INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Have you ever looked at your career, your leadership, or even your marriage and thought, "On paper, this should be working... so why does it feel off?"
In this episode of the Life Engineering Podcast, I get to sit down with Radhika Dutt, author of Radical Product Thinking, entrepreneur, product leader, and advisor, for a powerful conversation about vision, alignment, and the quiet patterns that cause good things to slowly lose their way.
Radhika introduces the concept of product diseases - the silent patterns that cause good products, built by smart people, to go off track. But as the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that these "diseases" don't only happen in products. They happen in careers. They happen in leadership. They happen in families. And yes, they happen in marriages.
Together, we explore what happens when we measure the wrong things, when we chase external success, when we over-give, when we try to be the hero for everyone, and when we keep iterating without ever returning to the original vision.
This episode is an invitation to stop asking only, "How do I fix this?" and start asking, "What are we actually building?"
Because a life of no regrets is not built by moving faster.
It is built by moving together and with direction.
In This Episode, We Explore
- Why success can look good on paper and still feel misaligned
- How "product diseases" show up in careers, leadership, parenting, and marriage
- The danger of measuring your life by the wrong metrics
- Why course correction is not failure
- The difference between speed and true forward velocity
- Why relationships need shared direction, not just effort
- Why too much "vision debt" or too much "investing in the vision" can lead to burnout
This episode reminds us that alignment requires courage. It requires slowing down long enough to ask the deeper questions
