PBC #48: How to be a Product Leader — SCOTT BELSKY
Episode description
Jonathan interviews Scott Belsky, founder of Behance and currently Adobe’s Chief Product Officer and Executive Vice President of Creative Cloud, and only asks him questions that were sent in by you, the listener! Just kidding, Jonathan selfishly asks Scott questions about building a business and about leadership, because those are the ones most relevant to Jonathan’s current role as a CEO. But he does throw in a product question at the end. So there’s at least one question for everyone! 😝
Here’s how the interview goes in broad strokes:
