In this episode, Mamuna and Lola unpack the new expectations for builders in the era of layoffs, lean teams, and AI-enhanced tooling. Spoiler: you can’t afford to say “that’s not my job” anymore.

We break down:

This episode is a wake-up call and a pep talk. The bar is high — but the tools are everywhere. The question is: are you learning how to use them?

👀 Whether you're a new grad or a seasoned product leader, if you're trying to stay sharp and stay relevant — this one's for you.
