                    About the Episode
Ana is a self-described vagabond, a Canadian living in Australia, passionate Product Manager at Redbubble, a leading online art marketplace. We speak about the following and more:
- Ana's journey into Product Management from Marketing via UX
 
- The importance of guidance and mentorship at the early stages of a PM career
 
- The importance of getting shots on goal early 
 
- Some of the systemic problems with returning to work after maternity leave
 
- How we're pretty far from having acceptable diversity in tech & product, but at least the conversations have started
