The Way of Product with Caden Damiano
Caden Damiano
The Way of Product is a philosophy magazine disguised as a podcast. Every week I publish two conversations with people who build in technology and product. Each one comes with a narrative essay that puts you inside the conversation through my eyes — what surprised me, what I kept thinking about after we hung up, where the principle actually lives once you strip away the jargon.
I don't hand you the answer. I put you in the room and let you find it yourself. www.wayofproduct.com
