👋 Hey, Lenny here! Welcome to this month’s ✨ free edition ✨ of my weekly newsletter. Each week I humbly tackle reader questions about product, growth, working with humans, and anything else that’s stressing you out at the office. Subscribe to get this newsletter every week 👇

Q: I recently discovered your newsletter, and I’m finding it hard to browse your posts. Is there someplace I can find your best stuff, ideally grouped by topic?

3. 🦸‍♀️ Product management, the career

4. 🔭 Finding product-market fit

5. 📣 Marketing and GTM

6. 🌱 Scaling your startup

7. 🎭 Marketplaces

8. 📊 Metrics

9. 💼 Management and career
