The Product Podcast

The Product Podcast is a long-running interview series where host Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia, CEO of Product School, sits down with one senior product executive per episode. Guests are typically Chief Product Officers or VPs of Product at large, recognizable companies, including recent conversations with leaders from TelevisaUnivision's VIX streaming service, TikTok, Shopify, Etsy, and Statsig (whose CEO previously ran entertainment product at Facebook). Each episode is built around the guest's own company and current work, so the throughline is a specific product problem: launching a streaming catalog in nine months, building AI-first workflows into an e-commerce platform, running a marketplace with millions of sellers, or embedding social commerce into a video feed. Recurring themes across episodes include applying AI and large language models to product work (metadata enrichment, MCP servers, AI-generated creative), product organization and team structure (squad models, PM-to-engineer ratios, span-of-control rules), product-led growth and experimentation, and marketplace or platform dynamics involving supply, demand, and discovery. Episodes are structured as one-on-one conversations of roughly 35 to 55 minutes, with the host asking about background, specific product decisions, and lessons for other product leaders. The show benefits VPs, directors, and product managers who want operational detail from named executives rather than abstract frameworks. Company names, metrics, and concrete examples (valuations, user counts, GMV figures) are a consistent feature of the discussions. Production is conversational and unscripted in tone, with light sponsor mentions inserted around the interview. There is no indication of a panel or narrative format; every sampled episode is a single-guest interview tied to one company.
