Recently, I’ve interviewed folks from the Australian Army, Navy, and Airforce. These people are taught to sense and react to danger before it occurs. They carry out tasks without having to use all of their senses. They have the physical and mental capacity to evaluate and react to danger on the battlefield.

The path to success in product management is not a straight line. PMs have diverse backgrounds, ambiguous responsibilities, and varied definitions of what their role includes. “Product” isn’t a major that can be studied in school, the role looks vastly different across industries, and many product managers don’t begin their careers in the field until they’ve amassed experience in other areas.

Once upon a time, if you wanted to create a new app or website and didn’t know how to code, you had few options: hire an expensive agency, scour the web for a decent freelancer, or learn to code. That meant investing a lot of your time or money, often without knowing if it would all be worth it. But nowadays, that’s not the case. What if I told you that you can build almost any type of app or website yourself, without breaking the bank and without writing a single line of code?

But the rungs in between can often be quite flimsy.
