On this episode, Caroline Albanese, Director of Data Products and Capabilities at Dow Jones, explores the role of product advocacy. She shares her strategy for advancing data products, emphasizing the need for effective communication and the value these products bring to both organizations and the broader audience.
We discuss:
- What product advocacy is and why it's important for the success of a product.
- How to clearly show the value of data products to people inside and outside the company.
- Tackling the challenges that come with advocating for new products.
- Using feedback from users to make better products.
- Working together with other teams to make sure a product does well.
- Using stories to make data products interesting to everyone, not just experts.
- The need to think about user privacy and following the rules when creating products.
- Staying up-to-date with new trends and technologies in data products.
Caroline says:
”Product advocacy is basically being able to defend your product decisions or the product manager. Defending why the product is what it is, who it's there for, and how you are measuring success over time with a product. I think oftentimes when people are talking about product development or product development cycles, they're hyper-focused on the beginning stages and launching, and then once the product's actually out in the world, it's don't worry, it's on, but there's so much more that goes into that. And I think that's really what product advocacy shines.”

On this episode, Travis Boudreaux, Co-Founder and CTO of Azra Games, joins us. Travis shares insights into how Azur Games is leveraging AI to create content for their games, specifically focusing on concept art and storytelling. He emphasizes the importance of asking good questions and iterating on ideas when working with AI models. Travis also highlights the need for companies to embrace the innovator’s dilemma and disrupt themselves by adopting AI technologies.
We discuss:
- How AI tools accelerate the development process and reduce costs.
- Leveraging off-the-shelf AI tools before trying to build one.
- Why AI creates a tighter feedback loop during development.
- Why Maximizing results from AI mainly comes down to the quality of the inputs you feed it.
- The importance of experimenting with AI in order to drive exponential results.
- Failing fast and learning faster while experimenting with AI.
- Advice for getting started with AI.
Travis says,
“The future is going to be different from what companies have built. And they are now faced with this dilemma of disrupting themselves or leaning into that. Time and time again, we’ve seen the landscape filled with the shadows and skeletons of former great companies that wither away, and people wonder what happened to those companies. Those are the companies who refuse to embrace the innovator’s dilemma and disrupt themselves. And my call to everyone is, if you look at yourself, as an individual or company, we all face an innovator’s dilemma when it comes to embracing AI. We must learn how to disrupt and augment ourselves with these tools and techniques that will give us higher-quality outputs.”

Our educational infrastructure is now at a point where it can effectively implement various new educational technology solutions and reap the benefits of doing so.
In this episode, Andrew Lippert, Chief Technology Officer at McGraw Hill, joins us to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and technical details of the educational technology solutions industry.
Andrew shares that when utilizing innovative technologies for educational solutions, they need to be leveraged appropriately and truly unlock new possibilities for learning. It's not enough to simply use the latest tech available; there needs to be a pragmatic function related to better learning outcomes.
Andrew also highlights the importance of pairing new educational technologies with exceptional content. The delivery method, technological capabilities, and curriculum all need to work together to create a personalized learning experience that can transcend previous educational models.
For this episode's "Majestyk Byte," Andrew says, "Technologists need to understand how technology can pragmatically solve real problems instead of focussing on technology for technology's sake. It's not just about creating a cool experience. You need to think about how you can make people more efficient. How can you use technology as transparently as possible so people can actually take advantage of what the technology is meant to do? It's important for us in the tech field to get out of our own way and really understand the problems we are trying to solve."

In this episode of the Product Builders podcast, we sit down with Anthony Carrozzo, Director of UX and Design at Newsday Media Group, to discuss his transition from print to digital design and the challenges he faced.
As a whole, Anthony says that digital design has many advantages over print, including more efficiency when updating designs, improved collaboration, and better color matching. However, he notes some challenges that digital designers face, including staying up to date on the latest technology and trends and needing to back up design ideas with actual data.
Anthony also brings up some important points about designers knowing how to code. He says designers who understand code can effectively communicate with other teams and better understand their challenges. But designers shouldn't let the development part of their brain get in the way of their creativity while designing.
For this episode's Majestyk Byte, Anthony provides some helpful advice: "In this new world of user experience, it's really important to pay attention to your own experience with digital products. Next time you download an app or visit a website, take note of your first impression, how they're introducing features, and how you react. This is important because you don't get that first impression when working on your own products. Analyzing things like this can bring helpful inspiration and new ideas to your creations."

The most powerful education systems should adapt to the learning needs of each student. Fortunately, educational platform innovations are making personalized education more accessible for students everywhere.
In this episode of the Product Builders podcast, Sunil Gunderia, Chief Innovation Officer, Head of Mastery & Adaptive Product at Age of Learning, sits down with us to discuss the importance of personalized education and how technology is increasing equity in education.
Sunil describes how Age of Leaning's research-backed education platform is ushering in a new way for students to accelerate their learning while growing confidence. Amidst a learning crisis, as we are experiencing now, it's never been more important for students to have access to engaging education platforms.
Sunil shares that the traditional model — measuring educational progress by the time spent learning — is dated. Instead, new education platforms will ensure progress by making sure every student masters the material they need to know.
For this episode's "Majestyk Byte," Sunil says, "It's vital for us to unlock the potential of learners because doing so unlocks the potential for all of humanity. How we teach and prepare students for the future has the biggest influence on the big picture outcomes of tomorrow."

For products to scale, attract new users, and retain users for the long run, you need to focus on growth product management.
In the new episode of the Product Builders podcast, we sit down with Kevin H. Sakamoto, Director of Product Management and Product Operations at Dollar Shave Club, to discuss how he approaches growth product management and how teams can improve their growth product management efforts.
Through Kevin’s experience working with Zappos, Target, and now Dollar Shave Club, he’s realized that every business should precisely define what growth product management means to them. Companies have different needs, and, based on their size and product offerings, a unique growth product management strategy will be required.
Kevin also highlights the importance of personalization in growth product management. Creating personalized experiences for users is becoming more challenging due to data privacy and cookie tracking concerns. However, there are still many ways to leverage content and other types of data to attract and retain users.

Implementing mobile DevOps is a must for development teams looking to improve efficiency and release more stable mobile products.
On this episode of the Product Builders podcast, Sean O'Shea, Founder of Majestyk Apps, describes mobile DevOps' importance and shares some valuable tips when getting started with mobile DevOps.
According to Sean, using mobile DevOps will help teams better coordinate and automate all the moving parts of the mobile development process. Mobile DevOps reduces silos within development teams and allows them to complete tasks in a more streamlined way.
Sean notes that though traditional DevOps and mobile DevOps are very similar in terms of methodology, the tools used in mobile DevOps are different. He also highlights the importance of using DevOps tools that are already hosted instead of building internal tools to reduce the time you spend supporting those internal tools.
Sean closes the episode by encouraging development teams to implement a mobile DevOps process as soon as possible. Doing so will allow them to build, test, release, and update mobile products much more quickly and improve their products' quality.
