Director of Product at Google and executive career coach Tom Leung interviews other Product leaders and asks them questions about pretty much everything from career progression, OKRs, execution, and delivering results in both large and small orgs. New videos release every 2 weeks.

Tom is a former manager of mine and is a super empathetic and experienced Product leader. The content so far is great - he gets over an hour with former Google PMs turned CEOs, asking them lots of great questions about everything product-related. The channel is relatively low traffic so far and he's mainly marketing it from his LinkedIn connections so its a great gem IMO.

Product managers require a diverse set of skills to excel at their role, including design, technical, analytical, communication, and more. Yet there is one skill that I find is often underrated but critical for the success of a product manager. And that is the skill of influence without authority.
