Recorded Conversations
Recorded Conversations Oct 6, 2026 1091 We now record almost everything — every meeting has an AI note-taker, and some people wear glasses that capture every word.

Teresa shares how checking her own Granola transcripts revealed she'd been m
Unpacking Innovation

Facilitation Skills
Facilitation Skills Sep 8, 2026 1133 Conflict on a product team isn't a warning sign — the absence of it usually is. In this episode of All Things Product, Petra Wille and Teresa Torres tackle a question Teresa hears constantly: what should a product trio do when collaboration breaks down and disagreement turns into friction? Petra makes the case for something many teams quietly abandoned — the retrospective — and argues that facil
Quality Of Evidence
Quality Of Evidence Jul 14, 2026 1022 You've got behavioral analytics, support tickets, sales call notes, and a feedback inbox that never empties. With all that data coming in, do product teams actually still need to go out and talk to users? In this episode, Petra Wille and Teresa Torres dig into why not all product evidence is created equal — and why the type of data you collect matters just as much as the volume. Teresa introduces

Learning Together
Learning Together Jun 9, 2026 1043 What's the best way to invest in your team's professional development — train everyone at once, let people self-direct, or something in between?
