This is a space where product people come together to talk honestly about the work, the challenges, and everything in between. We share stories from our own journeys and from others in the product world. The moments that felt uncertain, the lessons that stuck, and the shifts that changed how we think and build. Product Pals is also a community. A place to feel supported, to learn from each other, and to remember that you are not navigating this alone. Whether you are experienced, just getting started, or somewhere in the middle, you are very welcome here. ☕️🍵🧋","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/product-pals-7068925"},"episode":{"title":"PM Spotlight: Ryan Huynh's Journey from Data & AI, Consulting to Product, Exploring The Art of Better Decisions","slug":"pm-spotlight-ryan-huynh-s-journey-from-data-ai-consulting-to-product-exploring-the-art-of-better-decisions","published_at":"2025-09-14T20:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/product-pals-7068925/pm-spotlight-ryan-huynh-s-journey-from-data-ai-consulting-to-product-exploring-the-art-of-better-decisions","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/product-pals-7068925","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/productpals/episodes/PM-Spotlight-Ryan-Huynhs-Journey-from-Data--AI--Consulting-to-Product--Exploring-The-Art-of-Better-Decisions-e37sp5g","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f6dae0ac/podcast/play/107946608/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-8-12%2F407393236-44100-2-0d7002d678d08.mp3","summary":"In this episode of the Product Pals Podcast , Charlotte and Kiet sit down with Ryan Huynh — Product Manager and co-organiser of ProductTank Sydney.
