Tired of pretending you're doing discovery when really, you're just guessing? In this episode, we step into The Experiment Product Garage with Chantal Botana and Maurice McGinley for a real talk on what discovery actually means — and why it’s so often misunderstood.

This isn’t about running a full-blown design sprint on day one. It's about finding the next right step in your product practice — and doing it in a low-stakes environment where you can observe, experiment, and learn.

💡 You’ll hear:

• Why “Discovery Theatre” is holding your team back
• How to challenge assumptions with users, not in a vacuum
• The value of practicing product outside your daily work
• A better way to onboard your team into true discovery habits

Product is a practice. It’s a team sport. And you don’t need permission to get better at your job — just a garage, some guidance, and a willingness to try.

Frances became a household name in 2021 when she blew the whistle on Facebook for the prioritization of profits over user safety.

And guess what... she is a PRODUCT MANAGER!

We got to ask her about her pathway into Product Management, what it was like working at Facebook when these practices were happening, and how she got the courage to speak up for what is right.

We also got to talk about the future of AI and how we can be at the forefront of it.

This is a MUST WATCH for anyone who is interested in the future of technology and how it can be created ethically.
