Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth

Lenny Rachitsky spent years as a product lead at Airbnb before launching his newsletter and podcast, and that hands-on experience shows in every episode. With over 336 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from 1,370 reviews on Apple Podcasts, this has become one of the most trusted resources for people building products and companies. The format is long-form interviews, typically running 80 to 100 minutes. Lenny brings on product leaders, founders, and growth experts from companies like Webflow, Slack, Figma, and Notion. Recent guests include Simon Willison discussing AI's inflection point and Jessica Fain on the art of influence. The conversations go deep on specific, practical topics: how to run effective product reviews, when to pivot your go-to-market strategy, how to negotiate compensation, and what actually drives user retention. What sets Lenny apart is his preparation. He comes into each interview with detailed research and pointed questions, which means guests end up sharing tactical advice they have not given elsewhere. He is particularly strong on product-market fit, growth loops, and the messy realities of scaling a startup from zero to one. The show skews toward tech and SaaS, but the lessons on building something people want, hiring your first team, and making tough product decisions apply to anyone starting a business. If you want specific frameworks and real stories instead of generic motivation, this is your show.
