  • Redefining Education: The Power of Collaboration and Communication

    Redefining Education: The Power of Collaboration and Communication
    Dec 31 2025

    Imagine an education that emphasizes collaboration and communication, rather than just memorizing facts and figures. Sounds radical, doesn't it? In this provocative discussion, we challenge traditional education norms and question if they are really equipping us with the skills needed to excel in today's professional landscape.

    We reveal the cornerstone skills that have played an instrumental role in our own professional journeys: collaboration and communication. We're not just talking about career success here, we're talking about creating work that has a lasting impact on the world. Join us as we share our hopes for our children's education, urging a shift in focus from defined career goals to nurturing these crucial life skills. This is an episode that might just make you rethink what 'education' truly means. It's time to tune in!

  • Balancing the Scales: Gender Diversity and Product Management Insights with Twitter's Former VP of Design, Mike Davidson

    Balancing the Scales: Gender Diversity and Product Management Insights with Twitter's Former VP of Design, Mike Davidson
    Dec 31 2025
    Making a change here test test. Ever wonder what it takes to truly balance the scales of gender diversity within a tech company? Mike Davidson, former VP of Design at Twitter, will take you through his remarkable journey of successfully transforming the male-dominated Twitter's gender ratio from a stark 80-20 to a balanced 50-50 within a year. Together, we'll explore the ins and outs of product management, the good, the bad, and the challenges it presents.

    Our conversation delves into the intriguing facets of improving diversity and revamping hiring practices at Twitter. We shed light on the strategies employed to foster a culture of diversity that avoided the negative "us versus them" vibes. With a critical eye, we examine how the traditional word-of-mouth hiring can cultivate privilege and propose a thought-provoking idea of making it mandatory for teenagers to clock hours in minimum wage service industry jobs. In that context, we also delve into the unique Twitter rule that promotes maintaining employees in roles best suited to their abilities, reflecting on how it sidesteps the issue of employees feeling forced to abandon their expertise for advancement.

    Rounding off, Mike shares invaluable insights into team well-being, decision-making, and the intersection of these aspects with product iteration in the Bay Area. We discuss the importance of judging the quality of decision-making over outcomes and the pitfalls of data-based conclusions. Hear from Mike, how maintaining a motivated and cheerful team is the secret sauce to successful iteration and product launching. Join us for an insightful journey into the world of gender diversity, product management, and team well-being. It's a conversation you won't want to miss!
