90 minutes of unfiltered product advice from Snap and Discord’s product chief | Peter Sellis

Peter Sellis, former first PM at Snapchat and later head of product at Discord, argues that great teams need terrorist-organization-style clarity: a shared ideology plus clear decision rights, so people avoid over-collaborating. He explains why most product managers are mediocre by design, why Snap's young, camera-first, messaging-app nature made advertising unusually hard to monetize, and why sustainable growth comes from deepening daily engagement with a product's existing core users rather than chasing new markets.
