In this episode of Biz/Dev, we talk with David Watkins, founder of PlanMyKids, about the realities of building products that actually solve everyday problems.

We get into the intersection of product strategy and entrepreneurship from leading enterprise product teams at companies like IBM and AT&T to launching a startup focused on simplifying how parents plan activities for their kids.

David shares how years in product management shaped the way he approaches building, validating, and evolving ideas in the real world.

Along the way, we talk about what it takes to move from strategy to execution, how customer insight should drive product decisions, and why the best founders stay curious while solving problems that matter.
