Product managers learn better from real playbooks than theory. The speaker built a customer data platform using ETL and reverse-ETL patterns, and argues that concrete case studies beat manifestos. He learns from podcasts, conferences, and Discord communities where people discuss actual work.

But that's what I want is I don't, I don't want to hear in the abstract. I don't want to hear your theory. I don't want to read some giant manifesto. I want to hear last month we had to build this customer data platform for this specific campaign. And here's how we handled the ETL augmentation, reverse ETL pattern. And these are the problems we encountered. I want to hear that because that's what I can take back to my team and go, hey, we're tackling a similar problem. This is how this company did it. And you don't get that in books. The books are too theoretical. And so there's still a useful reference. I feel like if you're a new product manager, I would love to have a handful of books to be like, read this, listen to this, like the Marty Cagan for software product management. I want like something like that. But the content I personally am most interested in is podcast conferences or like Discord servers talking to people about like the, the nitty-gritty of the job.
