Product Night: Sustainable Discovery & Navigating Organizational Readiness 🚀
We all know that product work isn’t just about developing features.
It’s about making product work sustainable - from keeping discovery alive over time to getting products launched without wasting too much energy on alignment, stakeholder management, and organisational friction.
That’s often where product work starts to slip: discovery isn’t maintained, launches stall, and too much effort goes into managing the system instead of building the product.
Join the **Product Academy** community at Westpark Zurich for an evening of raw insights, real-world failures, and proven frameworks from two industry experts.
**Who is this for?**
* The Strategist: PMs who want to use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST) to build the right thing faster.
* The Change-Maker: PMs in large corporates are tired of "stalled" launches and stakeholder misalignment.
* The Lifelong Learner: Anyone looking to network with the Zurich product community.
**Limited spots available**.
**The Lineup:**
**Vivienne Clement (Product Owner @ Swiss Post)**
* Talk: What happens when the Product is ready, but the Organisation isn't?
* The Vibe: A deep dive into the "political" side of PMing. Learn how to manage stakeholder buy-in and overcome hidden resistance when **launching AI and B2B products** in large corporations.
**John Huertas (Product Manager @ Swiss Re)**
* Talk: Making Continuous Discovery & Opportunity Solution Trees Sustainable.
* The Vibe: Move beyond theory. John shares lessons from a multi-year journey of experimentation to show how teams can bring more discipline to discovery, improve prioritisation, and make product decisions with greater confidence.
**The details:**
* 📅 When: May 7, 2026
* ⏰ Time: 18:30 CET
* 📍 Where: Westpark Zurich
Grab your seat and let’s level up your product game together!
ZH3 Hash # 1725: OneNight Squatty Hashyversary
Hares are One Night Wonder and Squatty Potty.
We are celebrating 15 and 12 years of Hashing, depends who you ask :)
We are planning to lay the trail of the year, you certainly do not want to miss that or our legendary Shot Stop(s).
Let’s celebrate hashing in style!
Bag drop at the Hare’s hutch a.k.a Ferrari Towers, ring bell A. Stone.
ON AFTER at our beloved Pizzeria Piratino, few meters away.
Tram 2 right by the door step. Bus 80 100 mts away
**Where**:
See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
• The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Wir freuen uns auf euch!
Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.
Film screening: Collision
Join us for a compelling evening of film and conversation with a special screening of *Collision* (2023), a powerful documentary by Ocean Souls Films.
*Collision* sheds light on a largely under-reported but devastating issue: the fatal impact of ship strikes on whales and marine biodiversity. Through striking visuals and expert insights, the film reveals how increasing maritime traffic poses a serious threat to some of the ocean’s most majestic and vulnerable species.
Hosted by the International Volunteers of WWF Zurich, this event aims to raise awareness and spark meaningful discussion around ocean conservation and the urgent need for change.
Whether you are passionate about wildlife, environmental protection, or simply interested in impactful storytelling, this screening offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and engage.
Stay after the film for an open discussion and exchange of ideas with like-minded attendees.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Swimming in the Limmat
Hello dear Challengers,
if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015.
Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos.
https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/7/5/600_466843637.jpeg
See you there!

Fearless Living
**Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?**
Many of us find ourselves stuck in situations that drain our happiness, yet we can’t seem to gather the momentum to break free. It could be an unhealthy relationship, a job that leaves you unfulfilled, social anxiety, or the relentless grip of worry. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—millions, if not billions, of people face the same struggles.
But here’s the interesting part—fear loses its grip the moment you confront it. The more closely you examine it, the weaker it becomes. Fear thrives in the shadows, and once exposed to light, it begins to dissolve.
I invite you to join me for a few hours of practical learning where we’ll explore techniques to help you take charge of your fears. Together, we’ll fast-track your progress by sharing tools and insights that I’ve gathered
through personal experience—lessons learned the hard way.
**Fearless Living** was created as a space for us to tackle our fears head-on. Through regular workshops, we teach participants how to recognize, manage, and reduce the impact of fear so it no longer stands in the way of living fully.
Let me be clear—I’m not a therapist, psychologist, or any kind of professional “-ist.” I’m simply someone who has wrestled with fear and come out the other side with insights to share. This event isn’t designed for those dealing with severe trauma or crisis, but for those ready to take that first step toward breaking free from the everyday fears that hold us back.
If you’re ready to loosen fear’s hold on your life, I’d love for you to join us.
**Feedback from previous workshop attendees:**

**Nadima** \- "Brainstorm was very interesting\! It started like any other creative meeting\- whiteboard markers in hand\. The goal? The ideas felt safe\. We started asking real questions\. The brainstorm turned into a kind of therapy\. Vulnerability became the source of our most powerful ideas\. What made that brainstorm unforgettable wasn‘t the outcome\- it was the shift\. Sometimes\, solving the problem means confronting what we never thought to name\."
**Mark** \- "I really connected to Rocco and he helped in giving me tools to face my fears\. A great workshop\."
**Kenny** \- "The workshop truly empowered me to analyze my fear of public speaking and provided strategies for overcoming it\."
**Nico** \- "Thanks for doing this\. I perceived your workshop as very useful with practical techniques that participants can apply without any prior knowledge\. Also\, you are clearly very passionate and competent about fear and ways to deal with it\. I'm looking forward to applying your techniques\!"
**Kai** \- "Rocco knows his stuff\. He is able to create an atmosphere where it feels natural to talk about such an intimate topic as your personal fear\. I learned a lot\, about fear and about myself\!"
**J.K.** \- "The topics we discussed resonated with me and I felt totally safe and relaxed to hear what bothered me\. Helpful and gives that kick to start acting for the better"\.
**J. Zhu** \- "Everything you said in the workshop resonated with me\."\.
**Alex** \- "You don't know what you walk into but it doesn't disappoint\. Rocco provides a unique atmosphere that encourages self\-reflection and taking action\."
**Agi** \- "Thank you for providing us a great workshop\! I really enjoyed\, and I think it has a great relevance in my life\, as well as in many other people's life\. 'On the spot' target to do a WS about\!"
**Falk** \- "It was a great Workshop that helps me overcome my fears\."
Mäng - transformational game
EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT.
Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy.
A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit.
💡 **How it works:**
Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change:
1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs
2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns
3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies
4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness
You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries.
🌿 **Who is this for?**
For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology.
🕒 **Important:**
This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment.
Price for newbies: 250 CHF

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
