Hi, my name is Darius and welcome to my channel. I hope to share with you insights and learnings I've encountered as a product manager in tech building ServiceNow products.

The developers behind SmythOS have done an amazing job with user experience. The interface is sleek and modern, but not at all overwhelming. It’s stable, secure, and fast - all the things you want from an OS. I can see this becoming a top choice for those looking for an alternative to mainstream systems.

Thanks for making this video. When I first was made aware of AI, ML, ChatGPT back in February of this year, it really piqued my interest to learn more about it so much that I enrolled in AI for Leaders.
Adding an additional comment to the concept of adjusting 'inputs' into your system, while research is still underway, there is also a body of work supporting the concept of a 'gut brain connection' and benefits found from pre/probiotics to maintain healthy gut biome and digestive health. Separate research also shows cold exposure can help improve dopamine levels and stress resilience to make your system more resilient.
Recently, there is great focus on bringing Product Management and Product Marketing closer together, as seen in organizations like Apple and Airbnb. Expect to see greater influence on GTM and positioning for product managers.

Hi Sayan, nice to hear from you. As a current student, I would focus on working on your own side projects showing that you can take an idea from concept to product. This could be a software site, app, or service. Also make sure your current studies aligns to the domain area where you want to work - for example do business technology / computer science if you want to be a product manager in software, or do engineering if you want to do it for a hardware product. Later, you can consider a masters in business (MBA) but its more important to focus on your current schooling and side projects. If you have an opportunity to find internships, that will provide valuable hands on experience. Try to get the internship at a company or in an industry you would like to work in later. Goodluck!

For those with mobility challenges and unable to walk/run throughout the day, a Oculus Quest can provide engaging workouts in seated positions through fitness apps like fitXR: amzn.to/3o4v1Vw Make sure to get good morning sunlight early on and limit the light from devices later on.
WHO are we doing it for --> Market Segmentation WHAT we are doing --> Product Specifications WHERE we are doing it --> Product Market Fit & Strategy WHEN are we delivering it --> Product Roadmap WHY are we doing things --> Product Vision More and more PMs are also expected to have analytical & data driven decision making including identifying product usage at page, feature, and path levels. It is important for pms to consider telemetry at the behavior level through tools like pendo & fullstory, as well as at the metric level via databases and visualizations in tools like tableau.
Lyrics by request: When it comes to Security, you should be CLINICALLY CYNICAL. Me? IM YOUR TYPICAL MYTHICAL FICTIONAL SPIRITUAL MIRACLE LYRICS INFALLIBLE ITSM INDIVIDUAL. Phishing: Email from a gmail named fred luddy ‘hey buddy! Can I have your ad im in a hurry? That’s Phishing Call from HR it’s a lady named katy who says I haven’t updated my SSN info lately? That’s Vishing Whats next? I get a text “this is the ceo I want you to be a hero just text me some info..” That’s Smishing Social Engineering: someone trying to get in with id unseen, late at night around nine fifteen outside regular routine, wearing a coca cola t shirt saying they need work on a machine to dispense more caffeine. Escort them to the front desk because things aren’t as they seem it could be a social engineer, know what I mean? Physical Security: Watch the door when you enter the workplace, you have to protect your coworker home base, Dont want someone to tailgate without permission for all you know they can be on an espionage mission Working Remotely: When working remotely keep your screen protected, Theres a shoulder surfer going undetected. When travelling keep your items directly on you Otherwise someone might steal its true, Just ask bharath dude Strong Password: Brute Force with Jack the Ripper, Dictionary big like the big dipper Perhaps ill run Cain and Able? otherwise blame my rainbow table You wana get the best of me? generally just use complexity, Technically you’ll stop the enemy entity computationally Secure Code: You need to make sure your code is secure and adheres to security, I mean it needs to be pristine no input sanitation impurity, You’ll be like Equifax paying the hacker tax - no duty free. For hackers it’ll be like taking candy from a baby Encryption: Black Hat Energy Emanating Endlessly Leveling in Life, Livin' to Leave a Legacy Time for the doctor to provide a prescription, a never ending subscription to data Encryption. Here’s a Verbal Description: take text and turn it into a code so hackers can’t read it, but proper parties have the right keys to see it. Call it a riddle, but it can’t be solved so you’ll be safe from a man in the middle. Security Incidents: SIR from Automated alert summary identifying vulnerability via NIST or 3rd party During Containment, Eradication, & Recovery, the BSM Map will provide cross functional luxury Mobile Devices: Your mobile device is under constant attack, bad actors trying to snoop & piggyback, Android and IOs are vulnerable to root kit, Keep your OS up to date before you take a hit Malware: Beware Malicious Software and stay suspicious, things like bugs, spyware, root kits, and Adware, for healthcare it’s a nightmare Ransomware will encrypt data across your devices and only offer the key for set prices, my advice is to pay otherwise the price rises. Trojan Horse looks normal but its worse, like a curse that will steal from your purse before the end of the verse by giving itself access to data like your address when your filing your taxes Worms replicate relentlessly like an endless sea going on endlessly, viruses are similar but spread manually
One more comment on breaking into pm - specific MBA / masters programs offer a specialization in product management. For many, adding this degree helps them make the pivot when they reapply for a pm position either to a new organization externally, or to a new position internally if they do the schooling part time. Another set of soft skills to call out is trust & relationship building, which is critical both internally and externally and why building your ethos with expertise and empathy is key. A final dimension to consider is that of what type of PM you want to be. There are different pm role types across core, platform, growth, technical/domain, and innovation with different focuses and competencies.
