Description

Productly Speaking is a podcast about the human side of product management.

Hosted by Karl Abbott, the show features candid, story-first conversations with product managers and builders about what the work actually asks of people when things get complicated. Episodes explore judgment, trust, listening, uncertainty, and the emotional reality behind decisions that rarely make it into playbooks or conference talks.

This is not a podcast about frameworks or optimization. It’s a space to reflect on how real people navigate product work when clarity is limited and responsibility is real.
