. I believe in our mission. And i'm going to have to learn how to do things a little bit differently and i can do it with your help and you can do it with my help. And that gives a path for people to understand that it will be different but that might be okay all they might think you know what i really like what i'm doing. I like having multiple tilak being a part of that. And then i'm a big believer in helping those people find the right role in ecosystem because then we get more companies that Get to successful seriously.

Like that is something that don't come to identify with me. I'm incredibly boring But it is often be jumped from where people's brains at at the time and so two that that. That's why i say that stat between series bayan series say so critical and having people that have have done it before on. Your team is also a really really smart thing to do because otherwise you make all the same mistakes which is that you either have a players from series bay who are probably trying really hard to get there as fast as possible like okay like. How do we need to change. What got us to here won't get us to their a. k. But you can't really she's brain gear that fast. It doesn't doesn't work like that. And then you have some people that come in at that stage black myself and potentially they elect. I know where we're going. Get on the highway. Let's guy and it's very difficult for people to shift the shift gear that fast and so you need to be patient you also you can. You can have a plan but you need to work out. What people can absorb effectively at any one point in time. And what are the immediate problems that you need to solve Because if you sold them now that will be bigger problems to solve in the future. Oh and what a problems that you can actually hold for a little bit. Even you potentially have ideas on how you can solve those problems. You won't be effective in those solutions. If you try and do everything once and i learned that the hard way at times i've been in in tames there was not a lot of management people need a manager when you're going through this amount of change and if you don't have the people there who they can trust and rely on at least when they talked to.

"The product conference in december and When i was asked to speak. I wanted to talk about something in the leadership tracked and i wanted to talk about something that people could use and i think i've read all the books i and i love all the books and have a pile of them on my desk but one of the things i noticed when i went into earliest stage companies and with more inexperienced product manager potentially was that there was a dogmatic belief in a particular way of doing something so that they read a book and they might not that they run come show their books but they kind of picked a model and they wanted to know what we should do it this way because that's what it says And one of the things i've learned. Maybe it's because. I worked in lots of different cultures and that doesn't work when a guy from a chinese coach to coach But i lack the tools but before you apply the tool you need to assess the situation to work out what tools. Aw what systems or what processes. If any you need in that particular situation and so i liked to check on a kind of sweet acronym which is code schiff. Maybe it's because it's like you're cooking. Leadership is a bit like cooking but the s stands with status like what's the status in going into a role or an organization like check the status of things. What is how is it going. What does it feel lack. Where the things you can generally sense quite quickly. What the status of the situation is and then once you've got that status you look at the history because the status is most likely a result of the historical effects and it might be in alien the company they used a white label solution that was really limited and then they had to build some features really quickly hacked onto the white label solution. So you've got the history of technology you will say. He's g of the people in the organization. I spoke to a company a while ago. That said they had a head of product a year ago and that person like completely missed everything up. They're all still recovering from from that person being there and i was like. Oh god like that changes. Then how you talk to. The product manages how you talk to the rest of the organization. The next is the existing game. So i won't game is the is the company or the product or the people. What game are they playing right. And as those games that we know you like playing the monetization game of a playing freemium game They might be playing the white label game. Or maybe they playing the consulting game you will all gone into companies whether it's full of ex consultants and the information can is it easy. Looks different feels different to companies. That don't have that many ex consultants in it and working that out and then looking at the future and what is coming. Where do you wanna go..

"I think look one of the challenges that we face as a just society in general and certainly in the banking industry i noticed this really strongly. Is that consumers a changing at a foster right than they ever have ever in history and of course we're feeding that by instant everything but technology potentially can keep up but humans kant. So what's really interesting is that we are trying to operate at a pace which is not sustainable. And i think when. I say that i think. Oh god should i say that but but it's an important thing to acknowledge because we need to find a way to be able to make it sustainable and that might mean that different teams are operating at peak at any one point in time and you're moving the responsibility and accountability around people and humans run at sprint pace for a marathon. It's not possible. And and one of the things. I tend to use really stupid analogy. So i'll apologize for that but you know when you'll in be and series a everything is a sprint right. It's a fifty eight sprint to the. Mvp is a hundred meter. Sprint to this. It's a and then you get to siri say and you can still make them hundred hundred and two mehta. Two hundred major sprints but can't ask them to finish stand up and do it again and finish. Stand up and do it again. You need to to work out that okay. We're gonna run a columbia here. I didn't that might be your eighteen month plan. And that means that we're gonna to do five. Two hundred major sprints. I what are those five hundred sprint. Gonna be and who do we need in each of them and that kind of planning can really help. Because you can't have the same person even the stop of star rana running every sprint. You'll you'll kill them.

"Being able to keep people aligned and end all going in the same direction is is very very difficult at because it's it's very different to how you communicate before and what was probably quite natural in the earliest stages you owe completely on the same page. You potentially had less diversity in the organization and you really. Everyone was just on the same page all the time. Because you're always talking always chatting always working together and as you get bigger and bigger can only have so many close relationships in sorry it happens across functions as well not only in in tames that once the product manager would speak to the marketing lead off sleet and they were the people that they interacted with the moist and then time goes on and all of a sudden. This full pm's working in the domain and they need to talk to those other three pm's every day and so they don't talk to the ops manager as often anymore or the the marketing manager. And so they don't know what's going on and that's when you start to say silos develop and people making decisions independent of each other because we only hire smart people who make false decisions. But if they don't have all the information they going to make decisions potentially a different other decisions being made in the organization so complexity in decision alignment. That's one of the big things to end guessing. Something i've seen in large organizations. You don't understand the second third or ninth order effects of a decision you're making and you don't have the time to check with everybody. Is that one of the things. You're talking about fisher. And and sorry the model of having just a product bandages who super driven super smart. Getting done still need those people. But you also need other roles as well and that can be difficult to because often the people that were instrumental in series. I series bay. Those stills aunt necessarily the skills that you need to high out in say. it doesn't mean you don't need them anymore you do. They're incredibly important. But the either perception that management positions assane as a more important than other positions in that can be difficult to traverse in this stage. Because you've got people that have pulled their heart and soul and have completely built the core of of the organization And you need to develop them into the latest. I most definitely can become but you might not have the time to do it as fast as you need the leadership so you need to kind of paralyze training and coaching of the people that you have in the organization with bringing some talent in Things up it sounds like such a tricky balance leader. I wonder from a an employee going through that stage as well as i imagine. Kind of just everything getting like a lot more work going on as you were when as you just move today. Urban will people to speak to. And then you get that funding round and it's kind of like maybe a bit of relief of like we hit our targets. We did all this things we rent today. Now we've got funding but now we've got highlights when people so it's more kids. It's like a slightly so if like never ending cycle doesn't just changes sarah said. Is there a way of kind of staying sane throughout pressure into in kind of constant change sanity left my sanity back about a decade..

"So being a the top of the t shaped skills to really the bottom. The the base of the tail right going deep. You want experts you. You want deep expertise in functions. So that's when you look at your pricing system. You want an expert in pricing to make sure that you have got the best pricing model for the global ambition that you have That's when you get experts in different functions and a. That's a really big change from people wearing ten hats of different roles and drive being the thing that gets it done And often it happens really quickly because you start hiring those experts and if you haven't managed the expectations of the organization will it will be quite a shock for people to say. Well i can do that and you can say well. It's not that. I don't think that you can do it. It's just that we're shifting and we want someone to be dedicated to this particular topic and and that can be quite hard for organizations culturally a really wanna talk to you about the type of leadership challenges that you have at different levels but before we talk about the product people that you bring in so you might start hiring you probably the first product person in series. You might start bringing one or two more rounded be. What are you looking for. In the type of people you would hire as as product managers in the level versus. What you'd be looking to optimize for at says rec- company so in series in bay. You're looking for super hands on getting really work. getting done. product manages right end really things like documentation of it or the communication of what you're doing is a secondary to just getting it done As you go from series to series say product leadership becomes incredibly important. Because you're growing the organization quite fast in theory and communication becomes the biggest block of everything in the organization because what was once an old hands where he sat around. The kitchen table is now. Multiple offices potentially multiple countries timezones cultures and the flow of communication and.

"The attention of of people early on and once you've once you've done that you have a core team probably no more than ten to be honest and you kind of just get it done and everyone's in you really mucking together. Just believing that they believe in what you told them you total. It's an amazing story. Something i think has legs. They lack the tame a lot of early early stage. Investors invest in the people. Not necessarily in the idea and it's it's kind of family centric right. Everyone is in it together. And it's very close. Series bay is about building right. Sorry you've done series a you've you've kind of proven out your hypothesis and they need to really build it lack k. Like maybe that we built something on a third party techs tackle we hacks together a couple of white label solution so it could spell it out. A proof point series b. is like okay. We need to build this. And that's when you get the vase dot to coming And they're like okay. So if proven you hypothesis series. You've grown a little bit. You've got really smart tame you know what you doing all right. We're going to give you some funds to build this thing and that's when You have lots of people doing lots of things. I have enough money to get the pricing manager and the crm lead. You probably have someone who's got a background in marketing. They've jumped on the crm thing and something that came up in in the process of the z are. They added that job to the hats and they added another hat because we needed someone to jumping on the product side of the organization. And so what you've got is a team of incredibly smart highly driven highly ambitious multiple wearing people. Look to be boo colon generalists..

"Cost. It's very lovely. Have you hear and amd before. We get kicked off into our topic of the day. It be great if you could give us a really quick intro Here you on what you are doing in products in how you got to where you are. I'd love to lily. Thinks having made i. i'm georgie. I am an australian. He lives in berlin. Which is a very long story which we can say for a different podcast. I've been in. I guess you'd call them tech companies for about thirteen years Ended up there by accident. Yielded because the detainees agree tech companies. Like this random dragon over there that everyone had to take a big risk to jump into. But once i got there. The environment of tech companies and the speed and the the creativity in the creation really hooked me and sorry industry directed a company called real estate dot com today. you which Grew massively while i was there and as part of that company as well. I got opportunity to work in hong kong on the chinese business which was amazing but completely different from working in the same company in australia on so when i land in australia was that i love the environment in this creation and really building. Something that can add value to someone's life and in hong kong. I realized that to do that successfully. You couldn't just replicate and replicate. It was different because of the team. It was different because of the consumers what they wanted how. They consumed information After hong kong went to germany for the first time and i worked on the ip of scout twenty four which again was another cultural experience. Because i don't think you could pick three more cultural controlling entrees than the australia. Hong kong and jimmy. And you really having. That is my third big experience. You really have to reinvent it every time and you could use the same the same same principles in the same tools but you couldn't execute the same way because it didn't deliver the same results you had to work out. What was the outcome that you were trying to shave. And then work out what bits he needed. And how you would get there with with the pieces that you had at the time and at the time it was different depending on the culture that operating and so from there. I've done a couple of different things. I've bounced around the world and landed back in in billion about three years ago working within twenty six as apo. i was responsible for the strategy. End making sure that we drove really the financial sector to a place thought about the consumer first and that was really big thing for the banking sector and from twenty six in the amazing experience that i had that i knew that that's what i wanted to do. I wanted to be in companies that were really the pointy edge of the soul like the pioneer products..
