- Podcasting the Product Way: Behind the scenes of Product Journeys PodcastZ Energy Corporate Office, Wellington
World Product Day 2024
Join Fran and Lauchie, the co-hosts of Product Journeys Podcast, as they unravel insights, challenges, and explorations of the product management world.
As product managers themselves, Fran and Lauchie's journey began with a simple question: How do other Kiwi product managers navigate their career paths to success? Thus, the Product Journeys Podcast was born—a platform dedicated to uncovering the untold stories and invaluable insights of product leaders across New Zealand.
During this meetup, Fran and Lauchie will take you behind the scenes of their podcasting adventure. Discover how their curiosity sparked a path to explore product thinking and key product career learnings.
They’ll be sharing how they got started, how important product thinking has been as part of developing the podcast, key learnings along the way and what the most impactful gems are from season 1 of Product Journeys Podcast.
You’ll be among the first to glimpse into season 2 as Fran and Lauchie share their plans for the future and seek your feedback for the upcoming season.
Whether you're a seasoned product pro or just embarking on your journey, this meetup will be a fun perfect mix of inspiration and entertainment. Join us at Z Energy on 14 May.
