Why I Talk Less About Product Now | Coffee with Eyal

Description

"Coffee with Eyal" is a short, informal series in which Eyal David opens the mic over a cup of coffee and shares insights, things he is building and what is on his mind. In the first episode, released on October 7th, 2026, three years after he started the podcast in the wake of October 7th, 2023, he answers a question many listeners ask: why the show no longer focuses mainly on product management. He explains that roles are being rewritten and product management playbooks are changing, that the best-performing episodes this year were about careers, entrepreneurship, practical AI, breaking into new markets and mental resilience, that he discovered how much he enjoys interviewing entrepreneurs (in the "Business from the Inside" series and with guests like Peter Paltchik and Alex Rif), and that the audience now includes entrepreneurs, marketers, CEOs and investors. The focus from here on: AI, career, entrepreneurship and business, with product all around it, including ourselves as a product. He talks about investing in video and social, asks listeners to share the show, and closes with a call to anyone who wants to start a business or go independent: start experimenting and building.
