Contrarian Show and Ask (Optional!)
I’ve heard from product folk in Vancouver who want to build connections & develop their craft - that’s why they subscribe to Lenny’s podcast.
This meetup includes an optional contrarian show-and-ask, for small groups (3-5 people) to share and get feedback on a real demo, document, product decision, or 'How I AI'.
You don't need to have anything to ask about to participate, but the event is better for everyone when there is more variety. And individually, the best feedback for you will be based on something you've thought a lot about.
Tips:
- avoid being ‘pitchy’
- lean into failures, near misses, or difficult decisions, where there is the most learning to be had
- present ideas or decisions as A vs B, rather than ‘is A a good idea?’
Here’s quotes from past feedback:
“fork in the road, two different decisions with tradeoffs [...] was great”
“I already acted on 2 of the 3 [takeaways I wrote down]”,
“makes the membership worth it!”
“I’ve been trying to spend more of my brain space thinking about what’s happening outside my own organization to help me build a better product, and the show-and-tell format was perfect for that”
