Course overview

Does this sound familiar?

Your days are jam-packed with meetings and urgent slacks. You're always busy, but never accomplished—feels like treading water. Deep work feels like a distant dream: Instead of proactively driving strategy, you're stuck putting out fires left and right.


You're also facing the AI dilemma: You're drowning in tasks that "AI could never help with," but worried about being left behind by peers who are using AI better. (You've tried ChatGPT and found it disappointing for senior PM work.)


It's going to get tougher.


Boom times are over, and tech orgs are flattening. More experienced people are competing for scarcer product roles. Rapid advances in AI are accelerating expectations of what one product manager can handle.


As a result, companies are increasingly expecting product managers to own a broader swath of the product, lead multiple teams, and set strategy—while staying hands-on.


Every PM in this situation will inevitably hit a wall. What worked in the past won't work anymore. (This is where many senior PMs burn out.)


Now imagine if you could:

✅ End your day with a tangible sense of accomplishment, knowing you've moved the needle on strategic initiatives.  


✅ Spend a good chunk of every day in deep focused work (guilt-free!)  


✅ Lead multiple teams with successful outcomes  


✅ Cultivate self-reliant teams that operate smoothly, even when you're not in the room  


✅ Fortify your emotional inner game to maintain clarity during waves of overwhelm


✅ Communicate confidently with leadership about your capacity and priorities. 


✅ Build a PM-specific AI copilot for data analysis, prototyping, shipping, strategic decisions, hard conversations, unavoidable busywork, and high-quality artifacts (while maintaining your unique voice and creativity)  


✅ Consult, brainstorm, and converse with an AI copilot that understands your unique team & company context (and gets smarter over time)  


✅ Develop an "AI mindset" that becomes your permanent career advantage


✅ Be known as the irreplaceable PM who's always finding new ways to use AI, and teaching the rest of the org

What enrolled PMs say:

❝ After completing three Reforge cohorts and several other PM courses, I can confidently say that your course has had the most direct and immediate impact on my growth as a Product Manager. ❞


❝ Honestly Tal, I was happy today at work, which hasn't happened for 6 months or so, thanks to the content from day 1. ❞


❝ I cannot believe my work experience as a foundational PM, managing two teams, changed so drastically in such a short period of time. Anxiety levels are now manageable! ❞


❝ This week I got to take my daughter to gymnastics and a dinner out as a family, then to the dentist with both kids the next day. And was around when my daughter lost her first tooth... that sounds minimal but is a huge deal and a shift from not having enough time to 'strategize' just a few weeks ago. ❞


This is not another "watch and forget" course:

Unlike courses where you're expected to implement learnings on your own time (when exactly?) we build your systems together IN the live sessions (zero homework outside of class).


⮑ I personally guide you and create time for implementation


⮑ I answer every question live in open Q&A


⮑ I sit with you for hours of unstructured office hours & work blocks


⮑ You get my personal Whatsapp - long voice messages welcome


⮑ You leave each session with working tools and habits already in place.


❝ Thank you, Tal. 100% worth the time from my workday. I loved the time we spent on the call to actually put these lessons into play. That was really valuable so I could actually start to see the impact. ❞


❝ Really appreciated the time carved out for the hands-on experience i.e. building your copilot. It's not a “sit down and listen" class. ❞



Unusually direct access to me (and only me):

I completely seal off my schedule for every cohort, so I can be surprisingly available to every student. 


📱 Real-time 1:1 support: my WhatsApp & personal gmail for individual async coaching and direct unblocking/troubleshooting (long voice messages welcome) 


👁️ Personal critique of every submission: The course features 23 opportunities to send me screenshots of your implementation of what we learn. I personally review and give feedback on every submission.


✋ Unstructured AMA office hours: hours of dedicated time to talk through your individual challenges, live.


❝ This household is on a first name basis with Tal. Let's just put it that way. ❞


❝ The course stands out for its practical content and Tal's exceptional involvement as an instructor - one of the most hands-on I've encountered. ❞


❝ Tal does such an amazing job on answering questions in the chat, people just ask him to break the quiet working time and answer questions out loud. He is that good. ❞


Total value vs. your investment:

💎 13 interactive live sessions $1,400 


💎 1:1 lifetime whatsapp access $3,500


💎 50+ tactical lessons, screenshots, templates, scripts $550 


💎 23 personal implementation reviews $1,100 


💎 Recurring group office hours $350


💎 100+ prompts playbook with lifetime live updates $450


💎 Slack community lifetime access $250 


💎 Re-enroll in any future cohort for free


❝ You build something real that you'll use every day (I still do months later) ❞


❝ Well well well worth the investment. I feel like I got more than was promised. You're so relatable, the content always felt very approachable and applicable. Thank you for creating and sharing openly all the wins AND all the fails. ❞


Why this course will help you win:


🏅 Lead Multiple Teams Successfully: Manage teams across domains without feeling spread thin.

❝ Thank you! I had a performance review recently and received 'bar raiser' (highest) level. Of course there are tons of factors, but a part of the success was from your course. ❞


❝ Finished your course in December, so some healthy time between that and now: Just wanted to say thanks - hit a wall of overwhelm, revisited the relevant materials on the course - sky is starting to turn clear again. ❞


❝ Tal, I genuinely believe that this course was the best purchase I've made toward my professional career.❞

Tal Raviv

Gen AI PM, early @ Patreon, Riverside, Wix, AppsFlyer, DuckDuckGo, 17K+ students

Hey 👋 I'm Tal. I've been a hands-on product manager & technical founder for 15+ years at hypergrowth companies, always among the first PMs.


I’ve been featured on Lenny’s Podcast, and guest wrote the second most popular post of all time on Lenny’s Newsletter. I’ve led free hands-on workshops for over 17,000 product managers on Maven.


Before that, I led teams that


By staying hands-on, I've been trusted to lead big, hairy initiatives including several pricing overhauls and redesigns.


I was the founding PM of the Patreon API, which powers products at Spotify, Reddit & Discord. At AppsFlyer, I PM'd the engine for all of TikTok's mobile links and data feeds powering Amazon. 


Most recently, I joined as first PM at Riverside.fm, leading an AI product used by Mark Zuckerberg, Michelle Obama, and Bill Gates. My journey also includes co-founding a profitable SaaS company.


Joining early at five venture-backed companies allowed me to see what product org structures - and PM habits - succeeded in each context and why.


Here's what I left off my resume:


I constantly struggle with feeling overwhelmed and distracted.


For much of this time I was leading 2-3 product teams simultaneously, there's no way I could have thrived without a deliberate productivity system and investing thoughtfully in each team's culture.


Why I'm passionate about this course:


I believe that with the right systems and habits, every product manager can achieve outsized impact without sacrificing their well-being. After tweaking my system for a decade, I want to help others break through their productivity walls and level up their career.
