We don’t always have time to read a book cover to cover. Sometimes we don’t want to hassle a colleague or pick up the phone to a mentor either. There are times when we just need a reminder or a quick burst of inspiration to nudge us in the right direction.

To compliment my series of book recommendations for Product People below are my top ten videos for those looking for rapid inspiration. I was lucky enough to be an in-person member of the audience for a few of these and routinely watch them again when I’m starting out on something new. Some lean towards Product Management, some Product Design, and some Leadership. I hope you enjoy.
