The Product Podcast: Recent Episodes
Product School
Tune in to The Product Podcast, where we chat to all-star Product Leaders from Google, Facebook, Amazon, and dozens of other tech companies. We talk about everything from breaking into the industry and setting career goals, to collaborating with diverse teams and knowing when to pivot. All things Product Management, basically!
n8n's founder puts the company's GitHub repo, nearly 200,000 stars, right next to the paid signup button, and he's genuinely fine if you never pay. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) sits down with Jan Oberhauser, CEO of n8n, the open-source automation platform that's crossed $100 million in ARR at a $5.2 billion valuation. Jan breaks down the "fair-code" license bet that let him give the product away and still build a business, how that free version became the on-ramp into enterprises like Meta, Nvidia, Dell, Accenture, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, and Mercedes, and why he believes the people with the problem should build the automation themselves, not a centralized team or an outside agency.
He also walks through a live build of a personal AI agent (email and calendar), shows how n8n falls back from Claude to GPT via OpenRouter when a model isn't available, and explains how enterprises get automations into production faster because each agent can only do exactly what it's been permitted to do.
What you'll learn:
- Why n8n rejected traditional open source for a "fair-code" license, and how it avoided the community backlash that burned other companies
- Why trust and consistency, not features, are the real center of a community
- How the free, self-hosted version drives bottom-up adoption inside major enterprises
- Why "sprinkling AI on top" kills products, and what to build instead
- How to chain agents so one agent's output becomes the next agent's input
- Why n8n is the "connective tissue" between models, tools, and business systems
- How guardrails (an agent can only do what it's explicitly allowed) speed up enterprise procurement and production
- Why the people with the problem should own the building, not a centralized AI team
- How 10,000+ community templates and 500+ integrations expand what non-technical builders can ship
- How one company routes 75% of support through an n8n agent, with customers happier than with humans

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Amit Zavery, President and Chief Product Officer at ServiceNow. The platform runs more than 75 billion workflows a year with around $15 billion in annual revenue growing over 20%. Its market cap is above $100 billion, yet the stock is down more than 30% this past year, while its AI business is on track for $1.5 billion, ahead of a $1 billion plan.
Amit previously ran product and platform at Oracle for over two decades and was a VP and General Manager at Google Cloud.
What you'll learn:
- Why the market can't yet tell AI winners from losers, and why companies that don't transform will get killed
- Why the idea of one company becoming the single end-to-end enterprise orchestrator is a fallacy
- The spare part approach that makes most enterprise AI projects fail, and what pacesetters do instead
- Why access is shifting from user interfaces to agents, and what taking action actually requires
- How to hold long-term conviction on platform bets while the market judges you on short-term sentiment
Key takeaways:
- Transform or die: the market will separate AI-native platforms from legacy vendors
- Interoperability beats domination in the agentic era
- Governance only wins when it accelerates innovation, not when it blocks it

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Saral Jain, SVP of Engineering at Snapchat, the last independent social platform operating at global scale, with 956 million monthly active users closing in on the one billion mark and a community that opens the app more than 30 times a day.
Saral joined Snap nine years ago, right around the IPO, after nearly a decade leading engineering teams at Amazon Web Services, and today leads all engineering for Snapchat, spanning product experiences, multi-cloud infrastructure, and the company's machine learning and generative AI platforms.
What you'll learn:
- How Snap lets designers and product managers ship production code, with an AI agent running the first review pass on 90% of code within 5 minutes
- What Casper is: the AI teammate any team at Snap can invoke from Slack or Jira to build a working prototype from a conversation
- How Snap turned company-wide AI adoption into business impact after early prototypes were being built and thrown away
- How lean startup squads mix engineers, designers, and data scientists to launch zero-to-one bets inside a mature platform
Key takeaways:
- Quality control does not have to slow down who gets to ship, it has to change what reviews the work first
- Widespread AI adoption is not the same as business impact, and the gap between the two is where most AI investment is being wasted right now
- Small, cross-functional teams with blurred roles can move faster than traditional org structures, even inside a billion-user company

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Jeff Kunins, Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer at Axon, the company that created the Taser and the body cameras federal agencies wear.
Axon ingests more video per year than YouTube, and with a market cap of approximately $32.9 billion and $2.78 billion in revenue, growing 33% year over year, it is one of the highest-growth companies in the S&P 500.
What you'll learn:
- How law enforcement agencies are using AI inside body cameras and Tasers to save lives, not just hit metrics.
- Why Axon declared a public moratorium on facial recognition AI for six years and what finally changed.
- How Axon embeds external activists and researchers directly into product manager squads as a design input, not a compliance process.
- Building first-party AI models for real-time license plate detection while using foundation LLMs for everything else.
Key takeaways:
- Axon created the Taser and the body cam, and now ingests more video per year than YouTube. Most people have never heard of them.
- Build only what you must to be differentiated. Everything else, license from the best available source.
- Ethics review is not a compliance burden. When embedded in the product lifecycle, external critics help you see around corners and design better products.

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Arnab Bose, Chief Product Officer at Asana. Asana is the work management platform built for human and AI collaboration, trusted by over 170,000 customers including Accenture, Amazon, and Anthropic. The platform's Work Graph maps goals to portfolios to projects to tasks and serves as the foundation for Asana's AI Teammates: collaborative agents that operate inside the graph, learn from human decisions, and compound their intelligence with every cycle.
What you'll learn:
- Why enterprise AI spend keeps returning zero productivity gains, and what is structurally breaking the loop
- Why every employee approval, correction, or rejection of AI output is training data that makes the system smarter over time
- How Asana wires its own processes through the Work Graph so that AI decisions write back automatically and compound rather than reset
- How PLG, forward-deployed engineers, and AI agents all report to the CPO, each under a GM who owns a revenue number
- Why the future of AI at work belongs to whoever has the richest shared context, not whoever has the best model
Key takeaways:
- Individual AI productivity gains compound into zero enterprise ROI when decisions never write back into a shared system
- Every human approval or correction is training data. The companies that capture it structurally will pull ahead of those that don't
- PLG is an acquisition funnel, not a sales motion. Giving it a GM with a revenue number inside product changes the incentives entirely

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Jay Choi, Chief Executive Officer at Typeform. Typeform is the AI engagement platform trusted by more than 150,000 customers, including 95% of the Fortune 500. Before Typeform, Jay spent seven years as Chief Product Officer and General Manager at Qualtrics, where the company scaled from $100M to over $1B in ARR.
What you'll learn:
- Breadth of surface area as a stronger AI moat than depth of use case, and why going broad is the right strategic bet right now
- The dual posture Typeform built: a defensive strategy to make their core product impossible to replicate, and an offensive strategy to expand into full customer workflows
- Research Flow, their new product that compresses 50 customer interviews from weeks into hours using AI-moderated research
- Being model-agnostic from day one, and what they learned when switching models without an observability platform in place
- The pricing experiment framework Jay uses: 30 simulations before a single market goes live
Key takeaways:
- When AI threatens to commoditize your core product, expanding surface area is a stronger defense than adding AI features to what you already have
- Positioning AI capabilities in plain language, not technical terminology, is the difference between adoption and abandonment
- Happy churners are a product problem, not a marketing problem: the fix is finding structurally always-on use cases.

For episode 300 of The Product Podcast, Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia sits down with Ajit Varma, Head of Firefox at Mozilla, the nonprofit behind the original challenger browser that pioneered browser tabs, pop-up blockers, and browser extensions. With 210 million active users and $826 million in annual revenue, Firefox is the only major independent, open-source browser still standing against Google Chrome's 68% share, Apple Safari's 17%, and a new wave of agentic browsers.
Before Mozilla, Ajit spent six years at Meta leading monetization of WhatsApp and overseeing its business messaging platform. He has also held product roles at Google, Uber, and Square.
What you'll learn:
- Why LLMs are making browsers more strategically important, and what that means for product teams building in an agentic world
- Why "trust us" is no longer enough, and how open source changes the standard for privacy in AI products
-
- How to compete against trillion-dollar incumbents without abandoning your mission
Key takeaways:
- Privacy claims without open-source inspectability are unverifiable, "trust us" is no longer a sufficient product strategy in the AI era
- Competing against trillion-dollar companies is possible when mission clarity defines what you refuse to optimize for
- The agent-driven internet will either democratize access or concentrate it, product choices made today will determine which

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Cristina Cordova, Chief Operating Officer at Linear, the product development system built for teams and agents. Linear raised $82 million in a Series C round in June 2025 at a $1.25 billion valuation. The company has been profitable since 2021, and serves over 20,000 paid business customers, from seed-stage startups to Fortune 100 enterprises, with a team of just 140 people. Before Linear, Cristina joined Stripe as one of its first employees, and led Platform and Partnerships at Notion.
What you'll learn:
- Why keeping headcount intentionally lean is a strategic advantage
- Replacing traditional interviews with paid two to five-day projects
- Why PMs are the fastest-growing power users of agentic tools
Key takeaways:
- A small team is not a small business. Revenue, customers, and growth rate matter more than headcount.
- If you fully delegate your AI thinking, you lose your native understanding of how these products actually work
- Agentic workflows are now the default, not a feature. The companies that treat them that way will pull ahead.

Anthropic just closed a $65 billion Series H round at a valuation approaching one trillion dollars — and has crossed $30 billion in annualized revenue, driven largely by enterprise demand. Claude Code alone became generally available in May 2025 and reached $2.5 billion in annualized revenue in February 2026, with that figure more than doubling since the beginning of 2026.
Meaghan Choi, Head of Design for Claude Code and Cowork at Anthropic, was in that room. This conversation goes inside the operating model behind that growth.
What you'll learn:
- Claude Code's evolution from an internal feature into one of the fastest-growing revenue products in history
- Anthropic's secret sauce to shipping products at an incredibly high cadence while ensuring quality
- How product teams get structured into small pods of 5 AI Builders and a fleet of agents, where non-engineers ship code into production
- Driving enterprise adoption through PLG from technical teams
- How organizations can measure AI ROI beyond AI adoption and token usage
- Designing user interfaces for agentic capabilities, including CLI
Key takeaways:
- Titles and role boundaries matter less than contribution. At Anthropic, designers ship code and engineers design, and the pod owns the output collectively.
- Quality gates have moved downstream. The richest product learnings come from working software, not from reviewing mocks or PRDs.
- Managing a team now means managing both people and a fleet of AI agents. The skills are more similar than they appear.

Eric Ries wrote The Lean Startup — a book that has sold over 2 million copies and reshaped how a generation of founders and product teams build products. Fifteen years later, he's back with a new book, Incorruptible, and a harder question: not how to build a great company, but how to keep it that way.
What you'll learn:
- Why the forces destroying great companies are structural, not moral — and what that means for how you build
- How Saul Price built FedMart, and Costco's Jim Sinegal each solved half the problem, and why you need both halves
- How Anthropic used a purpose trust structure, the Long-Term Benefit Trust, to protect its safety mission from investor pressure
- Why values on the wall fail and what the Johnson & Johnson asbestos scandal reveals about how incentives quietly overwrite principles
- How builders at any level of an organization can start influencing governance without a title or authority
Key takeaways:
- Success makes you a target: the more valuable your company becomes, the more pressure it faces to betray the mission that made it valuable
- Ethos is the real moat: the intangible system of principles that makes a company trustworthy is harder to copy than any product or contract
- Governance is not a legal formality; it is the active, ongoing practice of protecting what you built from the forces that will try to extract it

Snowflake is the AI Data Cloud behind some of the world's largest enterprises — $4.68 billion in annual revenue, 29% year-over-year growth, and over 760 Forbes Global 2000 companies as customers. Baris Gultekin, VP of AI at Snowflake, leads the product efforts that sit at the center of how those enterprises actually operationalize AI. Before Snowflake, he co-founded Google Assistant and scaled it from 10 million to 500 million monthly users.
What you'll learn:
- Why our data isn't clean enough is a delay tactic — and the scoped approach to move past it
- What the semantic layer is and how it lets AI answer business questions accurately, not just fluently
- Why running AI next to data (instead of sending data to models) makes governance dramatically easier
- How Snowflake deployed AI internally: a CEO-level non-optional mandate combined with bottom-up access to their own Cortex coding agent
- Why context — not just data — is what agents need to operate reliably at enterprise scale
Key takeaways:
- Start with one scoped use case, build the semantic model around it, layer governance — don't wait for perfect data
- Context is a shared reality for agents: unified data + business semantics + codified workflows
- AI adoption compounds when leadership sets a hard mandate and simultaneously gives everyone a tool to experiment with

Superhuman Mail users respond to 72% more emails per hour and save an average of four hours every week — numbers backed by a case study from one of the Big Three strategy consulting firms. Rahul Vohra, CEO at Superhuman Mail, built the world's fastest email engine over three years without launching, held the line until the product was ready, and then productized product-market fit into a repeatable, measurable science. Following Superhuman's acquisition by Grammarly in 2025, Rahul is now steering the company toward a unified AI-native productivity suite spanning email, calendar, tasks, and agents.
What you'll learn:
- The 5-step PMF Engine: how to survey, segment, analyze, implement, and track your way to product-market fit with a numerical score
- Why you should ignore the not disappointed and most somewhat disappointed users — and which signals actually tell you who to build for
- How to use the High Expectation Customer (HXC) framework to narrow your market without changing your product
- Why PMF is a moving target and how to defend it against commoditization and copy-cat competition
- How Rahul operates as the editor of the product — using 20 verbatim quotes to push PMs and designers to sharper decisions
Key takeaways:
- If more than 40% of your users would be very disappointed without your product, you have an initial PMF — and you can measure your way there
- Changing your market is faster than changing your product — segmentation alone can jump your PMF score 10 points overnight
- Building for your highest-expectation customer is not the same as building for your ICP — confuse the two, and you'll optimize for the wrong signal

GoFundMe has facilitated over $40 billion in help since 2010, powering a community of more than 200 million people across 20 countries. Arnie Katz is the Chief Product and Technology Officer there — and a three-time CPTO, having previously led product and engineering at StubHub and TheRealReal. In this episode, he brings the rare perspective of someone who has built and scaled marketplaces at every stage, across multiple industries.
What you'll learn:
- The three failure modes every marketplace must solve — cold start, imbalance failure, and false positive growth — and how to fix each one
- How GoFundMe is using AI agents to reduce friction for fundraisers, resulting in an expected $125 million in additional funds raised
- Why AI is driving revenue growth at GoFundMe, not just developer productivity — and how they sequenced that deliberately
- The real trade-offs of the CPTO model: what you gain in speed, and what you have to mitigate through hiring
- How GoFundMe is building demand-side and matching mechanisms to grow donation volume beyond viral sharing
Key takeaways:
- Marketplace liquidity isn't just about having enough supply — it's about designing the right matching and demand mechanisms at every stage of scale
- AI unlocks revenue opportunities that were previously uneconomical to pursue, especially when the customer is already in a vulnerable, high-friction state
- The CPTO structure enables faster decision-making, but requires consciously strong functional leaders underneath to offset the natural lean toward one side

Robinhood posted $4.5 billion in revenue in 2025, up 52% year-over-year, while growing its Gold subscriber base 58% to 4.2 million paid members. Abhishek Fatehpuria, VP of Product at Robinhood, joined the platform as an intern in 2016 and has built the brokerage business from a single-product equities app into a multi-product financial platform. This episode is a detailed look at how Robinhood structures product thinking at scale — without sacrificing the UX moat that made it win in the first place.
What you'll learn:
- How Robinhood uses two leading indicators, net deposits and Gold subscriptions, to measure long-term customer commitment before revenue shows up
- Why treating legal and compliance partners as product owners, not blockers, is the unlock for shipping fast in a regulated market
- The "barbell strategy" for UX: design for the newest user and the most advanced user simultaneously, and let the middle take care of itself
- How the early-stage ideation sprint has compressed from 4–5 weeks to 2–3 days with AI tools
- Why Robinhood Social is built on verified identity and real trades — and what that unlocks for the future of retail investor relations
Key takeaways:
- Paid subscriptions aren't just a revenue line — they're the connective tissue that drives multi-product adoption across a platform
- Pride is a scalable quality standard: when teams enforce it themselves, quality and speed stop being in conflict
- AI embedded into workflows moves faster than AI bolted on as a standalone feature

Jeff joined Zoom in 2019 and has led product through three distinct eras — COVID hypergrowth, multi-product expansion, and the current agentic AI shift. In this conversation, he breaks down what actually changes when AI becomes core infrastructure for how teams work.
What you'll learn:
- How Zoom tripled headcount in under a year during COVID and what breaks at that scale
- Why expanding into mail, calendar, and documents was never about copying Google or Microsoft — it was about owning the full work lifecycle around meetings
- How AI Companion 3.0 performs agentic retrieval across first- and third-party tools to surface insights and produce work product from a single prompt
- Why MCP and open integrations are non-negotiable when you can't afford to be siloed

What you'll learn:
- Why removing steps from the purchase funnel is the single biggest growth lever for modern product teams.
- How TikTok's generative AI tools allow merchants to produce high-performing video creative at scale without a production team.
- The shift from spontaneous live streams to scheduled commercial events driving $1M per hour in sales.
- How TikTok balances feed, commerce, search, and messaging as four distinct monetization pillars.
Key takeaways:
- The most successful products in the AI era put the user directly at the point of transaction.
- Organic creator content consistently outperforms traditional high-production advertising.

In this episode, Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia, CEO at Product School, sits down with Robby Stein, VP of Product at Google Search. Google Search serves billions of users and holds over 90% of the global market share, acting as the engine behind Alphabet's $400 billion in annual revenue.
Robby is steering the most significant shift in Search history: the transition to AI. He oversees a massive portfolio, including the new AI Mode, which has already scaled to 75 million daily active users. Drawing from his time building Stories and Reels at Instagram, Robby breaks down how to build zero-to-one products inside a tech giant and why you need high conviction to push through early bad data.
What you’ll learn:
- Building Like a Startup: How to maintain crazy speed and focus on zero-to-one initiatives while protecting a massive core business.
- True Product-Market Fit: Why flat or J-curve retention in early cohorts is the only reliable indicator that a product is actually working.
- The Value of Colossal Disasters: The untold story of how early failures with Instagram Reels and Close Friends were necessary steps to global success.
- Agentic Search: How Google is moving beyond providing links to executing complex, multi-step tasks by deeply understanding personal context.
Key takeaways:
- Start Small to Win Big: Even at Google's scale, massive AI products begin with just 500 trusted testers and a focus on solving specific user complaints.
- Look for the Golf Shot: When building AI, look for that rare moment when the whole system works perfectly to build the conviction needed to keep iterating.
- Leaders Must Co-Create: To move fast in a large org, leaders shouldn't just approve from the top; they need to form working groups and operate in the details.

In this episode, Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia interviews Chris Geoghegan, VP of Product at Zapier. As the company’s first-ever Product Manager, Chris has spent nearly a decade scaling Zapier into a $5 billion automation giant that serves over 3.4 million businesses and 69% of the Fortune 1000.
Zapier is not just building AI tools; they are powering their entire company with them. Chris reveals that his team currently runs over 800 active AI agents internally to manage everything from calendar prep to engineering triage. He breaks down the Code Red moment that shifted their strategy and how they are defining the future of Agentic Workflows.
What you’ll learn:
- Agentic vs. Deterministic: Why standard workflows follow a set path, while agents can reason, access knowledge, and change course to solve problems.
- The Orchestration Layer: How to hire and onboard AI agents using Context Engineering and Model Context Protocols (MCPs).
- Adoption vs. Transformation: Why adoption is just doing old tasks faster, while transformation unlocks business models that were previously impossible.
- Building a Moat: How Zapier uses its vast data on user intent to stay ahead of commodity LLM features.
