Show Notes
As part of our ongoing effort to equip product professionals with the best frameworks and resources, this episode takes a different turn. Moshe steps up as the main speaker to introduce the Product Manager Toolkit, a comprehensive framework he created to help product managers select and implement tools more efficiently and strategically.
On the show, Moshe walks Matt through the toolkit live using Miro, highlighting how it’s designed around the very principles they’ve discussed with guests throughout the history of the podcast. Now published as a template in Miroverse (with nearly 1,000 views and 44 copies!), the toolkit is freely available for product people everywhere.
Moshe shares its origin, core components, and how it’s become a valuable resource for teams mapping out their needs in today’s dynamic product landscape.

More from Product for Product Management
After a full series exploring what product managers should retain, and rethink, in the age of AI, Matt and Moshe sit down for an honest wrap-up. What did we learn, what changed our minds, and where do humans still matter most?
When AI can summarize meetings, draft updates, and even recommend priorities, what remains uniquely human about stakeholder alignment? In this episode, product coach and advisor Joy Adamson joins Matt and Moshe to explore why alignment is still one of the most essential, and most human, parts of a product manager’s work.
We’re back with a familiar voice on the podcast: John Fontenot returns to continue our *First Principles for PMs in the Age of AI* series, this time focused on Vision and Strategy. In a conversation that blends product thinking, personal reflection, and a healthy dose of AI skepticism, John helps us explore what it really means for PMs to define where they’re going, and how to get there.
We’re continuing our new series on "First Principles for PMs in the Age of AI" with a conversation about two things AI can support, but not replace: human judgment and empathy. In this episode, Rebecca Douglas joins Matt and Moshe to unpack why these skills matter even more as product teams lean harder on AI tools.
We’re kicking off a new series with a very timely question: what does product management look like in the age of AI? In this first episode, Matt and Moshe set the stage for *First Principles and Beyond for Product Managers in the Age of AI*, exploring how PM work is changing, what should stay human, and where AI can genuinely help.
