Want to transition into an AI Product Management role? How do you keep yourself updated on what’s happening in the AI community? What differentiates the top 5% and top 1% of PMs?

Listen to Episode 1 of Beyond the Grind, where Arushi Maheshwari (Host) sat down with Aakash Gupta—the Product Growth Newsletter guy—to find these answers. Aakash is one of the Top Linkedin voices (240k+ followers), and has led multiple product teams, from Apollo to Affirm to Epic Games, and is a Wharton MBA. He has also written over 180 product deep dives and nuanced product growth lessons, and he’s now helping the community learn about Product Management in AI.

About Beyond the Grind

I’ve always been fascinated by people’s career journeys—the experiences that shape them and who they become along the way. That’s how Beyond the Grind was born—a podcast where I sit down with professionals from product, investing, marketing, and beyond to learn from their journeys, tactically.

I’m learning through these conversations, and I’d love for you to be a part of this journey.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming in the next few weeks—stay tuned (ex-CEO of Airtel Digital, ex-Angellist Head, Deputy Dean and Professor at ISB, Founder - Climate Party, PM at Google).
