Josh is such an earnest, genuine and humble human, and it was such a pleasure getting to learn from him.

I fell in love with this product as soon as I started using it and wanted to get a glimpse into how Josh and his team approached the craft of product.

Welcome to Lenny's podcast, where I interview world-class product leaders and growth experts to learn from their hard one experiences building and growing today's most successful products. You give them a very exciting, ambitious product and get out of their way and they will do remarkable work. If you have a team that has heartfelt intensity and is there for a purpose and something to prove, you get it. And I think even relative to everything else, I'm going to say, that's it. Everyone has something, but they show up with this heartfelt intensity. For other people, it may be achieving double the performance with a quarter of the engineering headcount.
