Hey PM leader! Take a moment to introduce yourself to the community. First, make sure your profile has a professional photo and a short description so others can quickly see who you are and what you do. Next, share a bit about yourself — your current role, product focus, and what you’re hoping to gain or contribute here. The goal isn’t to pitch — it’s to connect with peers, share insights, and build relationships that help you grow as a strategic product leader. Let me lead by example 👇 My name is Josh Atlas, and I’m the founder of the Product Management Circle Mastermind. Over the past 15 years, I’ve led product strategy and innovation across industries like fintech, e-commerce, AI/ML, and digital marketing — from global teams at Meta, Google Nest, and Walmart to startups like Vivid Labs and GoodLeap. I started PMC to create a space where experienced PMs can step beyond execution — to think more strategically, ask sharper questions, and lead with clarity and confidence. This community exists to help you connect, trade experiences, and strengthen your leadership toolkit together.

My manager although the director of PM does not think I am a PM. I have been reduced to doing BA work. It’s frustrating. It’s scary because I am being judged on doing something someone else should be doing. So I shifted. I started doing the work then asking the BA..,how would you handle this? Mind blown. Mind burned out. I have 90 hours of vacation time and I’m scared to take it. How do I shift this?
