## Resource

There is a version of seniority in product management that looks like confidence. You have the answers. You know the domain. You've seen this pattern before. And then AI shows up and the confidence starts to feel like a trap. In this episode, I will share the personal pivot I didn't see coming — and the three beliefs I had to actively unlearn after two decades building products across consulting, media, data, fintech, and AI-powered marketplace risk. What You'll Hear Why a junior team member's overnight AI prototype exposed flaws in a requirements doc that two decades of experience had missed The shift from answer retrieval to question design — and why it changes every part of the PM job Why data fluency is no longer enough, and what actually replaces it The hardest belief to let go: that domain expertise is your most valuable asset
