As founders and builders, we spend so much time crafting our products, but communication precision is equally crucial, whether pitching investors, writing copy, or leading teams.
If you stay in product management long enough, you catch a specific virus: "Change the World Syndrome."
We preach disruptive innovation in our slides, justify billion-dollar TAMs in our weekly syncs, and sit in coffee shops scoffing at small tools for having "no competitive moat." We are trained to think high-level, to seek "underlying logic," to "empower industries."
This grand narrative is intoxicating. It feels like the confident declarations made after one too many drinks at 2 AM.
But the reality? Most of us are crushed by the Sunday grocery run long before we ever make a dent in the universe.
