☕️ Product Café - a morning brew by Product Squad.
A while back, I had an idea for a breakfast show about product management.
It took me some time but here’s an early attempt at creating something new, authentic, where a few of us get together and have a laugh about tech, entrepreneurship, product and more.
The pilot is now on Product Squad and…it’s in French 🇫🇷.

🏞️ Worthy Eateries
Last week I had lunch at Adrien Ferrand’s Eels in Paris (2nd visit).
This place is a real gem 💎.
Adrien Ferrand is known for his talent, precision, ingenuity and lack of interest in Michelin-star ratings.
He’s a chef & restaurateur and is the great mind behind Brigade du Tigre, a casual asian-inspired canteen where I could eat every day.
One of the things I love most about this place is that it reminds me a lot of Lyle’s (possibly my favourite restaurant in London, current ranked #33 on the World’s 50 Best).
Service is casual yet impeccable, all ingredients are cooked to perfection and come together exquisitely.
The restaurant is almost always fully booked, but you can find a table if you book a week or 2 in advance.
It’s 3rd-date-want-to-impress material. 🍷
⚠️ Warning : these are dangerously good. Drink only in moderation.
I’m not going to describe these wines here because…what’s the point.
Go try these for yourselves and tell me what you think.
They’re exceptional IMHO.
Product x Food: If you’re a die-hard foodie and would enjoy an exceptional meal with other foodies like Damien, Louisa and me, please let me know by replying to this email.
I want to get a sense of how many readers here could be part of a group dining experience. 💛

Refer Axel’s Bento 🍱 and win a chance to grab Evidence Guided by my friend Itamar Gilad
Research shows that most of what we build creates little or no value for our users and the business. To break away from this harsh reality, you need to adopt a different system, one that combines human judgment with evidence.
In this book, Itamar Gilad presents an actionable model to bring evidence-guided development into your organization. Combining tried-and-tested methods with tools created by the author, Evidence-Guided offers a systematic approach—the GIST model (Goals, Ideas, Steps, and Tasks)—to help you create high-impact products.
You'll learn how to choose the right outcomes, prioritize ideas, build and learn at a fast pace, and collaborate more effectively with teammates, managers, and stakeholders. The book provides principles, models, processes, and tools (such as the popular Confidence Meter shown below) all demonstrated through real-world examples and infused with nuance gained through years of practice.
Enter the prize draw by referring 5 friends to Axel’s Bento.
🎁 There are 3 eBook copies to win!!!
Winners will be announced in a couple of weeks.
