Welcome to Beautiful Brain!

My name is José Miguel Santos. I worked as Product Manager for large companies (Google) and startups (DoorDash, SWORD Health) and decided recently to go solo to take more control of my time as I became a first-time dad.

Throughout my career I always have received feedback that I think; differently; I am the person that comes with ideas or insights that no one else thought about. When I discovered that I had ADHD in my 30’s it all made sense and I connected the dots.

Now I am embracing my full self. Part of it is that I am always trying to do is learn more, and there is no better way of learning than writing, so that is the goal of this newsletter.

I wrote in 4 different sections (so you can cherry pick which ones to subscribe to) on the following themes:

  • Beautiful Brain - every week I share 3 interesting stories that sparked my brain

  • The N of 1 Product Manager - Every Monday I share some observations of what great Product Management is based on the learnings of my past experiences and current interactions with some of my coaching clients. I believe that PM is a role that has no one right way to do it and the most successful PM's have found success by identifying their unique style.

  • Tech belongs to everyone - Every Wednesday I write a short article on observation of the tech world and startups, based on my work advising founders and startups.

  • A Better Human - Every Friday I write about ideas and learnings on becoming a better human. I long on humanity and am optimistic, but at the same time I know I need to work every day to learn how can I become a better human. Sharing my experiences here
