When I was a Software Engineer, I had no idea Product Management even existed. Now I'm a BA actively transitioning to PM, and I wish someone had explained this to me in simple terms from the start.

In this episode, we break down what Product Management actually is - no jargon, no theory from a textbook, just real talk.

You'll learn:

- What PMs actually do all day (it's a lot of talking to people!)

- The three main responsibilities of a PM

- How PM is different from BA, Project Manager, Designer, and other roles

- Whether YOU can become a PM - spoiler: yes, regardless of your background

- Why PMs lead without direct authority (and what that actually means)

Perfect for:

→ Business Analysts wondering if PM is the next step

→ Software Engineers who are burned out from just coding

→ Anyone on a work visa, wondering if this career path is possible

→ People who Googled "what is product management" and got more confused

10 minutes. No fluff. Just practical advice you can use.
