My guest today is Joao Moita, founder of Product Weekend, a company organising in-person weekend events for Product Managers to connect & learn together.
He’s…
Within just 2 years… went from first job as a product manager at a startup to a PM consulting agency to quitting to quit & go full-time on his new business
Bootstrapped Product Weekend by himself to now running events across Europe (& soon the US)
Helps curate the Productized conference in Lisbon
He is also A Trained Aerospace Engineer
His company also, in my view, goes against convention (who would have thought product managers would want to give up their weekend & travel in-person in a remote world?!)
Expect to learn…
- How swimming against a trend can uncover great business opportunities
- Why you don’t need a decade of product experience to start your own business
- Key learnings building a business from zero to profitability with zero investment
I was looking forward to this one, as have connected with Joao a few times before & found his story very inspiring.
