## Resource

Today’s episode Most PMs start every day like this. Open the calendar. Open the CRM. Open Slack. Open the meeting notes. Open LinkedIn. Piece together what matters. Lose 30 minutes before real work even starts. That is not how the best PMs are working anymore. The best PMs are running one command in the morning and getting everything they need in five minutes. Their calendar, their deals, their market intel, their career gaps, all pulled together automatically. That shift is what today’s episode is about. I sat down with Dave Killeen, Field CPO at Pendo.io. He has worked at BBC, Mail Online, and now runs the field product function at one of the largest product management platforms in the world. He has 25 years in product. Over the last few months, he built a full personal operating system called DEX in Claude Code, open sourced it on GitHub, and it is getting serious traction. In this conversation, Dave walks through his entire system live on screen. You will see how he runs a daily plan, creates PRDs from a backlog, manages parallel workstreams on a Kanban board, and tracks his career goals, all from one terminal window. And you will learn the three building blocks that make it all work. ---- Check out the conversation on Apple , Spotify and YouTube .
