I enjoy looking for patterns and making connections.
Right, wrong or indifferent, I sure do learn a lot when I dig.
This short thread is a compilation of my findings from a "Big Red" rabbit hole....
💠Celebrated 100th anniversary in 2017
💠Oldest continuously serving division in the US Army
💠The Big Red One had many roles that helped shape the country's history
The First Division Monument sits on a plaza in President's Park, Washington, D.C., west of the White House at the corner of 17th Street and State Place, NW.
SEVENTEENTH STREET.
(Looks like Michael the Archangel to me)
Described as an allegorical figure of victory clutching a flag in one hand & with the other, pronounces a benediction on 5,516 1st Division soldiers whose names are inscribed at the base. https://t.co/W52tmziabY

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
