30 OCT 2024 · Product Management is not about frameworks. Yes, using some frameworks that fit well in your situation can save us a lot of time by organizing our thoughts and allowing us to collaborate better.And before there were frameworks, there were mindsets.
In this episode we are talking about a couple of mindset that help product managers and anyone who is building products to align better with the chaotic nature of our work.
Our guest on the show is Assaph Mehr, a product and people leader. He is currently a Senior Product Manager of AI at Squiz, a Product Management Advisor & Mentor at My Mentor Path, a thought provoking blogger, and an author (or several ward-winning stories of Togas, Daggers, and Magic series - for lovers of Dark Urban-Fantasy Detectives and Ancient Rome!).
On the episode, Assaph shared with us two of those mindsets - VUCA and Cynefin, and how they relate to our jobs as product people.
Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Assaph:
- How he got to product management
- His experience building AI products, and some of the challenges they raise
- What are these two mindsets all about (and how to pronounce Cynefin!)
- How to understand, and harness Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA)
- The balance between all of these, and how each of our domains can have a different mix
- Is it possible to quantify things like uncertainty or complexity?
- How he defines strategy
- The 5 domains of Cynefin, and the importance of fitting our problem to the right domain
- Can Product Managers impact their orgs to think in these ways?
- Can product job seekers test organizational fit by probing to see if they have the right mindset?
- And so much more…

2 OCT 2024 · In this episode, Matt and Moshe met to wrap up the Session Replay Tools series, and share what they learned after discussing several products.
In the series we learned about PostHog from Vincent Pavero, FullStory from Mandar Karlekar, HotJar from John Fontenot, and LogRocket from Zach Phillips and Nikki Zavadska.
As we usually do in the summary episode, we looked back at our learning throughout the series, and sure there were many!
Reflecting back on past product serieses we had, some of the themes came back also in this one, such as choosing a product that goes deep into one area and does if very well, verses choosing a product that does many different things and has a wide array of features, all integrated with each other, but might not go as deep into some of them. It is interesting to see how companies have either started in Session Replay and added other capabilities over time, and others that started in other areas such as Product Analytics, and added Session Replay more lately.
Join us on the episode as we further discuss:
- Use cases throughout the organization
- Technology used to record the sessions
- Insights from many sessions rather than one at a time
- Choosing the right one for you based on your needs
- How security is handled and the importance of having several approaches to it
- The emerging trends in AI and these products
- And much more!
Thank you to our guests in this series for sharing with us their experiences!

18 SEP 2024 · We continue our Session Replay series with the next product, LogRocket. To learn all about it, we had the pleasure to speak with two guests - Zach Phillips, Senior Product Analyst, and Nikki Zavadska, Lead Product Manager Growth, both at Appfire.
Their perspectives were complimentary so we decide, why not? Let’s talk with both! Zach is essentially in the product operations area of Appfire, and his team helps implementing LogRocket for the other teams that build products. Nikki is a growth product manager working on one of these teams, so she has first hand experience with some interesting use cases.
As a company that build many apps that are sold on 3rd party app store, such as Atlassian and Salesforce, Appfire needed flexibility and control in their session replay platform that they were able to find with LogRocket.
It is always interesting for us to learn new use cases and have aha moments on the show, and this one came to us when Nikki shared an interesting case, where she couldn’t have find the cause for rage clicks without the usage of the session replay tool.
Join us as we explore LogRocket with Zack and Nikki:
Why they chose it over other products
* How long it takes to implement
* Use cases where they use session replay
* The benefits of using LogRocket compared with other product analytics tools
* How the engineers are using it too
* How it handles security and compliance
* Other features available in LogRocket and who uses them
* Features they love and those that could be improved
Using LogRocket to inform the direction of growth experiments
* How to justify to the business to get the product
* How many electric guitars does Zach own?
* And so much more…

Today we cover HotJar, one of the first session replay products we experienced in our product career. John is using it at two of the companies he founded, Path 2 Product and Repo.

Join us as we explore HotJar with John:
- Use cases where he uses session replay
- Deep dive into security related concerns in session replay products
- How to approach users that we know have a problem, without making them feel like we are creeping on them

21 AUG 2024 · We continue our Session Replay series with the next product, FullStory. To learn about it, we invited Mandar Karlekar to return to the pod all the way from Australia. Last time we talked with Mandar in Episode 72, when we learned about Loom for async communication. Even back then we learned how much Mandar loves FullStory, so we were sure to invite him again to tell us all about it.
FullStory started as a Session Replay platform, with a unique functionality - creating insights from multiple sessions. Mandar shared many reasons he likes the product, such as its simple and intuitive user experience, the fast time to value, how easy it is to implement, and how valuable it is to all business units.
Join us as we explore FullStory with Mandar:
- Where he utilizes FullStory with his clients
- Many of the values created by using the platform such as:
- Enabling teams and orgs to intimately understand customers pain points and needs at scale
- Bundling up insights across the user journey
- Bringing teams together to realize the impact they built and where things should be improved
- The integrations available between FullStory and other platforms
- The value of getting analytics from session recordings which record everything, rather than by setting it up manually
- The AI powers that are included in the platform
- How FullStory handles security, personal information safety, and any specific security needs of clients
- Best features that he likes, and areas to improve
- Usage in B2C and B2B products

7 AUG 2024 · The first product we cover in the Session Replay series is PostHog. To learn about it, we invited Vincent Pavero, Co-Founder, CEO at Homeric and Product Coach & Advisor at Vincent.pm. PostHog is the first open source product we are covering on the podcast, which is an interesting point in itself, and we wondered aloud on the show why there aren’t more open source products for product people.
PostHog is not just a Session Replay platform, as it also supports product analytics, surveys, feature flags, A/B testing and more! Vincent loves it for this reason, as he has replaced 7 tools that he used previously by PostHog!
We did focus our discussion on the show on Session Replay, and its strengths in PostHog. This includes the basic features: access and playback of user’s sessions, filter to find sessions, anonymous vs signed in users, skipping inactivity periods, overlay with features, heat map, rich-click detector, a band on the screen to show where they go lowest, sharing and exporting recordings, etc. Being geared mainly to product engineers, PostHog has additional features such as an inspector to see what happens in the browser (front end), and all the code that the browser is interacting with the back end.
Join us as we explore with Vincent:
- How did he get to product
- Reasons to use a product like PostHog, and specifically session replay
- Product analytics that goes beyond session recordings
- The pros and cons of using an open source product in our sector
- Security measures for sensitive data
- Can AI create value in session replay?
- The importance of simplicity and consistency
- PostHog perspective on their role in helping users analyze their product data
- Areas that can be improved in PostHog
- Deep understanding by PostHog of their users, as evident in their website and all documentation materials
- And so much more…

10 JUL 2024 · Is the MVP where we should stop at understanding whether we have a good direction to go with our product idea? Probably not.
Join us to the latest episode, where Matt and Moshe have met with Anat Eldar, Product Leadership Consultant, as she goes through her Net Adoption Threshold (NAT) framework.
Drawing from her extensive product management roles at companies such as Amdocs, Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo and Taboola, as well as from her teaching at the Reichman University, Anat had developed NAT to help product managers and organizations understand not only what the value they create, but also whether it is greater than the costs (both sunk and switching costs) and the current solution’s value.
Join us as we learn from Anat:
- How did she get to product
- What is the Net Adoption Threshold (NAT) framework
- Who is it for and how they use it
- Does it fit all types of products and situations?
- Does it work well with other frameworks or does it replace them?
- The breakdown of the NAT formula: New Solution Value - (Sunk Costs + Switching Costs) > Current Solution Value
- How do we quantify each of these?
- What is the most important thing to quantify in this process?
- Some pitfalls when startups attempt to implement the NAT framework and how to avoid them
- How often should they assess the NAT if things are changing?
- How to start adopting NAT right away
- And much more!
