Frequency: 1 episode/2d. Total Eps: 5

A podcast for aspiring product managers from non-technical backgrounds in China.

Each episode features real stories, practical advice, and honest conversations with PMs who’ve walked the “atypical” path—from humanities and business majors to successful product roles in top tech companies.

We talk about:
- How to break into product management without a tech degree
- Resume and interview tips tailored to Chinese job markets
- Strategic insights from interns and full-time PMs
- Navigating career choices, skill-building, and personal growth

Whether you're a student, a career switcher, or just PM-curious, this show is your backstage pass to the reality of becoming a product manager—without fitting the “typical” mold.

New episodes every other week. Hosted by Beibei, a media graduate turned product manager.
