Who is this now? Yes. Who's at the door?
Hey, Rich. It's Paul. Can I come in?
Hey Paul. What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in a while.
We used to do that podcast back in the day, and I was thinking, if you're cool with it, we could start that podcast up again.
I can't talk about product management anymore, man. I just can't do it.
No, that's fair enough.
We said what we needed to say.
That was five years on APIs, PMs, and, and product. That was a What, what I've noticed is that out in the world, people are trying to make sense of a lot of what's happening with business and various kinds of change. And technology's at the root of it, but it's not the only thing. And everybody's trying to figure out what's next for them. And I don't know, maybe you and I have some insight here. I mean, we, we, we worked together for 10 years. We've did a lot of products.
We've worked with giant companies and governments and organizations, and we sold our company.
I think we're gonna have something to say. I, I think beyond having something to say, I don't think we're just gonna vent and complain. I think we wanna be helpful.
Yeah, let's be positive. Let's guide people and, and sort of let them know what we know. And, you know, They might disagree. They might have all kinds of thoughts, that'll be great.
Not always positive. Paul. I do need, I need that initial momentum to finally arrive at a helpful, constructive place.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I, I've been working on this a little bit. I think it's time. Also, you're, you're wearing like old shorts and a t-shirt with holes in it. I, it, we just gotta get into this again, man.
Let's get back out into the world. Um, we need a theme song. No.
Okay. I have good news.
