Here’s the thing most people don’t realise — when I work on projects that GIVE me energy, working long hours is actually sustainable and not as bad as one would think.
Met my wife in 2017
First date in 2018
Engaged and married in 2019
Blessed by and thankful for very moment, and so looking forward to our wonderful future.
What’s your story so far?
I gave a talk at
@PMMalliance

entitled “The Assertive Edge: is this the solution for Product Marketing success?” and the answer is YES!
Being liked cross-functionally is important - however, setting boundaries in order to do great work is even more-so for long-term success.
For my final post of the year, I want to say how much I’ve appreciated 2023 and everything I’ve learnt.
It has been a truly humbling and gratifying year — I look forward to the next. Onwards and upwards my friends. ✨
You have ENERGY, use it.
Work your ass off. Your 20s are not the time to be slacking. Take risks, work harder and longer than others. Test and keep trying stuff until something works out, whether professionally or personally. Energy is a given in your 20s, less so in your 30s.
My life is so fucked now that I’ve learnt about a 1969 Pontiac LeMans. 😍
I’ve never felt love like it. I would pay good money to go insane speeds in this whilst wearing a cowboy hat.
ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve launched a Product Marketing YouTube channel! 😃🎉🥳
I will be distilling Product Marketing intel into easy to learn videos.

Last night my choir and I sang to a sold out theatre show in London! 🎤🎭
We learnt 80 pages of notes in only a few weeks! My recent burnout is starting to make sense ey lol
Being nice has the highest ROI.
You’re remembered.
People advocate for you.
You’re someone others want to be around.
It’s not just about WHAT you know.
It’s about WHO you are, and HOW you behave.
Be kind. Be nice.
Be a decent human being.
The ROI is limitless.
Thank you for a great six weeks of improv comedy classes

I learnt and laughed a lot, and even wrote some reflections down on LinkedIn:
My first YouTube video is now live! 🎉🥳

I’m just born to be a disruptor. A rebel. Someone who looks at the system and says “Fuck this inequality. I’m changing it.” and MAN is it fun in the process.
I am loving life right now.
Long may it last.

I’m on a meeting and someone in my company just referred to “a concept they read somewhere” and my manager goes “I know whose LinkedIn post you’ve read!!”
IT WAS MY CONCEPT THEY REFERRED FROM ONE OF MY LINKEDIN POSTS LOL ngl that was cool as hell to happen 😃
Product Marketing is not a silver bullet for your issues.
Product adoption issues? Low leads? High churn? And NOW, and only NOW you want to hire a PMM?
Read on for why a PMM should be hired as a preventative method.

A kind PSA: you cannot replicate talking as much shit as
@ken_wheeler
without being EXCEEDINGLY good at your job.
He has put in the years and mastered his craft to such a high degree that there are no repercussions. But there may be for you, so heed this warning. Do the work. 🤝

@kentcdodds
How does he go from course ideation through to execution so fast, and what steps are involved? A step by step answer would be awesome. Thanks mate
Here’s a recommendation — use that money to hire a therapist to heal that bit inside you that tells you you ain’t worthy, so you stop spending on things that don’t matter. ✌️
I’m always surprised when I see Americans in tech complaining about money or being in debt.
Bro, you get paid $220k a year for working on a feature that will never be used.
You should be saving as much cash as you can.
Don't let toxic coworkers stop you from asking questions.
An emotional and cautionary tale every Product Marketer should read...

Let's talk about last night. 🥹❤️
I organised a London meet-up for PMMs and PMs and it was so much fun!

I transitioned from caffeinated coffee to two years worth of decaf only at home and caffeinated when outdoors, then down to decaf only for three months to stopping entirely.
That step by step process worked on me so I could adjust quickly and not feel any drop in energy.
Strategic vs Tactical deliverables. ♟️
In order to be a well respected Product Marketing Manager, mastering the art of balancing strategic and tactical deliverables is non-negotiable.

You ever posted on LinkedIn on a SUNDAY expecting no one but maybe a handful of people to read it because it’s a SUNDAY but instead it blows up in the most supportive of ways, but now you’re reliving everything again, and it’s a little overwhelming???
Yeah no me neither.
It's tough to be a founding Product Marketer in a startup. I'd know. I've been there.
The trick is to:
✅ Learn fast.
✅ Fail fast.
✅ Correct fast.
No more perfectionism. I break it down in to more detail below.

Woke up at 5am today, and watched an insane light show called a sunrise between 6 and 7am. You may know it.
It was genuinely stunning - such an insane array of blues. Totally worth it.
