Hello Tobi, I'm glad I stumbled upon your video. I'm currently working as an intern PM at a Telemedicine startup (Utogenx) in Nigeria. I took a training course for 6 weeks in November (at Nsonye, a community that seeks to bridge the gender tech-gap by teaching young women tech skills for free) and built a tech E-library as my Capstone project. I really love product management, but I don't see a lot of Nigerian PM content on here so it's really great to see this. I would love to collaborate with you on video later this year. Oh, and yeah, I have an Engineering background too, from Unilag.
Thanks for putting this out there once again.

I am glad I found your channel. I haven't found Aa lot of Nigeria content on this though. Thanks for sharing your story. I have been trying to learn skills based on my strength

Thanks for this video. I have also been stuck in trying to find out where my skills fit in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for the exposure.

Great tips! I'm transitioning into Business Analysis as well and these are great tips. The fact that I had started building my brand like a business has been so helpful. I love the fact that you were very intentional about your transition, so it made easy on you. Well done🙌

Hi Tobi, thanks for this video. You however didn't give any specifics as to exactly "how" to start a career in PM. You used lots of "many platforms out there" and "many resources out there"... Lol. The specifics are absent. Please, what certification did you take first? What specific resources? What platforms? This will actually then be helpful information beyond the motivational part. Thank you and expectant.

Hi Tobi,
Thank you for this video. I’m just transitioning into product management after being self employed as a fashion designer for the past 6+ years. I will be starting a PM program with Utiva come Saturday so I’m really excited for that.
I have two questions if you don’t mind.

1. Lots of people talk about transitioning with prior skills and I think this only applies to people who are or have been in the corporate world. How would you advise to move forward on this?

2. You have rightly spoken when you said there are so many resources and honestly, I have found that causes information overload. How does one filter through this? How do you know what’s right and what’s incorrect?

Also, you also spoke about building products with no code tools, I would love if you explored this on a later video. I think that would be a helpful resource for people like me who are just going in. Only if you have the time, of course.

Finally, if you don’t mind, I would love to connect via email or linkedIn if you’re open to it. Thanks again for this video.

😮 I didn't realise you changed your YouTube name no wonder I haven't been seeing your videos lately. Just a search on Product Management and your video popped. Woow really missed your content Tobi!

[omolecaleb]

Wow this was a nice watch 😊. I could relate alot… to what you spoke about. I think I am a future product manager but not now. Maybe I still have 2 more years to go before I move into the PM career path

[HarunaAbdullahi-pbbf]

Is product manager a future of any company?

[obihenson]

Good Morning, I just got registered in Tech. And fortunately I got selected in first batch this year which I happened to study in product management. My question where can I start from here or what's am I expecting？

[urdarkside]

Please can you make a video about the resources you used to learn about product management

[ChiomaBlessingNwabufor]

You said you took some classes, I expected you to share what sort of classes and how we can assess such class

[Byfhay]

Hi Tobi, Thank you so much for sharing, this is actually amazing. In your video you mentioned a PM program you took can you share some of those program links. I have taken a couple of PM courses and to be honest I haven't found my footing Thanks

[chikkyebunoha]

Great info sections, please what’s the best industry for Product managers?

[buddyjewel]

Hi. Can you mention the program that allowed you to build products? Thank you Ma

[Laura-sgss]

Hi! You said you got to actually manage a product before you went for roles. What did you do and could you do a video on this and break it all down for us?? 😊❤

[Renymua]
