Product Ownership

Figure it Out

Build stuff you're proud of. Own it. If there's a problem, figure it out. That sums up my philosophy on how to manage projects.

Ownership means you are invested in the outcome. It encompasses everything required to be successful, except maybe a bit of luck.

Working in small businesses, you end up wearing many hats. Despite my investment in college, everything useful I've learned has been from having to do something to solve a problem.
