Why I Wrote Achievement Unlocked

I've mentored hundreds of aspiring and current Product Managers over the last decade. And I found myself repeating a lot of the same advice.


So I wanted to codify it on paper and give them access to what I've learned on their own time. Product management as a craft is not well known outside a few niche industries, and I wanted to change that.


This book gives you an understanding of what PMs do, why it's important, how to make a product from scratch and scale it to billions of dollars, and how to actually get a job as a PM.


15 years of product experience in one place, everything I wish someone had told me when I started. Grab a copy and see for yourself!
