Peter Sellis argues that high-performing product organizations rely on ideological alignment, clear decision ownership, and room for unusually strong talent to operate differently. He examines why the median PM may underperform, why Snapchat struggled to monetize despite an exceptional consumer product portfolio, and why sustainable growth usually comes from serving core users better. The conversation also covers product taste as disciplined curation, trust-based advertising, ambitious long-term bets, the Core Product Value framework, and the productive contradictions great PMs must hold together.
