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 a ‘show-and-ask’; think ‘contrarian corner’.
I have booked space for small groups (3-5 people) to share and get feedback on a real document, feature decision, or how-I-AI .
To avoid being too ‘pitchy’ or relying on domain knowledge, ideas should be pitched as A vs B, rather than ‘is A a good idea?’.
Here’s some 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”

Clerk lets you ship production-grade authentication instantly without burning engineering sprints on sign-in/sign-up plumbing. We give your app everything it needs: pre-built components, organizations for B2B multi-tenancy, built-in subscription billing, and more — plus MCP server support so AI agents can authenticate and act on behalf of your users.
