Your biggest C-suite allies aren't who you think they are. Most product leaders spend all their time building relationships with engineering and design. That's important, but it's not where you'll find your strongest advocates when it matters most. In our recent Supra Insider

I've noticed the AI conversation in product shifting over the last 18 months. We went from "product management is dead" to Andrew Ng at YC talking about changing engineer-to-PM ratios in the complete opposite direction. The pendulum has swung hard. In our recent Supra Insider

A Supra member told me something recently that blew my mind: "In the last year and a half, not once has our group been stumped by a problem that one of us brought to the table." 18 months. Zero unsolved problems. Here's why I think this happens: When someone brings up

I'm tracking which enterprise companies are launching MCP servers first. It's becoming a reliable predictor of who thinks strategically vs. defensively about AI. But first, let me explain what we're actually talking about: MCPs (Model Context Protocol) have two sides: ↳ MCP

Most people are still sleeping on NotebookLM. The fact that you can take any dense content and create an engaging podcast or video out of it feels like a superpower. I'm jealous of college kids right now. They have access to tools that can turn the most dense (or technical)

Most PMs waste 5 hours a week on QA. And before you say "not me, we have QA engineers" - be honest about all the times you're personally clicking through staging to verify that button actually works. I used to do this at Asana. We'd literally get 10 people in a room the day
