We pick the brains of leaders behind world-known products and startups to uncover fuckups, failures, lessons learned, successes, and strategies that work.
In the podcast, we explore the product development world through the lens of new technologies like AR, VR, mixed reality, and IoT.
Welcome to another episode of #mindsetbynomtek. Our guest is Piotr Śliwiński, co-founder and VP of Innovation of Explain Everything.

And there’s one more — who usually stands behind great products? In this episode, we put more emphasis on the role of the product manager in the product development process.
