Building with Intention: Tanmay Goel on Product Thinking for Therapists
Therapists are already trained to listen closely, understand what someone needs beneath what they ask for, and act with care. Product thinking asks for surprisingly similar things.
In this conversation, Tanmay Goel, co-founder of Emoneeds and a product leader with a decade of experience across Rakuten, Google/YouTube and Chime and more recently cofounder of wellbeing services provider Emoneeds, joins Harshali, founder of TiNT, to unpack what product thinking really is and why therapists are better placed to use it than they think.
Whether you're curious about building something yourself, want to be a stronger voice when tech teams ask for your input, or simply want to understand how the tools you use get made, this hour is for you.
What we'll cover
What product thinking means for therapists, in plain language, with no jargon
Where clinical skills and product skills overlap
How well-intentioned mental health products go wrong
What to ask before you build, or before you lend your expertise to someone else's build
