I’m Ángel, your somewhat accidental guide on this journey of merging the ancient wisdom of Stoicism with the roller-coaster ride that is product management.

So welcome to "The Stoic Product Manager" - a place where we laugh in the face of chaos and embrace the art of living well in the high-demand world of technology!

Yeah, I know:

Why would anyone blend Business and Stoicism in one place? My answer would be something like: Well, why not?

Because, quite frankly, I haven’t found a very good reason — yet!

So, what is this place?

I am not a Product Guru. Nor am I a seasoned Philosopher. Therefore:

❌ This isn’t another typical Product Management masterclass where I’ll unveil mind-blowing frameworks.

❌ This isn’t a coaching blueprint to live a flawless life.

But,

🧙🏻‍♂️ It is a bumpy Journey of stories, hard truths, and a fresh perspective on my own struggle to become not just a better product manager but a virtuoso of the art of living.

My mission? To share some learnings, provoke thoughts, and maybe, just maybe, be a bit polemic.

Because what's the fun in philosophizing if you can't ruffle a few feathers?
