Crazy to realize that I’m coming up on 15 years of working in product now. Reflecting on my journey, I asked myself, “if there was one thing I could tell young Nick to get better at, what would that be?”

I’d tell that chipper, starry-eyed Nick: “get really good at cross-disciplinary collaboration”.

What I’ve seen separate the best teams from the rest is strong collaboration, communication, and technical literacy. My most effective and favorite teammates haven’t just been excellent at their own craft–they’ve understood all the product disciplines enough to connect the dots, translate between them, and get everyone moving in the same direction.

On the flip side, I’ve seen so many product teams get trapped on a treadmill of misunderstandings, delays, and missed opportunities because they don’t understand how their cross-disciplinary teammates operate and think. I can’t even begin to put a price tag on all the failed initiatives, abandoned features, and shuttered companies that can be traced back to this single problem.

When I think about what I want to do with the next 15 years of my career, I want to help product professionals go farther by getting better at collaboration.

That’s why I’m so excited to share Technically Lit.

Through our podcast and channel, I’m going to be sharing how top product leaders and practitioners approach collaboration, with a special emphasis on technical literacy, so you can learn how to make smarter technical decisions, build better products, and collaborate more effectively without learning to code.

Big thank you to Josh Knell, Mitchell Wright, and Emiliano Villarreal for being our first of many guests! I learned so much from talking with them about product collaboration–y’all are going to love their episodes!

Just like PBS, we’re supported by viewers like you, so come check us out, subscribe, and share us with a friend.

Together, let’s get Technically Lit.
