A Farewell to AnotherPMday Product Leadership Edition

I quit my day job. I’m moving on.

Today’s issue is bittersweet. This is my final deep dive into pure product leadership.

Over the last two years, we’ve built frameworks, war stories, and muscle memory for shipping with clarity and confidence.

Along the way, I’ve seen you:

1. Master the “Why” Muscle : Turning vague roadmaps into unmissable narratives.

2. Navigate Upside‑Down Priorities:  When the CEO pivots mid‑sprint, you brought strategy back to the table.

3. Scale Influence, Not Just Features: You moved from task‑completion to team‑transformation.

Thank you for every comment, question, and late‑night DM. Your curiosity sharpened my thinking. And I hope I sharpened yours.

Why I’m Pivoting to AI Automation for Sales & Marketing

Just as product leadership taught me to find the right problems for users, AI agentic automation is teaching me to discover entirely new problem spaces for SMBs.

So I launched RisingFlow AI to reach my own North Star!

Over the past six months, I’ve dabbled at solving issues with business owners in my network and wiring up AI agents that help my own customers with:

• Auto‑triage support tickets and reply with human‑grade empathy.

• Auto create SEO ready blog posts on steroids.

• Spin up hyper-personalized cold outreach automation from nothing.

The more I dug in, the more I realized: today’s most strategic lever is not just about feature velocity, it’s building and automating workflows end‑to‑end across sales and marketing to support 70% of the world’s business layer - aka SMB owners.

And I want to bring you along. Here’s what I started to pivot:

3 Ways You Can Start Automating Today

1. Identify Your First “Mini‑Bot”
   Pick a repetitive task (e.g. weekly report emails) and prototype a ChatGPT or Zapier flow to handle it.

2. Embed AI in Your Standups
   Use a simple LLM agent to summarize yesterday’s blockers and draft today’s agenda in the product Slack channel.

3. Turn Spreadsheets into APIs
   With tools like Parabola or SheetAI, expose key KPIs as data endpoints for dashboards or user feedback alerts.

Try one this week, then reply and tell me what worked (or what exploded). Your stories will shape future issues.

What’s Next & How You Can Shape It

I do not know what things will look like, but one thing is sure.

I will create another landing page for my newsletter.

I will share:

• Stories about my journey to entrepreneurship

• Insights about my customer engagement

• Step-by-step guide on how to build AI agentic tools

• AI founder interviews, AI Product frameworks and tools

• And many more

THANK YOU AGAIN for your patience as I make the transition and for joining me on this journey.

Product leadership will always be in my DNA, and I will apply everything learned, and I can’t wait to ‘build’

Cheers,

Until next time,

Get 1% Better Every Day. Execution Matters Most!
