My guest today is my friend Carlo Mahfouz. He's the Vice President of Strategic Technology Partnerships at Laerdal Medical and the author of the book Reality Check. 

Carlo is such a well-articulated thinker. I love how he breaks things down and I really miss working with him. 

We talked about:

- How to become a better listener
- How to let go of your ego, and why this is key in great leadership
- How to foster collaboration between Engineering, Product and Design
- Why Engineers should be highly involved in Discovery and practical tips to foster that culture
- Why intense debate and “fighting” is a healthy sign of strong product teams
- Characteristics of great Tech Leads and differences between just a “senior” engineer
- Dangerous false assumptions that Product tends to make about engineering
- The impact of AI in society
- And more

Carlo is writing his new book “The Culture of Why and the Rise of AI” and you can follow his journey here, so you don’t miss out!
