The Optimal Path Podcast - A podcast about product decision-making

Hey, Product Hunt Community! 👋 Ash Oliver here. I’m a UX designer and the host of Maze’s brand-new podcast. When you use a product, you only experience the shipped version of it. What you don't see are the numerous iterations and countless decisions that led to this "final" result (we all know software is never really finished 🙃). We think there's something truly insightful about exploring the myriad of decisions that led to delivering this end-result. What constraints and questions did the team face? What challenges and tradeoffs were involved? And how did the decisions in these moments drive success? Today, the team at Maze is delighted to share with you 🥁 The Optimal Path 🎉 🔊 What are we launching? The Optimal Path is a new podcast, created by and for people working in product today. Each episode brings in a new guest—designer, product manager, UX researcher, or subject-matter expert—and explores the ideas, frameworks, and approaches they use to inform product decision-making. 🎙 Who’s on it? I’m tremendously excited to host intriguing and inspiring conversations with a diverse range of voices in product. People like—David Hoang, Jeremy Le Van, Brian Lovin, and more, all with insightful perspectives and unique experiences to share. 📲 Where can you subscribe? You can subscribe to The Optimal Path on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Google Podcasts. Check out the trailer for a preview of what's ahead. 🌟 An enormous shoutout to the Maze #PodSquad: Elena, Stel, Paul, and Lindsey, all of whom were the best teammates in bringing this podcast to life! Lastly, you might suspect it from the premise of the podcast but, we believe in an iterative and insights-driven approach. We would would love to hear your thoughts—which guests do you want to hear from? What topics are top of mind? Let us know what you think in the comments below! 👇💬 Happy listening!
