Welcome to my Substack š¬
My motivation and what you'll get out of this...
Welcome to āFinding Your Ikigaiā
Note: Iāll share more context around the meaning of āFinding your Ikigaiā in the next post.
š Hi, Iām Brandon Khoo. Iām a Product professional helping other companies build better products @Ā AmplitudeĀ š¦. Before Amplitude, I worked as a Strategy & Operations Manager launchingĀ Uber MomentsĀ and managing our Courier Experiences/supply for Uber Eats across the United States and Canada. Before Uber, I was a management consultant at KPMG Australia, working on several technology-related projects. You can check more about my professional backgroundĀ here.
Since late 2019, Iāve been climbing my own personal mountain to realize my dream of becoming a Product Manager. Throughout this journey, Iāve realized there was such a large discrepancy in my skillsets in where I was and where I wanted to be. As a result, I had no choice but to be intentional, seek discomfort and push myself to maximize progress. Along the way, I developed a greater appreciation for the Product Management field but also stumbled across other complementary topics like Entrepreneurship, Technology, and Health.
However, the most rewarding part of this journey was meeting folks with similar mindsets from work, Product School events, and other networking events. It brought me tremendous joy in sharing my experiences, providing mentorship and direction to others so that they too can achieve their goals.
So at the start of 2021, I started looking for a medium where I could document these experiences, refine my thoughts, and share them out more broadly while ensuring that I have the bandwidth for other ongoing commitments. It took some time, but after exploring Youtube, Medium, Clubhouse, TikTok, I landed on Substack because it seemed to strike the right balance between being a creator and being intimate with my consumers.
Iām really excited to share my journey and very much looking forward to connecting with you all.
My promise to you
My goal is to send out a weekly post every Sunday at 8:00 PM PST to highlight my top lesson for the week with the content revolving around Product Management, Entrepreneurship, and Health. When you subscribe, youāll get full access to all the content without having to pay for anything. So please join me on this journey, and Iām very much looking forward to learning from all of you and hearing any tips, advice, and feedback you might have.
