Wow! It looks like lots of #product community are trying out @Mastodon - welcome! 👋

For those of you who are looking for alternative socials, or even just a backup in case, follow me on Mastodon.

I'm out of a negative employer and moving to a very positive one, so hope my posts on #Product and life get more positive in the near future!

Me and all the product leaders:
"If your product isn't selling, you don't have a problem with your tech, you have a problem with your product."

Companies: "If I could add some AI/crypto/metaverse, we'd be the next big thing!"

Me and everyone else: 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️
