The Best of Lenny’s Newsletter 2023The single best way to discover my all-time best stuff across both the newsletter and podcast👋 Hey, Lenny here! Welcome to this month’s ✨ free edition ✨ of Lenny’s Newsletter. Each week I tackle reader questions about building product, driving growth, and accelerating your career. P.S. Don’t miss my brand-new swag store (find great gifts for your favorite PM, or yourself) and Lennybot (an AI chatbot trained on every newsletter post, podcast interview, and more) ✨ The end of the year is nigh, and as I do every year (here’s 2021 and 2022), I’ve revisited every single past post and podcast episode (over 400 of them!) and picked out the cream of the crop, organized by their job-to-be-done. This post is now the single best way to find my best stuff across both the newsletter and podcast. What this collection can help you with:
To help make this more skimmable, I’ve added a 🎖️ emoji to posts and podcast episodes that are in the top 15 most popular of all time. To reflect a bit, this was a big year for me. The newsletter nearly doubled (approaching 600,000 subscribers!), the podcast went from essentially nothing to a top 10 technology podcast in the U.S. (with over 3,000 5-star reviews), and the YouTube channel is about to hit 50,000 subscribers. Most amazing of all, the subscribers are increasingly getting together for IRL meetups all over the world: Lenny’s Newsletter meetups all over the world My mind is endlessly boggled by how far this newsletter and community have come, and I’m so incredibly grateful to you for participating, reading, sharing, and supporting this work.
