AI is not replacing Product Managers. It is replacing the ones who cannot think.AI Product Builder — build a product using AI tools &amp; ship fast — is no longer a differentiator.So what separates the PMs companies fight to keep from those quietly replaced?The measure of success is never how many AI products did we ship.It is did we move the needle.Before you become a Product Builder, you need to be a Product Explorer™ — the ability to connect every decision to a business outcome that your executive is accountable for.A Product Explorer™ is given problems to solve, not features to build. That distinction changes how execs see you.That discipline is called Product Strategy &amp; Discovery — &amp; most PMs skip it entirely, turbocharging the feature factory. Garbage in, garbage out, faster.The PM who survives develops 3 skills:<ul><li>Executive skills to set product strategy and earn approval</li><li>Inventor skills to run Product Discovery &amp; find solutions worth building</li><li>Operator skills to scope, frame ROI, &amp; deliver the business outcomes</li></ul>Over four Saturdays, you develop all three — through the Product Model, build your own AI opportunity, &amp; a business case judged by Rocky &amp; a Fortune 10 leader.Not someday. Now.

Master the Executive, Inventor & Operator skills that make C-suite fight for PMs

Executive skill: connect every product decision to a business outcome.

Executive skill: set AI Product Strategy tied to mission and outcomes.

Inventor skill: run Product Discovery to learn what is worth shipping

Operator skill: build a Business Case that earns executive approval.

All 3 skills: pitch and earn Executive Approval under real pressure.

All 3 skills: measure success by Outcomes — not features shipped.

You've shipped at least one product or feature — this course builds on that foundation, not from scratch.

Basic product management experience

You've used ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini at work or personally — so we can skip the basics and go deeper.

Familiarity with at least one AI tool

Week 2 discovery prototyping sessions run on Claude (claude.ai — Pro plan, USD 20/month). You will need the paid plan to build and test it

Access to Claude's paid plan (USD 20/month)

PMs stuck in Project Model — shipping what stakeholders ask, who are ready to switch to Product Model — solve problems that tie to outcomes.

Mid to senior PMs who do solid product work but struggle to connect it to what leadership actually cares about.

Product managers feeling pressure to deliver AI results but unsure how to make it count at a business level
