Welcome to Grown Up Product, the podcast for founders who’ve figured out how to sell something and are now stuck figuring out how to scale it, for CEOs who feel like product is chaotic, slow, or unaccountable, and for VCs and PE firms watching their portfolio companies burn money instead of building real systems.
I’m Brian Root, a fractional Chief Product Officer with years of experience helping post-PMF tech companies scale without falling apart. Grown Up Product focuses on something I'm passionate about: how product orgs mature from reactive to strategic, from heroics to discipline. We’ll get into org design, prioritization, trust, roadmaps, and everything that separates companies that stall out from the ones that scale clean.
If your company is past PMF but not yet predictable, this is the podcast you’ve been looking for.
New episodes coming soon. Subscribe and stay tuned.
